I think everyone needs to calm down a little on this timing issue. There are now hundreds of projects with every PhD and post grad student jumping down manholes and collecting samples and running back to laboratories to undertake a qPCR test to verify that SARS-CoV-2 is in the sewage. And as well as the manpower and transportation to do that if you are realistic it can take anywhere from 10 to 72 hours to process the information, but which time the potential for isolation may well be long gone.
As has been stated. Integumen (Rinocloud) has spent (now) 5 years developing a real-time pathogenic detection system using nanotechnology photonics and AI to perfect the identification and alert when pathogens pass through the system. It was originally designed for bacteria (e.coli)
Now, rather than perfect a virus capturing system, we collaborated with Avacta and Aptamer Diagnostics, who have perfected over many years their ability to identify their pathogen target and capture it. It's not rocket science to say none of the parties reinvented any wheel. We worked and are working together to complete the miniaturisation of the system so that it can be dropped into any of the projects around the world to help them ALL accelerate their results. This is not a competition, this is a solution for them all.
If anyone has watched the world over the last few months they have seen that we have all pulled together, collaborated, cooperated and supported each other. This is the same in what we are doing with our consortium of partners. It is not simply a supply chain, but a consortium of experts and experienced scientists, engineers, designers, in both industry and academia and sales, marketing and distribution channels that are well thought out and under our control.
Everyone has an opinion, I get that, but no sense fighting about it. Those who have a short term perspective will go elsewhere. Those who stay are part of a bigger, longer term project. It's all for the best, no matter whether you are a trader or a LTH
