Does anyone know where the adults have gone?

Definitely bad for Roche. As for Avacta only time will tell.

The market is often focussed on the current price of a commodity and slow to realise the effect of cumulatively raised prices.

I think it has gone largely unnoticed that we have started mining grades of 18 g/t in vein 25 and that there are much higher grades to come. Q1 was awful for a number of reasons (covid impact on AISC and production, low grades ), and I think that has affected the sp. When I run the numbers through a spreadsheet I get a very pleasant surprise !

One problem is that this government has now established a track record for giving contracts to unqualified, incompetent companies who happen to have mates on the board.

To see how S&S. prevalence of the disease and population size interact just set a spreadsheet to calculate it. . In large populations with a low prevalence, the importance of high specificity is dramatically clear. A very similar one has been published by a government scientist but I can't find the link, sorry.

On second thoughts the innovation is that they've got a POC PCR analysis device.

Does anyone know if they have managed to speed up the cycles required by a PCR test?

Thanks for the link. It appears that he's going after the cowboys and Avacta are nothing if not professional.

Over several years of investing, this has to be the most ignorant post I have read.

Would you provide a link as I cannot find it, although I did find an article by Prof Sikora and Dr Kellow (CMO Halo) promoting the Halo test from about a week ago.

My concerns from the Integumen RNS this morning were a} they are just embarking on the trials of their tests post prototyping and b) that by early 2021 (well, Feb/March) a vaccine should be in production thus giving their breathalyser a limited useful life in the market. Possibly a lot of other people thought as I did .

Quantity is quality

Yes, thanks very much. Interesting

davib. PL75 said in the Bethel thread that the test used on saliva is irrelevant. What arrant nonsense!
I'm glad to hear that he has got two brain cells . Perhaps he should try rubbing them together more often!

As I remember (please check) Medusa 19 was founded by two BooHoo directors and should therefor have access to a terrific global distribution network.

"The test used is irrelevant". Are you for real ??!!!

This is the reference. read it how you want but you will not get rich by believing in misinformation.

In addition to the new application of using saliva from Optigene being piloted in Southampton, we are currently exploring the potential of other no-swab saliva-based coronavirus tests with companies, including Chronomics, Avacta, MAP Science and Oxford Nanoimaging (ONI). We are also working with a number of suppliers, including DNA Genotek, International Scientific Supplies Ltd, Isohelix and other leading manufacturers, to develop bespoke saliva collection kits and scale up manufacturing for products that can be used with existing PCR tests.
It says "we are currently exploring the potential of ..."; it does NOT say we are testing in Southampton. Lord Bethel IS NOT TALKING ABOUT AVACTA.

It has already been established on this board that Lord Bethel was talking about Optigene's test.

Lostinspace. Thanks for the reply. I wondered whether that was your source. I'm afraid I don't read it that way. "Currently exploring the potential of" doesn't say "testing in Southampton " to me.

As I read it only Optigene's RT LAMP assay is being tested in Southampton. I would be overjoyed if soneone could prove me wrong.
