Where has everyone gone !?
Thanks for the link, DG12. There has been a lot of discussion and speculation about the nature of Dell's involvement here but isn't it as simple as the Reuters article states?
”U.S. group Dell Technologies has also joined to provide data services, Integumen said at its annual meeting on Thursday."
What else do we expect from Dell here?
This will bounce off the 3p support line on Monday, and resume its upward march, in line with SKIN's share price. Some holders were spooked by the extension to the publication of the offer documents but it's coming this Friday, so people will take positions in anticipation.
Looking for 4p-4.25p by COB on Friday, unless another juicy RNS drops at SKIN, in which case it should go even higher.

Andy the idea is that the alert can be used so you get tested ASAP.

So many communities are testing poop for Covid-19, equipment is running out.
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues on in the US, state and municipal groups are scrambling to find ways to track of new cases and potential outbreaks. One such method: scanning sewage for bits of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself....
.... Why the big fuss over sewage monitoring? Wastewater-based epidemiology has the potential to be a cost-effective complement to clinical testing. Because individuals often shed bits of the virus in their fecal matter before they come down with Covid-19, it can be a way of tracking where outbreaks are about to happen. In a small enough community—like a university campus—public health officials have been able to see spikes in SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, test dorm residents, and isolate the few people who tested positive even when they weren’t showing symptoms. Boom—outbreak averted.
"Integumen's Microtox® PD and Microtox® BT Novel Sensors will be used for the identification of pathogenic viruses including SARS-CoV-2." Not sure who writes the RNS but how is Microtox BT (Breath test) going to be used in water testing?? Also when did Microtox become an Integumen brand, isn't it still MWG?
Great news! Trust should start to steadily grow now.
Alicia Douglas, President of Water Rising Institute comments:
"We are excited to be partnering with Integumen, as we are directly aligned on our goals to bring innovation and technology to the infrastructure of our water systems, to protect our people and our planet. The DRAWQ project launches this much needed real-time AI technology in Detroit, MI. WaterRising Institute will then help to spread this and many other real-time water monitoring and warning solutions to other parts of the US and the world"

WaterRising Institute is a women-led nonprofit that accelerates real-time and sustainable management of water. WaterRising aims to develop a state-of-the-art early warning system for water quality monitoring, that provides real time alerts, enabling the local authorities to identify the source of their pollutants, while protecting their citizens.
Under the proposed Agreement Integumen will act for and on behalf of the Consortium Parties of ecowaterOS technologies in the USA, EU and associated states under the European Neighbourhood Policy who provide products and services. The appointment to manage the water systems will continue for three years, with an initial trial period of six months, and an annual renewal thereafter.
Integumen will act as WaterRising's agent to design, build, install and supervise the Detroit River AI Water Quality Project ('DRAWQ[i]'). The DRAWQ project consists of a Consortium Parties of ecowaterOS technologies in the USA, EU and associated states under the European Neighbourhood Policy. Monitoring products will include ecowaterOS partner's HydrolightTM, RAWTestTM, Microtox®, OVA®, PDV®, RaPID Assay®, EnviroGard®, EnSys®, QuickChek®, AlgaeChek®, BODChek®, PetroChek®. Integumen's Microtox® PD and Microtox® BT Novel Sensors will be used for the identification of pathogenic viruses including SARS-CoV-2.
Gerard Brandon CEO Integumen plc commented:
"WaterRising Institute is an inspiring consortium driving recognition of the importance of clean water and we are delighted to be working alongside them in the DRAWQ Project. More than 35 million people rely on the Great Lakes for drinking water, jobs and their way of life and right now there are 90 Million Cases of Recreational Waterborne Illness Per Year[ii], clearly demonstrating the need to rejuvenate the river. This work will enable Detroit to become the center of excellence for technology and systems for the measuring of water quality and we are proud to be a part of this drive for environmental change."

Covid 19 coronavirus:
Test wastewater to track virus carriers, says professor
New Zealand should implement a wastewater monitoring system to boost protection against hidden Covid-19 clusters and asymptomatic carriers, a University of Otago academic says.
Professor Neil Gemmell, a geneticist at the University of Otago, is part of a national group, led by the Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited (ESR).
The group is sampling wastewater, with a view to detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.
ESR recently received $1.65million in Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment funding to undertake wastewater-related viral detection research.
Gemmell's research group had already detected coronavirus in wastewater at Dunedin's Tahuna Wastewater Treatment Plant in late March and April, he said.
Big overseas developments in the field showed the required technology was established and effective.
The Washington Post reported late last month the University of Arizona had undertaken periodic screenings of wastewater for coronavirus on its campus, and had detected two asymptomatic students at a dormitory, preventing a sizeable outbreak.
Gemmell was keen to see wastewater monitoring implemented at the country's international airports and ports to detect any "hot spots" of new infection.
This approach could also be deployed regionally to provide monitoring of specific regions, such as Auckland, he said.
"With Covid-19 cases re-emerging, albeit currently contained in quarantine facilities, the ability to test sewage at facility, local and regional scales could well be an important part of New Zealand's surveillance safety net."
This approach could also be used to identify "virus circulating in asymptomatic carriers", potentially preventing community outbreaks, he said.

Rising levels of virus in sewage could be early warning of surge
Scientists monitoring wastewater from a treatment plant in Dublin found evidence of increasing levels of the coronavirus in sewage as cases in the capital surged.
A team of researchers at UCD's School of Microbiology, who have been monitoring samples from the Ringsend plant in Dublin since June, say routine testing of wastewater could act as an early warning system for future coronavirus outbreaks.
"We have seen a significant increase in the level of RNA [genetic material from Covid-19] in the wastewater in the Ringsend plant in recent weeks," said Wim Meijer, professor of microbiology at UCD, who is leading the project.
"The levels of genetic material have been going up, which coincides with the number of infected people in that area.
Think recovery mode started now and we will see steady Rise TOWARDS 4-5 easy... then news and back to 6-7
Expecting share price to continue upward climb in days and weeks ahead.
if buying pressure continues we could be now 3.65 -3.70 close
This is just being HELD back... Once start moving this will move quicker then SKIN I think...
Amazed many are paying a premium for SKIN when cheaper here.
Gone NT to buy now... this wont be held back... 3.50-3.60 hopefully today..
329 are buys showing in RED due to spread... once bit more buying pressure this will sort itself...

'Sewer sludge' detects coronavirus outbreaks days faster than contact tracing, study finds’
Researchers at Yale University found that testing "sewer sludge" in wastewater for coronavirus could detect an outbreak more than a week earlier than traditional contact tracing.
In the study, published last week in the journal Nature Biotechnology, researchers began taking daily samples from a New Haven-area wastewater treatment plant, which serves multiple towns in Connecticut including New Haven, East Haven, Hamden and parts of Woodbridge.
The study’s results, which span 10 weeks from March 19 to June 1, found that testing sewers for Covid-19 — collecting samples from the "primary sewage sludge" of settled solids — produces transmission trends that are “very similar” to those of contact tracing, but come about “six to eight” days earlier.
Wastewater testing is exactly as it sounds — and it isn’t anything new.
The science of studying human fecal waste as a way of predicting a population’s risk for viral spread, also known as wastewater epidemiology, has been successfully used by the global community in the fight against polio.
Wastewater, or sewage from households or buildings, can harbor viruses like coronavirus regardless of whether a person is symptomatic. When scientists extract human waste from municipal sewage systems, then analyze it for dead virus particles, they’re given clear indication of the number of infected individuals in that area.
“In communities where test reporting is delayed,” the researchers wrote, “sludge results, if analyzed and reported on the same day as sampling, can provide substantial advance notice of infection dynamics."
This roughly week-long period can be crucial to curbing coronavirus outbreaks. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those infected with the coronavirus may not show symptoms for up to 14 days, if at all, but may otherwise be contagious.
In August, the University of Arizona claimed a campus outbreak was averted in part because of wastewater testing which indicated two asymptomatic students were in a campus dorm. Prior to students, faculty and staff returning to its campus, the university had enacted a campus-wide initiative in which campus sewage systems were actively monitored for traces of coronavirus.
In countries like The Netherlands, France, and Australia small pilot studies have also demonstrated the promise wastewater testing.
In Paris, researchers released findings in April showing they’d successfully mimicked the rise-and-fall curve of the city’s on-the-ground epidemic over a 1-month period of testing the city’s sewage systems.
The Yale study also says wastewater testing is less costly, intricate and time consuming than contact tracing. As such, it benefits low-income communities and communities with overwhelmed public health systems where there are lags in testing.
Simmo, for a full explanation of the helium sell
go to skins board.
A few months ago this share was 0.4 so it has had considerable shareholder value increase. I can understand the frustration from yesterday as the shares have plummeted on that momentous rise , but the share value has still increased a lot.
Yeah ,companies are queuing up to buy this great technology.gold standard technology . Is it down to the sales team again. Seems to be very slow progress for such brilliant tech
