How long will it take for it to be commercially available?

Considering that the test doesn't require violation of the patient's body, I would not expect it to take extremely long.

Ehh .. this is a very preliminary paper in a small journal and medical devices have to undergo rigorous clinical testing before being used in clinical settings. If this will ever be clinically available, it will probably take at least 7 - 10 years.

Ehh... I wouldn't say "rigorous clinic testing". Many devices use/abuse the 510k process.

If it's cost effective probably <5 years, somewhere it'll see screening usage.

Wide spread rollout who knows.
