I’ve been on a lovely holiday. Back this morning, delayed 4 hours, got home at 5am and woke up to this RNS…Proper back to earth with a bump!
Lots I can say about this but to state the obvious it’s just not good enough.
Its becoming very clear that the righthand of this company has no idea what the lefthand is doing. The BoD need to get their management team in a room and bang some heads together! Mistakes happen but learn from them, discuss, and put policy and processes in place to stop them happening again.
Just looking more and more like armatures at the moment, failed project after the next. Losing your reputation on the stock market is one thing but you can’t lose it within your industry. Why choose Abingdon? They seem to hit a problem and then have no idea how to solve it.
Got to get a grip and fast! Its still a excellent growing sector to be in, they have all the pieces of the jigsaw (except and organised management team) in place to make this a big success story but no more room for errors!
Maybe at risk of having too much going on now, get ‘A’ project over the line and in production we all need to know they can get a job completed and on the shelves!

God knows with Vatic. It's a good job they are privately owned because if they were PLC their BB investors would be going crazy right now. Loads of good progress and gusto.....then complete flatline radio silence???? The gut has to tend towards it probably means bad news, but seen it many times before where they are onto something big so told/policy to stay quiet?
Who knows, we all will do some day but for now a complete guessing game.

The MM's going a bit nuts with their code trades today.....maybe a wisper is circulating and something interesting might finally be coming?
Let's hope so! Been averaging about 5 trades a day for a week or two so a whopping 35! Is it us???

Hi Prime,
It's the plan simple main Abingdonhelth.com that is popping up on page one, not the simplyabingdontest site.
It makes me think they should not have bothered with the rebrand simplyabingdon, their main site has a head start so test sell all your test through that?. . Which you cam do of course but they should do more on the home page to promote simplyabingdon and link people to that site....missing a trick....again!

How getting on page one of Google works, it's also dependent on the number of hits /clicks the website gets so hopefully this means ABDX have / are already selling lots of test!

There are millions of web pages available for any given search query, so Google has to prioritize these sites in order of relevance and value, specific to each individual query. This is called ranking, and Google has a whole arsenal of algorithms dedicated to working out which web pages should rank for which search terms.

These algorithms consider a multitude of factors – the search term used, the content & functionality of the site, and the web page’s authority. A site’s authority is determined by a number of factors, including the perceived value of the site’s content and the number of sites that link back to the site as a reputable source of information.

Excellent, thanks for the reply JB.
Yes ideal is the very top but that will cost a lot of money. To be on the first page without spending any money is a big win!

I just typed into Google 'Buy covid tests' and Abingdonhealth.com is there mid way down on page 1.
This could mean big business once winter comes and people's goverment free tests fully run out.

I'm not sure if it's just because my Internet cookies are kicking in (I have googled Abingdon health many times before) or if everyone can see the same if googleing the same thing......can others confirm please?

In under two months’ time it will Autumn. Maybe things are happening behind closed doors but it’s amazing me how title planning there appears to be around dealing with the inevitable Covid surge heading our way.
It’s practically guaranteed almost everyone will catch it as some point during the next 6 months. The percentage of the workforce that can work from home can maybe plod on through it and keep working, but the Bus / train drivers, Doctors, Teachers, care workers, pilots, lorry drivers etc etc that can’t? Taking a week off on top of normal sick leave expectations and holiday time, this will have a very big effect on everything. China will probably keep going into lockdowns causing more supply chain nightmares. Schools closing as not enough teachers, planes and trains getting cancelled, hospital backlog getting even larger, all very expensive for the economy. What is the government and businesses plan to deal with this? You would like to think someone somewhere is thinking about it? One day lost productivity loses the UK treasury £3.5 billion in tax revenue. Investing in testing to minimise the lost days at work would more than pay for itself.

Yes agree, no more room for any slipups here. They offer their clients the full service from concept, to detailed design, technical transfer and then the regulatory process. They do appear a bit slow in all of these areas but its clearly the regulatory part they are struggling with the most. Just can’t seem to get the approvals they need to start manufacturing in numbers.
Looking at the job adds they put out they were not offering good salaries. People with degrees, master’s degrees and several years working experience aren’t going to work for 30k a year. If they do accept you are probably getting the bad ones.
They have grown very fast and I think they are still trying to run things like a small firm. I think they need to do some headhunting, get some proper pros from bigger firms in that know how to move things forward and into big firm world. They will cost money but in this case, I think very (hopefully) worth it.
I will keep waiting patiently for now but results, proof they know what they are doing is needed within the next couple of months.

Hi Zoom,
The answe is Yes, the Deepverge RNS on the partnership gave much more and better details than the one we got here.

The Agreement provides for development of a range of LFT units over the next 12 months in the following areas of interest:

1. Traceable Polymer System (i.e. field test kits) offer operational insight for the use of polymers as dispersants in cooling water and as traceable scale inhibitors for oil and gas that require methods to measure the excess polymer added as a treatment to each system. The new LFT units enable a greater understanding of the water chemistry and the ability to optimise treatment levels, and may ultimately prevent over/underdosing.

2. Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) optimisation. Used by corrosion engineers to determine the presence of SRB, the current kit format uses multiple sample preparation steps and a colour-change end point. The conversion of this test to LFT accelerates the results by reducing the number of steps compared to tests currently on the market. The SRB business is currently worth in excess of $100k to Modern Water and this easy to use upgrade expands the reach into wider corrosion test markets.

3. 1.7 billion of the world population does not have access to drinkable water[i]. The increasing regulatory support and legislation for high standard maintenance of food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals and other industries, are further increasing the applications of chemically tested water. Environmental LFT tests will include acrylamide, microcystins, algae in the second phase of development.

4. Detecting PFAS - "Forever Chemicals" (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) is an exciting new area of interest. PFAS has been added to the US Environmental Protection Agency drinking water treatability database[ii] which creates the need to make informed decisions about the level of PFAS in drinking water. This creates a very large opportunity for LFT single use testing in private homes, hospitals, hotels, pubs, restaurants and food and beverage manufacturing.

5. Wellness tests for Skin Trust Club will include Vitamin D, Cortisol, Menopause, Kidney and Liver function with the potential to extend the test service and product offering, including supplements.

DeepVerge will fund the costs of the projects being undertaken under the Agreement. Abingdon will be exclusive developer and manufacturer of the products subsequently transferred into manufacturing.

JB that's a very one dimensional way to see things. The UK used Chinese tests because there was not a UK ready to go in high numbers alternative.
The balance of everything is constantly changing. With a new WHO warnings of yet another new disease, rising Covid cases and hospitalisations and a run to be the next PM (promise a load of stuff to sort it all out) the balance is currently moving very much into ABDX favor.

I said it before, I don't want to be Mr doomsday man but mother nature does appear to be giving some hints?
Too many humans ruining the balance of everything!
The 'too many' gives nature the advantage, not a problem to spread a disease quickly and efficiently. Old diseases on the comeback, if its not covid it will be something else.
Sorry, im sounding like my old uncle John (twat) but don't you think it's strange the WHO were unknown to most last decade and now we have one health emergency after the other?
Only one thing that can save us while waiting (hopefully) for a vaccine to turn up and that's testing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-62279436

I would say even if ABDX mearly announced they are developing a test for this and the SP will double.
There is currently no LFT for this, surly on the radar and very big bucks on offer to those that can make the first few.

I personally like the look of the site. Plain and simple which makes it easy to navigate around and find what you want quickly and easily. Functionality is always more important then pretty looks and funky graphics IMO.
I can this this being a good money earner. Not sure what its like in your areas but last time I tried to see a GP the nearest ‘non-emergency’ appoint I was offered was in 5 weeks’ time! Wait that long for your problem to maybe get worse, go there, probably catch covid or something else in the waiting room, no thanks.
There will be a big market of people very happy to pay a few quid to self-diagnose themselves in the comfort of their own homes. They will need to work on getting the site on the first page of any Google searches. Us investors should help spread the word to family and friends if you can.

Thanks Muck, that’s a good find about Taiwan opting for saliva testing at Airports. I read yesterday that Canada is bringing back doing random testing at all its airports. New Zealand also bringing back negative test entry requirements.
As said here before when thinking of the very old, very young, mentally or physically disabled then saliva has to be the preferred choice especially if it’s a test you are making them do opposed to us choosing to test ourselves.
Maybe the future, everyone testing before travel or random selection at airports doing a spit on stick test? Vatic could be perfect if they can only get their test through these approval processes! What on earth is happening with them I wonder?

Its just a question of how bad governments will let things get before the penny drops that they can’t just keep sweeping it under the carpet and pretend its not there.
The current situation is unsustainable. NHS backlog keeps getting bigger as they are constantly on the verge of the brink just dealing with the here and now sick.
We (along with the rest of the world) clearly need more Doctors and Nurses whatever the Covid situation but if you want to mitigate for staff absence due to having Covid you need a whole reserve team (1000’s) of people that will cost multiple Billions ££.
All the supply chain problems, the cancellations, missed deadlines all costing the government, business and insurance firms countless Billions.
Surly a sensible approach would be to at least try and stop it spreading so much and give people the tools (tests) to do this.
Yes, it will cost several billion a year to do this but it will likely save 10/20/30X that cost to the wider economy/NHS. If the Government are at least sourcing those tests from a UK manufacturer at least some/ most of those costs go back to the Taxpayer through corporation / income tax etc.
Could of / should of the UK government done more to help UK diagnostics get their tests ready and through validation.. absou-bloddy-lutely for sure! But from early Covid days until fairly recently there was not a UK made antigen test available for them to buy in multimillion numbers. They didn’t really have much choice other than to go to US / China.. however they do now! It really will be a shocking travesty that our “good for British business” Tory government could not explain away should mass testing come back and they continue buying from China when there are UK made alternatives at similar costs.
Living with, AKA ignoring Covid is not working, a change of plan will be needed at some point, its just a question of when…I hoping its before the NHS collapses and big business start going bust!

Good article worth a read.

Obviously free testing will only be a good thing if the Goverment chose to use ABDX as a supplier.
I may have this wrong (please correct me if anyone knows) but I seem to remember reading that Surescreen (goverments only UK supplier) can make around 50 million tests a year?
That would be nearly 1 per person, the next week we would be back to Chinese tests for the rest of the year. Surly now, 'Levelling up', Brexit loving goverment with the next election a maximum 2 years away with pressure to call on sooner, would be a good time to ensure the UK could supply itself if free testing brought back?

Thanks for sharing that mgmidget, very interesting indeed. That's just 4 months ago so (for me) tells us all where the goverment/ science has always been and STILL is with getting the long term key to dealing with / living with covid.
It's not been there to date hence the doubters, but us humans are clever and always get there in the end. In an ideal world you spend the money and time on only those that need it, not everyone as there is a hec of a lot of us! Only one way to find that our and measure it...Antibodies...fact!

 "this government can never be trusted"
We're not getting a new one but the next thing to that, a new PM.
Whoever it is, first test will probably be how to deal with the latest covid wave and overcouded hospitals. As I say it will be a good thing to do, but maybe an even better polical thing to do! .... Britten leading the way with great Brittish tech to "Test the Nation"!.. .... watch the space is all I'm saying. ..have good weekends all.

It is where, has been, still is a but much less lies the problem.
It's total common sense and why our, and other Goverments invested at the start of covid in...
You get an illness, your body does its thing (Antibodies) and then your body knows how to fight it so you don't get it again. ...got those antibodies, whoop! You are sorted, off ya go to your normal life. It dose generally and did at the time make sense .....
Unfortunately in covid terms not the case,! This, only known after lots of data and time which is what caused all the problems for Mr Hand**** and ABDX.
But now (not 100% but close) we know antibodies = good, level 1 to 10, under 5 = not good (can't remember but something like 68% more likely to end up in hospital with covid)
Score 7/8/9/10 should be good until next years antibody check.. info well in my view worth KNOWING for each and everyone of us.
£2/3 per person check vs over loaded hospitals, massive backlog of major and minor operations, bad press, expense of vaccinating everyone to make sure you get the 5/10% that truly need it.

It does make sense but it might just come down to a political thing. Hospitals getting overloaded, new PM, UK manufacturer up in the North (leveling up tick!) let's send everyone a test, look how great this new goverment is....thing.
