" My advice would be to wait until we have better tests which will be available in a similar form very soon ,though they are still under evaluation at the moment". That was on Friday.

Yet to speak -need the right question now!

I think its time we had an update .LR can't say to Banker on the 30th April news soon or news imminent and now over 3weeks later nothing. If you don't mean it don't say it !

I think its time John Newton and Boris appeared at the briefing. Its amazing nobody has asked them about how developments in RTC are going!

Yes -report by Tom Parameter re Roche lab test ,but he did end by saying the finger prick test is in the pipeline. I don't know whether that is us or the principal is being attempt by many companies!

Won't this just be the Roche lab test.

The Abbott test was known days ago ,but who is in collaboration with Oxford University ?

Yes Shed_ we just seem to of been flying under the radar for a fair time now!

It would be nice if we could have an RNS that EUZ are in talks with a view to the sale of Torral, that may or may not lead to an offer! At least it would add some excitement!

Well with all this antibody news the government briefing tonight will be all about testing. Time for RTC to get their story out.Also we haven't heard much about the omega lab test.

Briefing tonight is Sunak and Jenny Harris so I doubt there will be any mention of antibody testing!!

The specificity side of the test is fine but its the sensitivity side that needs to improve .I think for this they would accept 98%,but for me when the government made their bullish figures on the no of daily tests they thought they would have antibody tests available. I think our lab test is around 99/98. It is about time one of the journalists at the 5pm government broadcast asks how the search for a home antibody test is progressing!!

Well the consortium test had 99.1 specificity 2-3 weeks ago but it was the sensitivity which was the problem and 95 won't be enough for our PHE either!

Are you sure it wasn,t Waitrose after that big deal he's just negotiated!!

Well I do agree that his email response to Banker on the 30th April saying news very imminent is a bit of a joke .If no news today the earliest it can be is the 11 may!!

Drop-Is there a big background sell?

Its about time PHE validated the lab test!

We just need to improve the sensitivity on those home testing kits.The specificity is fine!

Come on PHE time to validate the ELISA lab test and then we can here about the longer term agreement between Omega and Mologic to commercialise it. Then its all about the POC Elisa test.

In an hour Boris is going to get a grilling on testing! Is he going to pull a rabbit out the hat?
