That's a perfectly reasonable question. I'm not even 100% sure, but I believe only LSE trades are listed here. If by LSE you mean London Stock Exchange. If you mean this site then yes that is a noob question ;) j/k

I had a buy earlier list as a sell based upon the midprice changing seconds after my purchase. I can't vouch for any others but it's plausible and common practice.

People still seem to be waiting for confirmation for things that have been overtly confirmed through official (FDA) channels.

Thank you Mars, I did see that. Just offering further meat on the bones.

Apologies for any confusion, the Primerdesign link is not on the FDA page, I added it on after the FDA text to show that Primerdesign are working in the area of the tests being used by the FDA.

"Testing is limited to qualified laboratories designated by the CDC and, in the U.S., those certified to perform high complexity tests. The diagnostic is a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that provides presumptive detection of 2019-nCoV from respiratory secretions, such as nasal or oral swabs."

The homepage for the 2019-nCoV section.

Thought I was onto a winner with the Info for Labs section, as it provides a link to the IRR page:-

"To request rRT-PCR kits, CDC’s International Reagent Resource (IRR)external icon provides registered users with reagents, tools and information".

But of course I'm not a registered user, so that fell flat.

I don't know if it was previously mentioned but on the list of Primerdesign clients, the World Health Organisation is included. Their logo is a UN globe with a medical snake, Google it if you wish.

The Oxford reference made by Matt Han***** is to a piece of equipment used, not the test itself imho

And GSK

For the purpose of transparency, I post on advfn as cmackay.

Sandman1982, I couldn't agree more with your statement: "Feel free to go and DYOR. It's not too hard as the info is out there.."

This is probably the easiest due diligence I've ever conducted.

Obviously other companies are developing kits, this is easily discovered with a simple Google search 'coronavirus testing kits'. This has been labelled a global emergency by the WHO and that means all hands on deck. As I found out yesterday, NHS are rolling out the tests for anyone suspected of having the virus.

Marie, nobody needs to convince you. Your investment decisions are your own responsibility.

It has a test for diagnosing coronavirus. It's been on the news.

Imho he is talking about 2 separate items. He says we are on of the first countries to develop a test (ncyt, as is known). He then says equipment being used to implement these tests was developed in Oxford. Think of a drug and a syringe, they are 2 different products.

Note that he states we are one of the first countries to develop a test, then goes on to state that equipment is being used globally that was made in Oxford. 2 separate points.

Main points regarding ncyt at 2:00 and 4:00

Actually it was just a rollover for 700k, sorry

I think k it's being heavily traded for small profits, rinse and repeat. However, a 700k purchase just turned up, so it could be about to change. NAI
