Yes antiegn lft but next gen. The money is moving to accurate decentralised versatile diagnostics. Q32 and Q16 were first gen, adding promate made it next generation....now what is the next move in the series here? A cartridge type accurate rapid test as Tay alluded to on twitter?

I am still very sceptical about lft as they are not accurate at all and give false readings both ways hence locking people up wrongly and making people think they are not infected when they are and thus spreaders. The margins on lft are also very low if the government only want to spend £5. When you think of the packaging, distribution, materials, labour and then outsourcing to a 3rd party - as i previously said it maybe 50p profit per test max? so you would need to sell 100m of these to make 50m cash?

Thinking more nova is the trusted UK go to covid testing expert, what the government have asked for nova have delivered. Winterplex....q machines...promate...variplex.....antibody test they are making now.....so why not the gold standard lft?

What other uk based company has delivered? Randox ok but they have their all in one focus....the ABC consortium fell by way side. Mologic keep failing and had to go back to drawing board......so think about it what would you do if you are in charge of uk testing? "look novacyt we need your help again, what do you need? Ok can you partner and help x out please we need this?

Just thinking out loud but don't see how you could argue with any of the above.

If there is a true gap in market for it then yes it could be, nobody in the UK bar surescreen has stepped up with an lft and even that seems to be held back. There is a gap in market.....we have the nhs market cornered imo with the q machines and the pure genius of promate. We have the cambridge mega labs along with what i am sure the london pathology network of megalabs - this is where out Genesig HT is. We have a USP in the private sector with versalab, we have a huge tie up with biograd. We will soon have the next gen antibody test lft test. Oh and we have the geno assay sequence which allows for variant analysis

What is there not to like about this amazing company

It does make you wonder who novacyt would be looking to acquire. Cash pile by the end of the month imo doing the calculations will be comfortably over 200m. We started doing expedited work with IT-IS prior to acquiring them, could we be doing similar now with a company, providing the market/government with what they want. any thoughts?

Just doing some reading up on https://www.knownow.com/ they are a saliva based lft, they were in news over weekend (telegraph) have the CE mark (they didn't seem to have any problem getting validation unlike other tests having to go abroad) and oxford uni backed.....I see some links with employees who used to work at novacyt there now.

What has always intrigued me is the science behind promate reactions in tubes and whether it could be adapted then validated in such way as above....with so much money to pump into r&d just makes you wonder as they are always looking at next generation, ahead of the curve.

There is silence at the moment for good reason, the clues are so obvious with the jobs, complete faith as novacyt always deliver, adapt and listen to what customers/government feedback/want.

Good news that France have joined the trial after all that nonsense with the home brew of interferon from that french doctor tweeting. Nice find.

That is quite old that document. Lepu Lepu Lepu, that is the uk sovereign test that will be manufactured. Just like the deal done with germany to allow local manufacturers to make it - 30m of them, this will be the same deal in uk here. Then it will be the end of the road in uk for said other jam lft test. Might make more aware that the uk test coming is lepu

https://novacyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Manufacturing-Technical-Assistant-advert-for-website.pdf So they actually have 5 positions open for this roll so 31 vacancies still in total. As i said yesterday cheapest stock on aim

Supplying a proportion of it. Just to correct you

Perfect scenario for uk economy get everyone to spend in the UK rather than aboard........you don't want people going abroad and boosting say spains economy....It will either be PCR or no travel. Simples.

BBC breaking you get to flip a coin to decide if you have covid when you come back to the uk - these will be special 50p coins, you are advised to drink a can of coke and have a fag right before you toss this coin. Then please jump on the tube from heathrow to Piccadilly circus around rush hour and breath all over the passengers as much as possible

Yes lets allow everyone back in with variants with lft how stupid! Government will have to subsidise. I will pay for tests to go away. Sorry budget airlines but the country can not risk having variants back in.

Haha Oriens i think you need to read or listen a little better.......

We also wait for the recorded video of care home info and lab based info. If you recall Jack taylor filmed these elements to alongside the verslab etc. We have seen videos with rns. So clearly there are two more major rns (care home - we expect care home study in q2 of this year...we are now in q2) and then the lab element.....(HT that would be replicated in the Cambridge lab). Towards the end of the month we get the financial results officially, q1 sales update and finally forward looking statement!

Few months back there was this put in on the freedom of information act asking how many q machines are used in the nhs, they missed the allotted timeframe in which they have to legally respond and gave a very specific date which ties in with the tenders....Here is the link.

That was a while back she was a temp staff, we discussed this role, they are replacing here with two new staff. All the other account managers staying on fyi.

What is interesting is that linkedin psot from that painting company about completing all the sprays on the q32 machines....versalab rns only mentioned q16....so where are all those lovely new q32s going.........

Central contracts still. Freedom of info act about q machines is 8th April - they specifically chose that date, the date of tenders...interesting.

Majority of the roles all permanent now back in august a lot of the roles were 12 months. I think it shows adoption into uk testing arena now of the q machines. This is the week we find out, thursday is my guess. Lets see i don't know anything really

https://novacyt.com/careers/ 26 individual roles in total, expanding capacity in production, warehouse etc. that looks like substantial growth to me

Another chunk at 687 for me will take that. Thanks
