Ruling out S on an unscientific, not to say arbitary, basis smacks of asking for legal action and I hope Avacta is up for it if that proves to be the case. However, the suggestion seems a little too outlandish for me to believe!

Sickened by the snorting of Sir John Bell when mentioning onshoring Chinese tests. Is this another snout in the trough? He certainly fought hard to defend his inadequate PD test in the face of Avactas superiority to all other tests and yet failing to get past Pd. How does one raise this as a concern when the BBC is so ill informed and seemingly oblivious to what is going on with domestic test manufacturers?

An item on the news the other night discussed how care home staff who refused to be vaccinated would be leaving their jobs shortly, it then mentioned the very considerable amount of work needed for one trained individual to give staff and residents brain tickler LFD tests twice a week and more. How unnecessary and wastefull thought I, if only AffiDX was availble with HUA a majority of folk could I suspect easily test themselves with a painless easy to perform test with near PCR Sensitivity. What on earth is this Government playing at? I conclude it must be more than incompetence, whats needed is to call it out via our MPs.

"...both antigens .. " but now we know through validation that using Affimers we dont need both to achieve 100% Specificity/ Sensitivity at ct28. Game set and match I think.

One would hope that the Avacta team is broadcasting its opinion loudly that 96% Sensitivity at CT <= 25 is p*ss poor. DAM seem to think its bl**dy marvellous!

So you would have us believe perhaps that the delays to BAMS, which allowed PCR interests to establish and benefit massively were perhaps just one of those things, that LFT delays are just the way it is for pharma. Money is involved here, big, big money, PCR contracts, LFT contracts, Cancer contracts and it is naive to think that big business will just roll over and let an upstart small business take the spoils without a fight. Just saying. I am old enought to remember the solid gold cutlery service presented to a Saudi Prince to grease the wheels of a certain BAES Contract for Fighter Jets and more. Avacta needs to get itself on a war footing because whether it realises it or not there are those who are not cheering it on. Not that I'm paranoid you understand.

There is a ...

I suggest all invested folk write to their MP asking why a British Company that has developed Probably the Best LFT in the world using British Technology, British IP developed here in the UK which been subject to clinical validated both in the UK and abroad been prevented from selling its products in the UK? Their is a concern amoungst the public that this is more than gross incompetence on the part of the Government and mirrors the corruption that has recently been cited in respect of PPE sales.

New tech delays unlikely to apply in the context of an LFT known to work and known to be the most accurate in the world unless brown envelopes involved. The sooner than Comparitve Study of LFT performance hits the streets the better but then again some large companies would likely prefer that dosent happen so there could be a flurry of brown envelopes in that respect as well. Nowone will ever convince me that BAMS delays didnt suffer that fate, just my opinion ...

"...wasnt worthwhile". Just saying subsequently AS said its going to be ongoing for longer than he expected. Presumably he meant at scale for longed than expected. Dont think all is lost if we dont make year end but it would be disappointing and to my mind indicate that someones had it in for us.

Maybe not the cheapest. Test providers mandated to use tests with validated Sensitivity >= 97% and open to fines if they do not. So buckle up, Avacta meets that criteria but how many others able to put validated data on the table. Not that many Im thinking.

I ask because I had in mind 60% usi g 95% two sided confidence intervals. Which to me sounded laughable - perhaps Ive misunderstood something?

Ice, can you tell me where you have gotten your 97% figure from please.

Just read there was no email. Some folks should find something more productive to do than spout rubbish.

Will someone who received todays email from Avacta Diagnostics post it here please. Seems I missed it. Thanks.

Not that long ago they were all sat waiting and it turned out the wrong form had been submitted as I recollect ....

Nothing to do with Medusa 19 except they are the Customer and I hope they are making some noise about the wait.

Only if Medusa 19 gets its finger out of its proverbial and gets on with it. How hard can this be. Need to get Spain pushing for home tests.

Yes AS was pleased with the LFD product and it just so happens its probably the Best In the World. If AVA 6000 goes the same way there will be a lot of folk cheering here.

Any hoo lets hope HUA lands tomorrow, that would put the cat amoungst the pigeons.
