Flagged 12.24.32.13 because it seems that someone at Cepheid removed content from the Cepheid article. The removal was reverted. HLHJ ( talk) 22:25, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Went ahead and removed it, as the referencing is sufficient now with the vast majority being from reliable sources. - Indefensible ( talk) 23:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
The official name of the company at the time of its founding had no "Inc." in it. The company name is simply Cepheid. That is still true as of January 2020. Yes, that is legal in California.
The common name and the official name of the company are the same. Since the term Cepheid is more commonly used to refer to Cepheid variable and is currently a redirect to that article, I propose to rename this article to Cepheid (company). Any objections? -- Coolcaesar ( talk) 20:32, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
Drmies, in this edit, you shortened the lede. I think, subject to correction, that part your earlier edit comment "restored information, in main text--too wordy for the lead" was intended to refer to it, but you accidentally edit-conflicted SunDawn's revert?
I named and cited a specific accuser because I suspected, based on content earlier in this talk page, that the content might be challenged. I'm perfectly willing to leave that detail for the body. I thinkit would be useful to indicate that the company makes single-use cartridges and the associated testing machines, and that the specific accusation is that the company is using vendor lock-in and to charge many times the production cost of the cartridges; the lede's not terribly long, and the cartridge/machine structure seems fairly integral to the company. But my original phrasing:
The cartridges used in Cepheid's testing machines are single-use and must be bought from the manufacturer. The company has been accused of profiteering, with a Doctors without Borders analysis claiming that Cephid is charging over six times the cost of production for COVID-19 test cartridges sold to developing countries. [1] [2] [3]
...is rather clumsy. Would you be okay with a shortened form?
The cartridges used in Cepheid's testing machines are single-use and must be bought from the manufacturer. The company has been accused of profiteering, particularly in developing countries, by overpricing the cartridges at many times the cost of production, and engaging in price discrimination.
Well, that's not much shorter, but wiklinked. Any better suggestions? HLHJ ( talk) 02:49, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

There seems to be some WP:copyvio, in one direction or the other, with https://www.zippia.com/cepheid-careers-18696/history/ according to Earwig. No idea if the source is even independent. HLHJ ( talk) 04:30, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
