RE: Avacta and testing volume29 Jan 2021 14:28
Without wishing to ruin everyone's weekend. the WHO has a list of several emerging pathogens considered 'likely to cause severe outbreaks in the near future, and for which few or no medical countermeasures exist'. If Avacta comes up trumps with an LFD for Cov 19, they will definitely be in demand to prepare tests for any future pandemics. After all, it seems that there was no problem brewing the Affimer reagent. All the delays seem to stem from getting it into a workable device that can be manufactured at scale.
