Stumbled upon this lot offering a COVID-19 BREATHALYZER and also a MARIJUANA BREATHALYZER.

Just more evidence for proof of concept.
Expecting great things from results. Mid Q1 was it... so any minute now.
less than 1.5 days left in Feb T.Rat.......... :)
the Bud is nipping......... :()
All the best (Q1 fuel of news will propel............ :)
Now if we can just get an in home reader unit a whole new market opens up (what that wasn't an accidental confirmation the other day?... fine, for the future then):

A multi chip to let you know you are drunk and have Covid...
My understanding is that the scanners will be in your local GP surgery T.Rat.........!
in the future........... :()
All the best (more than booze and C.19......... :)
GBs twitter 22nd of Jan below, who says its not working. These are big words and they will not have been said lightly
#DVRG are seeing serious interest in demand for above and below ground testing, not just for SARS-CoV-2 but large scale infrastructure for multiple pathogens in real-time with #AI and #IoT which will continue to increase
Yes, like an ATM to begin. Areas with footfall to justify. Or right outside your door if you happen to be on a cruise ship.
I'm only having fun as the boss replied to a thread of idle speculation the other day with a description of how the scanner works not realising it was speculation about an implementation for home use. Not that I'll complain if DVRG follow Apple with "One more thing".
Future markets...
Glebewhite, you know that. I know that. But some here would have you believe the sky is falling...
So PD already being fitted. Update on BT any moment. We wait to hear level of success, not if successful...
"I'm only having fun" copy that T.Rat.......... :)
and as for "idle speculation ", it's the economy of scale that will determine the in house scanner........!
All the best (btw....... I expect it to happen......... :()
A laser with WiFi. How hard could that be?:

Sell the handles cheaply and make your money on the blades...
Rather than the haz bag.......... T.Rat......... :)
Add in the UV........ which sparked the belief ......... :)
All the best (it's just a lamp, but will require testing, for KILL....... IMO :)
So back to Hound Labs.
Quoting from https://houndlabs.com/about/
"Founded in 2014 in Oakland, California, Hound Labs, Inc. is a point-of-care health technology company that has developed ultra-sensitive and portable solutions for the measurement and identification of minute concentrations of particles and pathogens that until now required large-scale and expensive diagnostic equipment. The Company’s point-of-care solutions include the HOUND® MARIJUANA BREATHALYZER, which allows employers and law enforcement to rapidly identify recent marijuana use while on-site, and the HOUND® COVID-19 BREATHALYZER, which captures breath samples on-location for laboratory identification of COVID-19 in breath."
Old article, 24 April 2018 . Source: https://www.profitconfidential.com/marijuana/thc-breathalyzers-invest-now-cannabis-technology/
" Since Hound Labs is still a private company, you can’t find Hound Labs stock listed on a stock exchange.
Hound Labs got an $8.1-million funding round from Benchmark Capital, a major venture capital company that made early bets on Uber Technologies Inc., Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP), Dropbox Inc. (NASDAQ:DBX), and WeWork."
So Benchmark Capital liked what they saw in Hound. They've had some decent picks (well nobody bats 100 all the time):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmark_(venture_capital_firm)
Yet DVRG more advanced (speaking to Covid test specifically) and have more strings to their bow...
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/hound-labs/company_financials
"Hound Labs has raised a total of $73.1M in funding over 3 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Aug 27, 2019 from a Series D round. Hound Labs is funded by 5 investors. Benchmark and NFP Ventures are the most recent investors.
Hound Labs has a post-money valuation in the range of $100M to $500M as of Aug 27, 2019, according to PrivCo."
You can't invest there. You can invest here. Massive potential.
On the cusp of a revolution (a revolution DVRG will be at the forefront of):

Nice little Video. Looking forward to seeing Gerry on the mainstream news...
Jesus, that first one looked like something from the 50's., the second one an artificial dog nose. And they're getting air time? Hope Sterghios is by Gerard's side during the interviews, will make for great viewing. Thanks for sharing.
Dr Sterghios should be by the side of Boris..........!
let alone our Gerard......... :)
All the best (no offense Gerard......... :()
Ok, the doc can do the news and Gerry can do This Morning... (some morning soon).
Haha look at the state of them, sexy breathalyser coming to the market, move a side.. so ahead of the game..
Just checking back down twitter.com/DocMoschos and his objection to reopening economy is notable. Is that because of shortcomings with LFTs or is it more absolute? Will the extended data collection period entered into by DVRG enable him to support the roll out of Microtox BT...
Sterghios A. Moschos @DocMoschos 19 Feb
"Now imagine social distancing collapsing with LFT results that are not reliable, and transmission expanding under newfound freedoms in schools, restaurants, pubs, cinemas, care homes, hospital beds, ICUs... You do not gamble with public health."
Or thread from 19 Feb:
https://twitter.com/DocMoschos/status/1362873519797907456
"I want my life back as much as everyone else- but not at the expense, or profit, of someone else’s. Let’s hope the data for the new LFT’s that @HuffPostUK has alluded to match PCR or at least overcome the Ct 25 argument Achilles heel: that Ct vs infectivity varies between labs."
"That variation can be as bad 10x to 10,000x. That’s a lot of generalisation on top of assumptions to get the country milling about again on."
The tone when compared to Gerry's response to HuffPost article is very different. Source Twitter, Gerard J Brandon @gjbrandon 19 Feb. Tweeted huffingtonpost.co.uk story with below observation:
"This is very welcome news as rapid tests are the only way to stop the spread and open the economy #AVCT".
He knows his stuff that’s why we have his patented breathalyser on board.. He is highly regarded been on the news a few times..
Who haven’t we got.. I can’t wait, hidden gem and for the greater good. Outstanding Gerrard and co
Hutchy1, I don't doubt his credentials. I was however surprised to see his messaging against using testing to reopen being so absolute (not even a hint at future possibilities of better quick tests). Now perhaps DVRG results will be so wonderful it will be totally reasonable for him to move to support testing as the answer as a new and better option has become available. His opposition would be damaging given his tech has been licenced for use in Microtox BT...
Given his press profile it would certainly be nice if he were to appear on American TV to explain the benefits of Microtox BT.
I think he is probably looking at the bigger picture as they can test for near enough everything.. but to get the world moving again a quick accurate easily testing is need, then they can move on to Breath cancer etc.. this is the platform for greater science
Dvrg don’t get 2 cat 3 scientists labs for nothing..
This technology will be everywhere, sensors in the sewage system and medical breathalyser above ground.. why wouldn’t u.. News is coming, and already had skin dna and no human testing.. which is ground breaking but not commercial enough so nobody cares, sad world, but unfortunately it’s the world we live in.. I love this company and with the scope it has now will be a world leader in science With it’s world leading partners.. don’t be fooled by the share price, this is mega IMO..
Hutchy1, as noted earlier (DVRG keeping good company):
