Ahhhhh mostin....filtered you tit of course it’s coming to market!
Mostin..The share price will fall until the Oncology technology gets proven...but no one knows about the future, so it's not with worrying about it as AVCT..has many stings to its bow.LP
What happens to the share price if this rapid test never makes it to market, which is quite possible?
I'm more inclined to believe Myles' well researched estimate of £16 than a pie in the sky £50 you keep going on about without any real substance. Put a research paper together to explain your findings otherwise its nonsense.
Maybe not for a while, but yes as I have consistently stated, in time we could see that sp hit.
Looks like once its official and in the public by confirming its indeed Avacta, AVCT will or could be the market leaders in the important test and trace aspect of this terrible virus.
If I recall it correctly, Prof Hayward on the Today programme wrapped up by saying that the long term solution to this pandemic was "vaccine AND treatment development".
Doesn't Avacta have a proposal to develop an Affimer-based neutralising treatment for covid19?
Why does it have to sound like our test, why the cloak and dagger, just rns it’s being tested by PHE or something.
£50 here we come (rubs hands in a Mr Burns kind of way).
Having just watched the interview again with AS, he clearly states, that they will hopefully be using the tests on patients towards the end of june, Which appears to be spot on
The most salient quote from the article as far as genuine holders here is:
"or run it through something that looks a bit like a pregnancy test and it gives you the answer, so the shortest ones that we are looking at are about 15 minutes."
That sounds like our test!
As well as making testing more convenient, it is hoped that a speedier diagnosis will enable doctors to make quicker decisions on the future care plans of their patients.
Speaking to The Today Programme, Prof Hayward said this morning: “There are a wide range of different, innovative tests that have been developed by our UK life sciences industry and more internationally. They don't all use swabs, some of them are looking at saliva and they don't all use the same sort of chemicals that the lab tests would need so they give us a different sort of route to getting these answers.
“Ideally you take a test, you put it straight into a machine or run it through something that looks a bit like a pregnancy test and it gives you the answer, so the shortest ones that we are looking at are about 15 minutes.
“It could be either a saliva test or swab test, it's about the way that the test tries to work to find out if the virus is in the system or not.”
The CONDOR, which is a UK Government and National Institute for Health Research funded study, will have to meet strict conditions before any tests are made publicly available.
Coronavirus tests which could deliver results within fifteen minutes are set to be trialled in care homes and hospitals, Oxford university scientists have revealed.
Prof Gail Hayward, an associate professor at the university's Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, said researchers are developing rapid saliva and swab tests which could eventually be used at home to diagnose coronavirus.
She is leading the Covid-19 National Diagnostic Research and Evaluation Platform (CONDOR), a new national research programme evaluating the accuracy of different tests in various clinical settings.
Environments in which the virus is known to be particularly active, such as care homes and GP surgeries, are being targeted for trials in the hope they will be able to deliver results faster than in settings with a lower prevalence of the disease.
While acknowledging quick tests can be less accurate than longer ones, the scientists are looking at a range of speeds which can provide results from between fifteen minutes to a “few hours maximum”.
At present, the main test used to detect Covid-19 can take up to 72 hours as it involves sending samples away to laboratories.
