you forgot
"I really like that product, I will call back tomorrow to give you my order"
and
"i have a meeting this afternoon, but will definitely sign the contract tomorrow"

Nokia is a great example. They relied on their historic superiority and did not innovate, then BOOM, apple and Samsung ;left them in the dust.
We have superb new tech, we have technically proved it and brought it, in theory at least, to market, but so far, as far as the market can see, have not sold any yet, and most people probably don't even know about it because we have made no attempt at all to start building a brand.,
We do not want to be in the position that we have seen so many time before, of having UK technology at its best loose out because British Boffins are the best at creating but not good at selling. Really Really Really hope that AS and the Team have this covered properly and are not just hoping that because the numbers are good buyers will automatically seek it out.

we could end up in the same boat. Great technology but too slow to move and we will be either swamped by other better marketed stuff (as in VHS vs Beta when Beta was better but VHS did a much much better job licencensing to many manufacturers who flooded the market) or potentially overtaken by better teck

which one? spectrum or C%? Spectrum was revolutionary and sold big time. But marketing naivety left it out in the cold when he did not manage to grasp the speed at which microsoft, and indeed apple, desktop PCs would advance. The C5 concept on the other hand was ahead of its time but the available technology just did not support it. It was never going to sell.

Yes, hopefully, first shipment of stock should justify an RNS, with opportunity to comment further on sales and orders in general.

if the GOV put their, ahmm, OUR money where their mouth is, it would be simple. It was with innova. provide the UKs best Covid test with an emergency use authorisation and switch supply to them. Thus supporting, promoting and building a UK diagnostics industry.. Using due process as an excuse is pathetic. No due process for Innova, just actions of convenience. If Bojo/Javid wanted to support British they could turn it round by next week. bottom line, for whatever reason, they dont'. So lets supply Europe and RoW, and when/if UK Gov eventually come to us because frankly public pressure forces them to u turn, we hold the margins on par with the huge markets will we already have built up. OR at least can earn brownie points by discounting for UK, and shouting about how WE are supporting UK< unlike the gov who ****ed away billions to Chinese business.

From a science perspective, probably, yes. But as a marketeer to make a brand? Sorry but I don t see it. There is no effort to promote the brand/product, no effort to create brand awareness. We are no longer in a limited product market where buyers have to buy whatever is there, there are dozens of Covid tests out there, easily available and cheap (regardless of quality) and Avacta need to make affidx stand out as the leader. MAKE a brand and MAKE people want to look for it and buy it. Where is our Marketing and PR? no where to be seen as far as I can tell. Also, bear in mind that the objective longer term is that Affidx is a general diagnostics brand. As the first product under that banner it should be the start of the brand build. LOUD AND PROUD.
MADE IN UK BEST IN CLASS DIAGNOSTICS: AFFIDX, WHEN IT MATTERS, TEST WITH THE BEST

Ahhh well,

Party parrot with no capability for independent thought.

That is to say, what a poor experience for you from the distributor. Regardless of whether the delay is distributor or manufacturer, I think we all as shareholders have a right to be concerned about delays under the circumstances.

#EbbsandFlows, How poor!
Have you gone to source? Maybe Avacta will tell you something, and if they don't, then all shareholders should start complaining direct to AS about their lack of progress in supplying and selling stock!

Arguably sentiment is ticking 2 of these boxes right now. C'mon AS get some damn sales announced!!

Top three characteristics of shorting candidates
Before you can start to short a stock, it’s important to know what criteria traders use to judge whether it’s time to short a company

Characteristics of shorting candidates
Obsolete business models.
Short-sellers will enter the market if they believe a company’s product or service is no longer relevant, especially if a new competitor has reduced demand for what the firm is offering

Accounting irregularities.
A short activist may seek to uncover accounting issues, which could be anything from creative accounting methods to outright fraud. A company which engages in aggressive earnings management may struggle to keep up the act over the long term, which could ultimately have a negative impact on its share price

Poor management.
A short seller should question how well the company is being run. Poor decision-making could impact a firm’s growth, so a short-seller may also check the track records of the management team in their previous positions

wouldn't trust a politician if they told me grass was green. But then, it is unlikely any politician would actually commit to such a definitive proposition. More likely to change the subject so as to not have to make a definitive response!!!.
W*****s

being cynical, he says we have worked to build up our lft CAPACITY and continue to do so.
That in snapshot may be true, but of course was not the essence of the question: (and he knew that but used slimy words so that he could claim to have been truthful)
The real question is, why is the government not supporting and BUYING UK made tests. (or are they?)

but I am disappointed that Bioserv are not promoting the product on their home page. They have banners, why not an Avacta one (maybe we did not choose marketing pack A, which included dedicated promotions!!)

I understand that the accuracy of the test is not 100%" disclosure present on the product page which requires ticking before purchase.

Standard on all. Affidx as well. Arse covering by Bioservuk that's all

“Industry-leading Accuracy
............
We have clinical trials from the UK, USA, Sweden and China which show a combined accuracy of 98.8% (96.8% diagnostic sensitivity and 97.1% specificity)

Industry leading ..... i dont think so??. Might have to change their site once we get home use approval.

"...it’s about performance and provenance......" exactly, and I am keen to see how those values are promoted for Affidx, the most accurate Lateral flow test in the world!

Brand suicide to just be another test on the shelf next to cheap ****. Needs to be loud and proud with banners bells and whistles.

well it does not look clear to me. I hope we have a better brand presence than the generic looking stock on there.
