Do we have accuracy comparison figures for the BT vs PCR (gold standard) vs Lateral Flow? Or is that what we will get once phase 3 testing is finished?

Even if the breathalyser doesn’t make it as a household item due to vaccines (although I’d buy one personally) I still see it having a great use in large factories, hospitals, cruise ships, airports, football matches and concerts etc, in these scenarios testing will be needed much beyond next year. All imho of course.

Got paid on Friday so I think I’ll be buying some more tomorrow first thing. Anything under 30p Is a top up opportunity for me. Thanks to GB for putting the TW bull **** to bed. There will always be haters, I suspect he’s trying to talk it down to get a lower buy in price as he knows where we are going year...and the year after that etc etc

Yeah A poor end to the day after today’s great news but it’s been rising the last few days and rarely do we see more than 3 or 4 blue days in a row. Could have been Helium off loading some or maybe a few warrants but it is what it is. Next week could be good and next year will be much better I think. I agree though we need to hear of contracts and money coming in before the SP does anything of significance. I’m sure gb and his team have it all under control.

I would be quite happy with 5% daily rises! A massive spike would only lead to a massive sell off imo.

Ah right lol. Nope was just referring to the SP in general although its dropped slightly but still blue! I’m predicting a 30p close today. Yes I think we are in and around the same average. Someday it will be £3 a share ;-)

I did TPKart. I’ve been buying in batches when I’ve a few quid spare and the SP was lower, average is now down around the mid 30’s. Tbh I’ll buy more if it drops, as anything below 30p will still see my average drop. But as I said before I’m long here for a few years as I really do think this share will be in the £’s in the next few years. This is the only AIm share I hold now, the rest are big blue chip slow burners and 1 or 2 covid recovery shares. Hopefully I’m right lol.

Honesty, I think helium’s shares (if they sell off) will be ate up pretty quickly in the coming days and weeks so it might be bumpy for a while but I can’t foresee us dropping like last time(hopefully I’m right). It’s already holding well today at 5% up and I would guess that the news hadn’t even filtered out yet. I would much rather see small steady SP rises than spikes one way or the other. DVRG seems to be on a lot more solid platform now than it was at the last perfect storm SP crash. I can’t see PI’s getting spooked this time, anyone that’s been here more than a few days will know the potential that lies ahead. GL everyone.

Ah get you now @gb thanks for clearing that up and congratulations on the news and great work that you and your staff have done. I think among the scientific community this will be very welcome and very interesting news! Onwards and upwards

Regarding helium, if they want to sell when the MCap hits 50k so be it, with all that next year will bring they will be out and gone for good. Still a ridiculous investing strategy imo, selling at a particular price when it could be doubled that in 6 months time.

Wow. This is quite significant. As GB said they now have factual evidence, evidence that is owned by DVRG. I would live to see this make the news on TV.

Very long myself as in several years. As time progresses AI and life science stocks with cutting edge technology will be the future, I guarantee it. I only wish I had more cash to buy when it was low 20’s but sure. This share will trade in £’s over the coming years.

I guess that’s why DVRG are currently doing the phase 3 testing on the BT. Let’s wait and see how it goes. Even the current PCR tests are known to give false positives/negatives, a big part of the problem is due to people not doing it right. The BT is a lot easier to administer

It would be useful to get some clarification from the CEO as to whether we are still in partnership with Parity. As mentioned it all sounded very promising in that interview but not much in the way of updates since then. I’m not asking for contract details or numbers just a yes we are or no we are not working with them anymore.

The biggest political party here the DUP are pushing for mass testing of the population here and in particular want rapid daily testing for care home staff and health workers. It has been raised in the House of Commons with Matt Han**** and Bojo has said there are plans in place to discuss With the NI executive, mass testing throughout the U.K. No doubt there are large pots of money available for such initiatives so funding shouldn’t be an issue.....Now what would be the perfect tool for the job!?

I can see this push having more traction in the coming weeks and months. @gjbrandon as you have already made tracks into N.Ireland with phase 3 testing this would be a great time to increase momentum. I’m sure Sir Jeffery Donaldson and the NI Health minister Robin Swann would love to hear about the capabilities of the Microtox BT and PD (if they don’t already know that is)!

I think it’s just for comparison as it was a government led scheme by PH England and the results from it can used a guidance for the number of positive cases you need as a % from the number of people tested in order to build up a credible amount of data. I.E 30 positive cases out of 1000 (what DVRG need) or 3000 out of 100,000 (What Liverpool tests showed)

The RNS confirms testing of individuals using a combination of the Microtox BT, lateral flow tests and PCR tests. That clears that up lol. It would be excellent if the BT was more accurate then the other 2 tests!

Davde the Liverpool testing was a mass test programme by the government due to high infection rates in the area and used a normal PCR test or a later flow(saliva) test to my knowledge, not the BT. I think the Liverpool figures are a guideline used now in terms of % of positive cases required to build up enough of a data set (I think)

Yes So it looks like there was approx 3% of the Liverpool tests came back positive so that’s probably the benchmark and DVRG will want a similar % to compare the virus (spike proteins) with their data from Aberdeen?

Then they can compare all future tests with this data set of 30/40 positive tests. So basically the data from the factory workers phase 3 trials (positive covid cases) will be the baseline data held on the server to compare all future tests with? That’s my interpretation anyway I may be wrong though!

I watched it again there @Newuncle and I can only here reference to Microtox PD and roll
Out of the PD. He said it’s more like community screening of wastewater (near source) in the factories, no mention of using the actual BT on workers in the factories. Also said it’s not like they are testing patients in a covid ward. I’d just like to hear some clarification on the testing of the BT, is it on people in the factories Or just tested against other existing tests for accuracy? How many people are testing the BT etc?
