RE: AVCT style test from NCYT???17 Sep 2020 22:53
Well, Graham and his team certainly have both the financial means and technical expertise to work on it. As I said in the past, I'd be extremely surprised if they didn't at least have various prototypes.
And the timing of these new releases would be interesting. Why launch new Microgen products in the middle of the pandemic, when by their own admission : "During H1 2020, the Company’s protein diagnostics business, comprising of Lab21 Healthcare and Microgen Bioproducts, was significantly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and saw a reduction in global demand for its products. "
But if you look at the flu tests they're currently advertising on Twatter, well, they're not even home tests. IIRC and as I understand it, these are to be performed by an operator (e.g. doctor, pharmacian perhaps). They're not approved for saliva usage either.
So no, I'm not actively anticipating that these new tests will be corona-related. Prolly some "boring" ones.
