A microliter PCR thermocycler would be great at Chipotle restaurants. They've lost millions in revenue due to their E. coli problem. And supposedly they could not find the source of the bacteria. (No, I don't eat there.) If anyone here has theories on the topic or approaches to devices it would be neat to hear.
Quotes:
""In connection to the food scare, the company is now is facing an investor lawsuit in eight US states, lawsuits from individuals that contracted E.coli, and a federal criminal probe filed by the state of California.""

" "Investigators were not able to identify the ingredient that was responsible for the contamination. Chipotle, which is based in Denver and has more than 1,900 locations, said it has already made many changes to tighten its food safety. The steps include moving the chopping of tomatoes and lettuce to a centralized location, and blanching onions to kill germs before they're chopped.""

I like that the article states that they're killing germs. Valentine's Day is coming up, it'd be a bummer to get cooties.
