This was posted by Sandman on the NCYT board. Makes interesting reading especially the last point.

Good morning all,
I have carried out research that takes a look at the evidence to support my theory that Primerdesign have an OEM agreement in place with Thermo Fisher for their COVID-19 test.
I have included a link below to where you can find my detailed research note and i have also summarised the findings below if you struggle to open it.
Note: Primerdesign CE-IVD kit contains 96 tests.

Summary (Primerdesign vs Thermo Fisher test):
1. Both tests give the same detection accuracy (100%)
2. Both tests give rapid detection within 2 hrs
3. Primerdesign test works on open system so can be used on Thermo hardware
4. Thermo Fisher have included hardware in their FDA documentation to accommodate items which can run 96 samples at a time
5. Thermo Fisher FDA documentation changed to accommodate 96 tests rather than the 100 tests
6. Primerdesign market their test as 100% detection and have all the approvals around the world (USA, Europe, Asia, WHO). No advertisement or approval of Thermo Fisher test outside of the USA and standard CE-Mark for European approval. No WHO submission.
7. European OEM’s named and US OEM (announced in February) not named due to potential NDA?
8. Primerdesign products can be re-branded under OEM agreement. USA?
9. First Third Party UK relationship formed with Yougene Health. Thermo Fisher own 9% of Yougene Health. Were they recommended?
GL all. Stay safe and have a good weekend
