It was a great move by the BOD to send the machine back. Now the de-rampers can't tell us it's broken and so we won't be able to produce any masks. All outsourced to our fantastic mask making partner now Volz.

Hope we never hear any more about this machine ever again..unless it's about a refund! GLA

"We've added the barrier layer to both sides of the mask so not only does it protect the wearer but also those around. By killing the virus on contact, it also means that the used face mask can be safely disposed of and not be a potential source of passive transfer."

Sounds like the Indians wanted the 5-ply version.

You don't just shove the nano particles in the mask..they are turned into nano ink and printed on the filter substrate. I don't know if there is anything special about our nano particles but to replicate another way would require the complete end to end process not just the manufacture of nano particles..Then have the resultant material tested and certified.

How many masks did that Geordie mask machine make?

Was it about 7-8m per month if I'm remembering correctly? How much would we get per mask if it's our material? a few pence per mask maybe?

Hope we find out soon if it's us or not.

It's really appalling what the BOD have done with that statement. They have trashed the SP but have not actually provided any news on very much of relevance at all.

1) The machine is going back. Good riddance. We only used it for prototyping anyway. Our actual production is outsourced to Volz. At least we will stop paying people to fix it.

2) He did not say we would stop selling the masks. Nodoubt Numed will continue to try to sell the Volz made ones into Dr's and dentists etc..

3) He did not say we will stop lobbying NHS to get better long term protection for the health service against not just this virus but others and future ones.

4) He did not say if the Geiordie mask has our material or not.

5) He did not say if the publicity campaign is going ahead in India.

6) He did not say anything about the Volz air filters.

It seems the intention was to just depress sentiment prior to the name change and new CEO. IMHO

Still think the Geordie mask could be us. Has leg ever confirmed otherwise?

Maybe get the name change out of the way then they might tell us once it passes it's certification?

Don't forget aircon will happen, volz is driving it..doesn't matter how cr*p #RMS are at marketing, it's down to Volz and they have the industry contacts and distributor network already. All #RMS need to do is let them have the antiviral material.

Great interview. Katie sounded genuinely interested in the product. Maybe she's just good at her job. I hope he sends her some free samples.

1m:21s It pans out from India :)

Just joking about the greengrocers though. :)

Just averaged down. GLA

We're in with a dragon!

Can anyone recommend a greengrocer with exceptionally over ripe produce in the general vicinity of the AGM venue?

@Mulletman I'm pretty sure they said at some point that the cost to produce was comparable to regular masks so don't think it's a huge expense to manufacture. I don't have a link to hand right now to prove it, so feel free to treat it as suspect, but that's my recollection.

Much more likely that we are trying the exert a large markup so as to be in a good position for negotiation, also the mask has been sold to retail so the public always get an inflated price to what we would charge wholesalers or the NHS. IMHO

I wish they would launch soon; My knee is killing me and I only trust a product tested on the Beckhams :)

It's bound to make attracting more brands to sign with us a piece of cake now we can offer them potential exposure in a world class department store like Harvey Nichols.

Seems like the pieces of a virtuous circle are coming together..forget minnow..unicorn in the making might be more like it IMHO :)

It just kicks the **** out of it! :)

It's all here:

"How do the nano-copper molecules interact with the virus’s DNA, causing it to die and stop replicating?

Research suggests that the copper surface produces free electrons that enter the virus and produces free radicals that then go on destroy the DNA and RNA (Reference: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/copper-virus-kill-180974655/)"

"Copper kills in other ways as well, according to Keevil, who has published papers on the effect. When a microbe lands on copper, ions blast the pathogen like an onslaught of missiles, preventing cell respiration and punching holes in the cell membrane or viral coating and creating free radicals that accelerate the kill, especially on dry surfaces. Most importantly, the ions seek and destroy the DNA and RNA inside a bacteria or virus, preventing the mutations that create drug-resistant superbugs. “The properties never wear off, even if it tarnishes,” Schmidt says."

This lot are taking the pish now!
