What's your point Cromer?

There is a need for both types of mask.

@UnitedGuy, I don't think you understand how these campaigns work. You don't send all the stock at once only to have it sat in a warehouse in India and have to pay to do that. They have sent enough for the launch and now are sending enough to send the samples out to get the orders. This is simply good logistical control practice.

Dr Cave is like a superhero..The man behind the mask. :) GLA

Vivek Kohli is exactly what #NNN need. He's a salesman through and through. Will take our amazing products into one of the biggest markets in the world and smash it like a ping pong ball. GLA

Tongue in cheek this one :)

Maybe they will surprise us.
Must have had something going on to avoid the chop.

It's great news that they are attending. It shows the they are actively trying to sell into the NHS/Healthcare sector. They wouldn't be bothering to have a stand otherwise.

So whilst we haven't heard much about potential deals in this area as yet it could all be going on in the background.

If @UnemployedGuy gets really stuck there are jobs going at the Volz factory packing the masks into boxes for export.
No skills required. Time to brush up the CV :)

Could it be that they finally managed to under promise and over deliver. :)

Lots of Indian Dr's and nurses in the NHS.
It's going to get a bit silly if they all start importing their own pro larva PPE because the NHS don't provide them.

Welcome to the Pro-NNN team @Fusionboy :)

"University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, which runs Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, said the step had come after it experienced its highest level of COVID occupancy of the third wave.

Around 97% of the hospital's beds are reportedly currently occupied, with bed occupancy averaging around 95% in recent months.

The trust has warned it expects the situation to get worse."

That's splitting hairs @Unitedguy.

If you have 2 options and one of them works out, then one of them worked out.
That's a success!
Even if you originally favoured the approach that didn't pan out you had the good sense to try more than 1 way.

The machine was a contingency in case they couldn't find the right partner to manufacture them and had to go it alone. Fortunately we found a perfect match in Volz so we don't need the machine after all. It's not a waste of money to hedge your bets.

masks are back..Back again..

I don't know if it's been widely noticed but the growth in capacity of the technology that makes the nano-particles is nothing short of miraculous.

From what I can gather in 2016 they were crowing that they had been able to increase capacity to 1kg per hour which was an improvement on what used to be 1kg per day.

Then BRH invested £200k and about 6 months later they have added 2 new reactors each capable of 10kg per hour!

It now looks like the Doc wants to supercharge the process even more. If you read the patent there are so many optional things that could be fine tuned in the process.

As the original article points out the faster it is, the cheaper it gets!

These kind of gains remind me of the early days of integrated circuits. Maybe this should be called Cave's Law?

"Gareth and his team have now developed a process that can create a kilogram of nanoparticles in an hour whereas before it would take a whole day to create a kilogram. By making the process faster, it also becomes cheaper."

"Braveheart Investment Group plc (AIM: BRH), the fund management and strategic investment group, is pleased to report that it has completed a further investment of £200,000 into Pharm 2 Farm Limited ("P2F"), increasing its holding in P2F from 33.33 per cent. to 51.72 per cent.

This further investment will enable P2F to open a new manufacturing facility in Nottingham and expand its sales team to take advantage of the rapidly developing opportunities in agritech and other innovative applications."

"Two new reactors were commissioned by P2F this week, both capable of producing over 10kg per hour of nanoparticles each."

"In addition, the Company is investigating utilising the cash reserves to improve and increase the nanoparticle production capacity by developing a bespoke system, which has complex engineering challenges."

The irony is that regardless of if we are the antiviral layer in the Geordie mask or not, they are setting a new standard for antiviral N95's in the NHS. The demand from other mask makers to add antiviral to their masks should follow IMHO. GLA DYOR

Wow! That's quite a lot!..
..Do we have enough nano particle capacity Dr C? :)
