Sh1 teprofits article yesterday. Explains the influx of
new ****roaches. Behind a paywall so can only see the advert:

"Omega Diagnostics – how close to tits up? Placing process surely now underway - Why not ‘fess up?
You do not need the brains of, the amazing, Rachel Riley to work out that Omega Diagnostics (ODX) needs to do a placing PDQ or it is in serious danger of going tits up, But for those Bulletin Board Morons who, having the brains of a park bench, are in denial here are the maths"

Next carpet bombing of Chinese **** LFT's incoming

TW. So what do you suggest? Do nothing and cry about it. I'd rather go down fighting.

BBC News - Covid: Warning over patchy lateral flow test supply
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59814032

Am I reading this right that AVCT has been signed off for UK & Europe self test?

Weren't we ahead in the queue?

What do you mean Scottish press all over Omega?

One article this week re Omicron / mologic update. Hardly a deluge - lol

See Grant Schapps saying on breakfast news just now that the UK has hundreds of millions of LFT's in stock, just royal mail supply / transport isues which should be resolved by end of week.

Additional view from NXC - just shared on ADVFN:

I have been reflecting on the potential for upside from the current price ( which I believe is underpinned by the other two divisions).
1. DHSC - much has been written about this and the Company found itself in an impossible position having been in active dialogue with DHSC until very recently. I guess it had a choice as to alienate DHSC or wrap some wording around the contract expiring and leaving the door open for further dialogue both with regard to the use of the equipment and/or supplying the preferred DHSC test. The Company has been accused of misleading investors re DHSC and whilst I feel badly let down I suspect that there was a genuine belief right up until Mid-November that they were going to secure a meaningful bit of business from DHSC.Will the opportunity ever return ? One would like to think given the many extra miles walked by the Company on behalf of this Government that there would be some recognition of this. However right at this moment in time it is impossible to forecast and any attempt to put any positive spin on the situation would be met with howls of derision. The Company though does need to go on the front foot without alienating DHSC and more actively engage with those that can rightly influence those in power.We have a good offering a good story to tell. I think the DHSC angle is far from dead but meaningful revenues will not be seen until second half of 2022.

2. HUA - I am confident that HUA will be forthcoming and that will provide a significant boost to revenues with commercial discussions awaiting final regulatory approval.

3. FDA - I personally do not see this happening in short order and even if it does happen the main action is in self-test and not professional testing. The scale of investment for the former is in my view beyond ODX's reach as it does not have the capital resources necessary to exploit the opportunity.
I am left with the impression that the Company is as shell-shocked as we are by the decision of DHSC not to award any business currently to ODX ( do not get tied up with the legalese as that is just a convenient smokescreen) however all is not dead and I would like to think our country ultimately needs ODX and other UK diagnostic companies if it is to get out of this mess.

Son's brought a load of OG tests home from school yesterday so look like Innova stock finally washed through.

See both ABDX & NCYT have all of sudden taken off. Wonder whether the Gov. are finally going to settle their debts?

Interesting.

Good spot, but at the top of the site states "Registration does not represent any form of accreditation, certification or approval by the UK Competent Authority(MHRA)"

The government will extend regulations and publish protocol to allow some tests supplied to the private testing market that are pending validation to remain on the market in the short term. This is to address any potential shortage of supply while work continues at pace to ensure only high performing tests are ultimately approved to remain on the UK market. The government will continue to publish a list of private testing providers who meet the minimum standards for the public to choose from, with PCR test options available as well

"Travellers will be able to order their lateral flow tests from 22 October, when a list of approved providers will be published on the gov.uk website.

NHS Test and Trace tests - which can be ordered for free - cannot be used for international travel, the government said."

Just for you Gary
