jeeez! not another day of whinging about the same old same old!? Colsoul, just what do you think they are hiding??

Ezza, I agree with the divi, just a little further down the road is okay for me, but as you mention it's just an opinion, nobody is right or wrong. I am sure it will come if TF has anything to do with it!
Yes! there could be a lot more done regards .London and all the others in the portfolio tbh. We have turned the corner, just hope it's not too big a bend in it though!

spot on BB! I too see it as a blessing in disguise. If SJ rates Mr Farrow, then that'll do for me. To be honest I wouldn't have cared much who came in as long as Hall was booted out. Now we have TF, all the better.

yes SB, been here longer than I care to remember, certainly well more than 10 years! Funnily enough I am more optimistic now than I have been in the last 3/4 years. I believe we have turned the corner and now some proper management can do the business.
''We are pleased to reconfirm our statements from 30 September 2020 that the Company is profitable and cash generative, with the majority of revenue being of a recurring nature. We continue to see strong renewal billings''.

yes indeed! haven't they taken on 30 newbies? Apparently had to expend because'' there are so many samples''. Let's see if there is enough work/income for all the extra bods and for a profit on top.

''current vaccines may end up being useless'' Not all they are cracked up to be eh?

NiptSteve, about the only thing I can see is that Ygen are not yet UKAS accredited. However, as long as they have applied I think that is still okay. Yes, it won't be very long before a simpler easier more comfortable way for testing comes along, and not just for Covid either.That is what that £22B tender is all about goIng forward.

Truro, I asked this very same question about PCR becoming obsolete and got this reply from the company;

Thanks for your email.
''Antigen PCR is not an old style of test - it's always going to be the backbone of any nation's testing strategy as the accuracy and reliability of this lab-based testing can never be replicated by rapid tests. Antigen PCR is what is used in all NHS, Lighthouse and contracted commercial laboratories in the UK.

Lateral flow tests for antibody testing and antigen testing are effective for screening - but not to provide a clinically relevant results at the moment. If an individual is positive from a lateral flow antigen test then they would still be required to take an antigen PCR test for a true diagnostics test''.

we know Ygen were looking at a saliva test a while back. Not sure that it's any quicker mind? I suppose luckily we don't need or can do the bigger numbers others are reliant on. If we can do 20/30k tests a month that will certainly help things along if core is taking a bit of a dip.

PCR will be the 'gold standard' for a while yet it seems. Have you seen the criteria for travel tests, most countries stipulate PCR tests because the rapid stuff isn't very good. Don't forget they have doubled capacity and maybe even more to come. This is only an 'adjacency' revenue to core!! My hope is we get a good slice of the Tenders coming up.

are supplied by Ygen and their Clarigene test. Not sure if anyone else supplies Recova?

yes NiptSteve this first line ''designed, developed, manufactured and processed genetic screening tests for pregnancies, cystic fibrosis, cancer treatment and more'' is exactly what that big £22B govt tender is all about. Genetic screening testing for all illnesses is the way the govt are going and YGen are very well placed to cop a load (hopefully) of that tender. We already have a head start with our Nipt. Dpyd, Cystic Fibrosis products etc etc..
I believe the reason for all these new r&d jobs is partly to do with that tender. Time will tell as usual!

well something prompted the decent sized probable buys late on as the sp ticked up.

who here would be willing to go first? .... not me!

I am more interested in getting a slice of this; 2-4 years term, and not just about flamin' Covid!

not sure Sailplane, but they have been actively in talks with the govt over the last couple of months. They say they will be 'helping the NHS'' and offering testing capacity to the ''moonshot'' project, so we wait to see what happens.

Ezzza, don't know about 'wine o'clock now' sounds like you started a while ago! lol...but yes, I agree with your comments!

Col, I to do it through Walbrook as it all comes through them. Tried direct but got nowhere!
The product is this https://www.elucigene.com/products/genetic-disease-diagnosis-rare-disease/elucigene-dpyd/

as was the problem with Hall, he always knew best didn't he eh!? .....Except he didn't!
