Typical trading activity. Get a grip!
Great find. I wonder how long now until the analysis is complete and published?
Unfortunately at these levels we are totally exposed to more trading. Any rises without significant RNS's will be sold out pretty soon after they happen. Bloody annoying
Just checked out the Thriva Website and the Antibody testing offered is from a blood sample returned to their lab or partner lab for analysis. They do not use a LFT type device so clearly ODX site in Alva would not be in the running for this contract.

Think that was from last week
Ockenhuest you also forgot to mention the Government funded Toyota Manufacturing support.
It definitely supports other posts on the board that CE marking for home test is essential and if our own Visitech or Mologic test get CE then they must be in the pool for selection.
The more people that ask and the more news stories must add to the pressure but this government is beyond belief and Teflon coated - nothing sticks to them and non are held responsible for there actions.
Have a good weekend all and the fight goes on - this business will produce a UK made LFT and as shareholders we can do our bit.
The question to my Mp (before the extension of the EUA)
Can you please give your understanding of the current situation with regard to the Innova situation and MRHA Emergency Use Approval which expires on 21st June given that the US FDA have withdrawn the Innova test and called for it to be returned or destroyed.

Dear Bob,
Thank you for your correspondence of 29 June on behalf of your constituent, Mr ********
***** , about COVID-19 and lateral flow device (LFD) tests. I apologise for the delay in
replying.
I appreciate Mr ****** concerns.
Alongside the symptomatic testing service, NHS Test and Trace is using rapid-testing
technologies for asymptomatic individuals and to improve our detection of positive cases.
Roughly one in three people who have the virus do not have symptoms and could
therefore be spreading the disease without knowing it.
Regular asymptomatic testing remains an important element in protecting the most
vulnerable in society from COVID-19; and LFDs are the most appropriate testing devices
to achieve this.
Exceptional Use Authorisation was granted for the use of Innova antigen-based self-swab
tests as it was critical to provide rapid asymptomatic testing to the population. This
authorisation was granted in the interest of preserving public health at a time when the
pool of LFD suppliers was limited, none had a CE mark for self-test and Innova had
passed the Government’s rigorous validation process.
The department will continue to work closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency to ensure all testing available to the public is safe and effective.
I hope this reply is helpful.
LORD BETHEL
NI is currently experiencing 1900+ positive cases daily. How many would be a suitable sample size?
Good post again Convex. Nice to see.
Gotcha. Good luck Captswg. My personal opinion is the price is very attractive.
Captswg try buying in smaller quantities as I had the same issue last week but managed to buy every time at £3 - £4K range.
Sea of green in a day of red!!!
That may prove to be a good move today - markets in sell off mode
I like the idea that Colin comes back to work on Monday and we get a 12% increase to start the week.
Global warming maybe!!
Lets face it Twatcher if the inventory is sat at circa £2M that wouldn't be classed as a stockpile!
I am sure you are aware that inventory is broken down into Raw Materials, WIP and finished goods. My only concern is that you are trying to create an issue where it doesn't exist.
You would say that's a commercially wise move by Colin - make to order.
ODX painted with the same brush as ABDX. It's a see of blue buys right now ????
All - after what could be argued as the worlds best response to covid by vaccine rollout, rising cases in fully vaccinated people is rising.
As a result, Israel's government has introduced a raft of new coronavirus restrictions, including sweeping implementation of a digital vaccine passport and tighter restrictions on mass gatherings, as the country struggles with skyrocketing new infections.
The country had appeared to have put the coronavirus pandemic behind it a few months ago after a world-leading vaccine drive but it is now re-imposing regulations in a bid to clamp back down on infections.
The cabinet gave its approval for the tighter measures — including limitations on people gathering indoors and restricting entry to venues and restaurants to "Green Pass" holders — as new cases of the highly infectious delta variant of the coronavirus surge despite widespread vaccination against COVID-19.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the government would be "giving a booster" to the country’s healthcare system as new coronavirus cases continue a precipitous climb.
He said Israel had to prepare for a situation of mass hospitalisations, and was allocating 2.5 billion shekels ($774 million) to help boost capacity at hospitals nationwide.
Despite its vaccination campaign, Israel has seen new coronavirus cases rise in recent weeks.
The health ministry recorded 5,755 new cases on Wednesday, the highest daily figure since February, and serious cases have grown from 19 in mid-June to 400.
Over 58% of the country’s 9.3 million citizens have received two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
Earlier this month Israel started giving third vaccine doses to immunosuppressed individuals and citizens over the age of 60.
Covid is going no where
