Seeing as Mologic is part of the Radx initiative this is very interesting ;)
“NIH will provide reliable, independent laboratory and clinical data to FDA for test manufacturers that can scale up quickly. If tests meet FDA’s performance and quality standards, FDA will use this information to grant emergency use authorization (EUA). In this new program, HHS will prioritize new over-the-counter test applications that have the potential for manufacturing at significant scale.”
“Working hand-in-hand with FDA, NIH will produce the precise data needed to make authorization decisions quickly,”

Government press release…
Snippet…
From 24 October fully vaccinated passengers and most under 18s arriving in England from countries not on the red list can take a cheaper lateral flow test, instead of a PCR test, on or before Day 2 of their arrival into the UK. These can be booked from 22 October.
Change will come into effect for those returning from half term breaks with lateral flow tests available to book through private providers listed on gov.uk
Passengers must upload a photo of their test to verify results as soon as possible, with free confirmatory NHS PCRs for any positive cases.
Looks like it’s in relation to the £8bn lateral flow DPS tender posted on the 5th March by the looks of it and whichever companies have already got a piece of it…
