Thanks Steve5859, I first heard of these tests listening to BBC 5 live on my way to work and wondered if it was a YG test. On arrival at work I googled the news on my phone but couldn’t find who was supplying the kits, I soon realised YG was not involved as it wasn’t a hot topic on this BB.
I believe LumiraDx are doing the Boots tests
Just for my education who is supplying these kits to Boots?. I did google my question on the morning Boots released the news but couldn’t find an answer.
97% accuracy?? The chap from Mediskills said in the webinar that many of these 'new' tests fall below their stated figures. Doesn't do what it says on the tin! The experts say PCR will still be used for some time yet, and as you say we just need to make hay whilst we can.
I agree, core products are what it's about longer term.
Ongoing testing may supersede the current swab test. Boots has a publicly available 12 minute option with 97% accuracy at £120. Matt Han**** and Prite Patel were treated to a demonstration of dogs ability to recognize Covid 19 on clothing by smell. Many countries are training dogs to do this.
I'm all for Yuen making hay while the sun shines but am more pleased with the long term projections still coming through on new projects. In any case we would be wise to maximise lab capacity.
Bakky,
well said. Lots to look forward to and potentially a lot of good news with regards to selling our test in large quantities home and abroad. One deal is all it takes but the potential for a lot more is there.
if/when it drops I'm not sure what anyone else is expecting but I can't see it being big numbers. If we can get test capacity up to 30k+ then I think that'll be a result. I suppose we have to bear in mind that we only have a relatively small inhouse manufacturing/testing space so it will be limited. Of course when that is filled they can always outsource if needed.
Yes, it would be ideal to get some feedback on those 10 companies/institutions who were evaluating Clarigene. At least they seem to be selling overseas already so that's good.
LR also mentioned about a 'prestigious' partner signing for genomics in the USA that he would have some news about in October.
Still plenty of news to come, starting next week!?
