I think they will be working hardest on reducing test length below 45 mins.

I hear you allah, but my money is on Ant and Deck primetime..

If ShaunP's 17:40 post is correct, - "Following an initial Department of Health and Social Care order of 10,000 cartridges in March, the UK government has procured a further 70,000 [DnaNudge test] cartridges", that's not the poorest decision Hanc*ck / PHE has made.

70,000 won't last a day if rates of contagion elsewhere are to be believed.

That is plenty of time to experience the good and bad issues with the this test.

In this context a poor decision would be to have purchased 100's of thousands.

This a bigger (and probably busier) outfit than I thought.

I'm looking here allah4, & I can see Flu A/B, and Syncytial virus (RSV) A/B.
It doesn't mean they came from NCYT, but the chances are good.

Thanks for that, - I think you have a 50% chance of being right.

However I posted this yesterday:

I have found a presentation for the AGM, July 2019 on the Novacyt website:
https://novacyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Novacyt-AGM-Presentation-July-2019-FINAL.pdf

At the bottom of page 4 there are trademarks for the following companies, & I will be researching why they are there. :
Danaher, Biomerieux, Bio-Rad, Hologic, Qiagen and what turned out to be Becton Dickinson.

My money is on one of these being the OEM, this document is dated July 2019.
I haven't got very far with researching these 'prospects' yet ;)

Novacyt signs development contract with GenePOC

Novacyt's molecular testing division, Primerdesign, has entered into a clinical assay development contract with GenePOC, a Canada-based company which specialises in the development and manufacture of molecular diagnostic devices for the detection of infectious diseases closer to the patient.
Under the terms of the services agreement, Primerdesign will develop a triplex molecular diagnostic assay to identify influenza A, influenza B and respiratory syncytial virus A and B (RSV A and B) which will subsequently be run on GenePOC's revogene instrument.
GenePOC will seek regulatory clearance for the assay in the US through the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CE-IVD marking in Europe under the In Vitro Diagnostic Directive.

Graham Mullis, group CEO of Novacyt, said: "I am delighted that we are entering into this clinical development agreement with GenePOC, a leader in the provision of high-speed, high-quality and on-the-spot molecular diagnostic devices to healthcare practitioners. This marks our first significant business-to-business clinical development contract win in 2018 and adds further momentum to our business-to-business segment following material contract wins in China for both Primerdesign and NOVAprep."

I'm posting this so we can see what happened to GenePOC, - its a candidate for the spreadsheet.
I don't know whether Meridian currently has a relationship with NCYT, but I suspect not as they seem capable of generating their own assay's.
They may need Exsig assays though?

And the missing link is:

ShaunP,
Here's an agent in Iran (Tehran) selling q16 instruments for the spreadsheet.
Thanks for all your hard work :)

I'm starting some research, and have a few questions before getting stuck in.
The aim is to narrow down who is the USA partners for US distribution, and the OEM:

Coronavirus test update 28.02.2020 RNS -
"The Company also announces that it has signed an OEM agreement with a US healthcare group for the manufacture and sale of its RUO coronavirus tests".

I am not aware that the identity of this US healthcare group is known, - is that correct please?

Also:

22.07.2020 RNS:
..In the US, the Company has signed a major distribution agreement for its COVID-19 test with a new global strategic partner. The US is delivering significant sales growth for Novacyt and this new agreement enables the Company to accelerate penetration of its COVID-19 test in this important market. This distribution agreement will focus initially on the US, with the potential to expand into further markets..

I have found a presentation for the AGM, July 2019 on the Novacyt website:
https://novacyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Novacyt-AGM-Presentation-July-2019-FINAL.pdf

At the bottom of page 4 there are trademarks for the following companies, & I will be researching why they are there. :
Danaher, Biomerieux, Bio-Rad, Hologic, Qiagen, and one I don't recognise ?BD.

On Page 9 a table marked operations, displays the following;
Major OEM relationships - Examples: Bio-Rad, Thermo, Biomerieux

On page 10 (2018 Highlights) we have :
Acquisition of Infectious Disease business from Omega Diagnostics expanded products and sales channel improving profitability.

I'm wondering whether this acquisition would explain some of the page 4 logo's?

Anyway thanks in advance for any comments you might have on the questions thrown up by this document ;)

Just read your 09:46 post Dusterhater;
'Big bang on November the 5th then mr big - bet mrs big cant wait for that'

My mother was born on 5th November after my grandmother (full term pregnant) was innocently watching a firework display from afar.
Someone placed a jumping jack behind her, and my mother arrived within 10 minutes..

Be careful what you wish for when awaiting a jump in sp.

That'l be @ 8:01 Friday 24th July then..

Next time you see him, tell him you got cold feet after hearing some bad stuff on the grapevine, and you sold 90% @ 8:01 Friday 14th July, - adding you feel mighty relieved to have reduced.
Having lit blue touch paper, stand well back and observe body language..

Dave,
I can't think this subject has got left off the 'to do' list.
But AFAIK shareholders do not know how SNG will distribute in USA.

What contacts does SNG currently have in USA that could undertake distribution should FDA EUA be granted?

If none then how can USA benefit from EUA as things stand?

If distribution is organised, that might have a bearing on EUA grant.

Always money to be made in Therapy..

Sharebel - US EUA approval could drop today.

That might be the signal for Trump to attempt to buy the 1,000,000 doses SNG are stockpiling.
