Nanorepro <30 = 96.3 (some were throat swabs)
Avacta 0- 30 = 99% - AN - https://avacta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Brochure-Type-00901-SC2-Product-Specification-Sheet-v2-ID-33989.pdf
Still looks like a decent test though.
Will stick my helmet on for the incoming but...
A friend said something similar to me today. What if the government decides after August vaccination levels are high enough and they will rely on booster vaccinations and stop supplying free LFTs? Its possible and kind of inevitable at some stage anyway. The burden may well then be put on businesses and while the numbers may not be as high the cost per test to the private sector will be higher offsetting the reduction in numbers a fair amount.
Its not necessarily a bad thing as you are then looking at that 25m capacity (that the government was reserving) been up for grabs at higher margins and you would imagine the best performing test would get a large chunk of it.
Lets see what Monday brings (if anything)
Important.
I was just out walking in the local park and a geezer with hardly any hair in a lab coat jumped out at me and opened his lab coat. I expected the worst I have to be honest I thought my eyeballs were about to be scared a cumberland and 2 Yorkshire puddings but to my surprise and relief he had trousers and a shrumper on.
The most interesting thing was the inside of his lab coat was full of these little packets. Initially I thought he was trying to sell me drugs but I could only see a few letters which were with Affi... printed on them. As he opened his coat he said "Ey up mate does tha wanna buy some of the good $hit".
You can believe me or not its up to you but I promise I am telling the truth.
Thanks Malpenn it was in the Q&A at the end 56 mins onwards. Said he had no clear timeline but has to be relativly quick but requires other studies and audit by external party and has to be this year to be useful.
Hate to be Anal (I dont really ha ) and I may be wrong but he didnt say "by the end of the year" for home use. I thought he said it "needed to be before the end of the year". Your post implies AS is stating home use approval will NOT be granted until the end of the year which I think is incorrect for all we know it could be tomorrow. Happy to be proved wrong if I am incorrect as I cant find the video/presentaion where this was said now.
£2.36 per test and they are 35% off because nobody wants their $hit anymore (you tend to have a sale to get rid of stock and I would be offering 80% off on Innova if I was them with the bad PR at the minute) = £3.19 a test without VAT.
So a poor test that is also NP is £3.20 a test in large bulk orders. What should a decent performing test that is AN be priced at? I would say at least mid single digits.....
I also have a lot of experience in this market and tests are selling for anything between £123,456 and £8,765,5443 per test. I wont provide links or evidence of this you will just have to trust me.
See how easy that is? Without links or evidence to back up what you are saying they are just words. I dont mean that as a slight you may very well be genuine but personally I will stick to what we have been told from Avacta with regards to the price variable when making future decisions (which was mid single digit I believe) until evidence or further info proves otherwise but thanks anyway.

That's what time we had the last RNS. Point been that an RNS can drop at ANYTIME. May not be today may not be tomorrow who the feck knows but its 9:45 on Monday ffs and again they can drop ANYTIME. Give the doom and gloom a rest and enjoy the sun.
Nothing major (and expected) but noticed that
"Disclaimer: The AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test is currently registered for Professional use in the UK market only."
has been removed from the product page now. Didn't it say something about the United States somewhere once upon a time too or am I imagining that? Or it may have been on an RNS?
Pick the bit that suits the current narrative. Did you read why I posted it (laced with Ethylene oxide tin hat comment) or read the rest of it? How about we post the bit from the FDA who seems to be the dogs *******s today on here will you find that more reassuring?
"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggests around half of all sterile medical devices in the US are sterilised with ethylene oxide, including equipment used in general healthcare practices like wound dressings and more specialised equipment like stents (small tubes that can help keep blocked arteries open). The FDA says that, for many medical devices, sterilisation with ethylene oxide may be the only effective method that does not cause any damage to the object being sterilised. "
