The mixing step ins't transferable. I'm not super familiar with micro fluid mixing, but it happens on specially created glass plates with channels as narrow as a molecule wide. They's essentially single purpose physical process microchips. Constructing them is a (maybe the) bottle neck. Apparently you can count on both hands the number of people who know how to build these things.

Interesting. Are these channels related to length (in bases) of certain components?
What is the basis for saying the vaccine were developed "in a day" if this crucial, specific step was required?
Are there good sources with details on those steps and microfluidic chips?
