Good Spot ............. I certainly hope we are right in there on this one !!!!!!

Sorry, forgot to mention. The second to last paragraph in the link from the last post is very interesting giving the breakdown of the costs that a single sewage plant is currently paying. I think our solution would be highly competitive here and not to forget that it is near real time.
I am also mindful that Modern Water already have regulatory approval for monitoring and testing wastewater in the USA which I would imagine could also prove a huge advantage when it comes to negotiating a place for the equipment.
I appreciate the below article is yet another Wastewater/sewage article, but this one really does bring home the fever pitch level of energy being put into this project and highlighst the huge advantage and consequent potential hat MWG/SKIN will have if they can get their COVID real time AI detection up and running ahead of anyone else :-

NB: After a bit of a search, I still can't find anyone else working towards a real time AI solution .......... but not to say there isn't of course.

Many thanks for the reply and clearing that up ....................... which then actually then makes the Qiagen solution/test .............. very expensive if you want constant monitoring ............ :- ))))
I know this is a silly question, but I've got to ask it ...................... from the post, the "Qiagen RNeasy PowerSoil Total RNA kit, currently has a list price of £269" . This is significantly cheaper than our Microtox/Microtrace monitors. Bearing in mind that there is this significant price difference and that the equipment is Covid ready now , is there not a danger that large government establishments will just simply adopt Qiagen's equipment ??
He certainly knows about it ........... from the ADVFN board:

@panama7 everyone suddenly appears to be working on sewage samples. We are already working with Sheffield Hallam University, and with many others in UK and Ireland but we can't work with them all. However, I am grateful to you for highlighting yet another important University.
This is my first post and I am literally very new to Integumen having just bought in after doing a fair bit of research. I work in the marine industry and whilst I don't understand half the technical language being bandied about I believe this company could be a real gem and that the surface has not yet been scratched by way of applications for the Water testing technology. (I like the Skinlab tech too but really don't know much about it) For instance , on ships you produce three streams of waste by way of black water (sewage) Grey Water (Showers and sinks) and Ballast water all of which are discharged overboard at varying distances from specific country's borders. Whilst most ships have advanced treatment systems, the monitoring of the majority of them (with the exception of oily water) is still done manually which often leads to huge legal wrangles with government authorities as to what was actually discharged , particularly in environmentally sensitive areas such as the Barrier reef (main shipping lane) and Alaska. As far as I can tell, this is a solution that would unequivocally protect both shipowner and government parties.
Further down the line depending on scalability, if this equipment can detect the likes of Covid 19 and Norrovirus from fecal matter, then I would say cruise line companies would kill for a solution such as this, particularly since they are currently wrangling with governments all over the world who are scrutinzing what measures such company's are putting in place before they let ships sail again.

Sorry about the long diatribe on a first time out, but felt it worth pointing out that perhaps large installations and establishments are not the only obvious targets for this technology.
All the best to everyone and look forward to the share price going up once the analysts get a hold of the story
