PL75, exactly.

AWCT is the best share and the best bulletin board.

The Yanks are gunna love this!

Just popped my head in the door of ODX (they didn't see me). Lot's of chatter about us over there.

If he pulls out £50 then Jonesy will p*ss his pants with excitement.

Shafqut,

He's the elite, best of the best.

It's the way he charts, ice cold, no mistakes. He can be my chartman any time.

Not sure Shafqut. Iceman, can you confirm?

Went through at 141, which is of course the days high after close. It's a buy.

Looks favourable. Hopefully mopped up a few shares at the 140 ressistance we've been struggling to break.

Probably the yanks.

Great time to buy awct.

I haven't spoken with anybody who would have the vaccine. It's common knowledge they're trying to rush it through, backed by the Government to save the economy.

That's the biggest problem with the vaccine, getting people to actually have it...

The yanks haven't had time to watch and fully digest the news wyndrum.

There's a lot of resistance to get through to reach £1.98 buddy...

Agreed on all your points PL75. S&S have no doubt been a concern to all of us, but after today I don't feel worried. It's still a potential pitfall but today's video was the next best thing to an RNS.

Approvals will be the biggest value inflection point IMO.

Who else can't wait until they finally get to Awacta themselves?

Wbernard,

That is interesting information, I will be keeping my eyes open.

Avacta and Cytiva seem to have a very high degree of confidence they can do it. Infact, we may be about to find out they're already most of the way there - prototype news in next 5 working days. Not sure if you watched the Cytiva webinar last week where they discussed the challenges faced. If not, you may find it interesting. A lot of it went over my head, but it was very clear that it was no easy task. You seem to have far more knowledge than me.

Most of the way through it sounds like a disaster, but when you get to the end they give assurances they will bring the test to market. The next few days are going to be very interesting indeed! Worth following to see whats going on, even if just out of interest!

Wbernard, just seen you latter post.

So are you saying categorically that it can't be done?

B66
Prototype and lab performance by end of June (so matter of days). Go to market mid summer. I would take that to be late July or August. How quickly manufacturing can be scaled is the big question IMO.

Wbernard
I'm sorry I do not know. If you could enlighten me I'm always keen to learn? I'm sure most people invested in Pharmas don't understand the science. I could probably look the number up easily enough, but knowing how it translates in practice is another matter I'm sure? It's a bit like asking somebody invested in an IT company whether they know how to code.

B66: re sensitively/specificity, have a look at the video Avacta have tweeted today. Just skip to the last minute or two. Looks like they're expecting them to be pretty good.

Balanced66, I think that's the way it will go.

Instant antigen tests for screening, positives confirmed by PCR / BAMS.

Wbernard, as per my post below - I was looking for reasoned arguements beyond 'not validated' as that looks set to change soon anyway.

No, I have never worked in a lab. However, I don't think an in depth knowledge is required to understand that swabbing technique is a major pitfall. PCR may be the gold standard, I'm not saying it isn't, but that's only if the swab is done right.

Can't argue with Chrishars numbers, all sounds totally reasonable to me. Hopefully adequate to sustain the share price if there's a change in sentiment. We've no doubt all seen how much that can work both for and against us.

Good luck all.

Yes that's probably a fair point, it's not going to be an overnight change. Whilst changes in testing are coming, it will take some time to scale up manufacturing so hopefully that will leave enough of a time window for NCYT to rake in the money.

I can't agree on your second post though. Mass spectrometer machines are common place in labs. Regardless, I don't think they will be the answer either. I can't see Africa and parts of Asia choosing to predominantly use any sort of lab based testing due to logistics. That market will surely be covered by lateral flow devices.

Aside from the logistics, how would the test results be received? Except for in the cities, it's not going to be a text message! Instant tests will dominate those markets IMO.

Was in here a while ago and caught a good chunk of the rise to 500p. Haven't looked in here recently but was just curious as to what the current feeling is on PCR testing.

I haven't come here just to aggravate people, but I'm genuinely curious as to the case for people holding on so tight here now.

Seen CS is here and clearly making himself very unpopular, as I'm no doubt about to do as well.

PCR testing will remain, I'm sure of that. We're going to be moving towards consumer based instant mass screening tests within a matter of weeks. PCR will remain because any positives will need to be validated, but to think it's still going to be used on the scale it has been just seems unrealistic?

And this isn't taking into account saliva mass spectrometer tests which will be higher throughput than PCR. If those turn out to be just as good, whats the use case for PCR as that point - even for validation of mass screening results? Especially when you consider the big risk of false negatives due to swabbing technique and unpleasant too? I'm not saying it's going to cease to be used, but PCR could go from 1st to 3rd place very quickly.

Does anybody actually have a good arguement against this? The only one seems to be that 'it's not validated yet.' Which is absolutely a fair point, but there's no indication of failure and it looks very likely these new types of tests are coming through, and soon.

No sh*t.

I don't doubt you're correct on that. It wouldn't be logical to think otherwise.

IMO this video tells Awacta knows the numbers already, at least approximately, and they're very confident. I don't want to tempt fate, but I think this is pretty much 'in the bag' now...

Why make a video setting a standard and then annouce within a matter of days you haven't made it to that standard. Would just look completely ridiculous.
