Energy it tells you the companies on the right hand side but this site only shows approved tests in the search so AVCT aren't even part of the 8, these are the 8: (but note apart from one Chinese test that is loosely described as non invasive and one saliva, they're mainly nasopharyngeal or stool:
AVCT still in the "pipeline list"

I'm currently stockpiling the Innova tests, colouring all the backs in and once I have enough, intend to make a self portrait of Sir Al in his favorite shumper. I'll be waiting like a little fanboy to present it to him as he enters the gates of Buckingham palace for his knighthood.

Wonder how often we will hear the opposite. Negative LFT checked against PCR which comes back positive but actually was post infectious and poor sod has had to isolate when they aren’t infectious.
That’s the one Deeks doesn’t want anyone to understand or promote!

Such a shame xviolet posted this after MatttDamooon got his ban :( we’d have needed at least 4 buckets of popcorn!
Just a second.....I smell something....must be BS.
Your imaginary friend did NOT get told to stop taking LFTs by PHE.
This is like one of those murder shows where the suspect is so guilty, every time they get busted with some hard evidence the story changed to dig a deeper hole!
Did Boris also call round to your friends for a quick chat on some personal input into the travel traffic light system advice? Sounds like being such a unique case she’s getting a lot of govt attention JOKER

Same here Visain I ordered a box this week and decided to do one today for “research purposes”.
The 10 page booklet and box that had more pieces than a Lego kit not great start.
Then stood in the mirror staring at myself retching, gagging, eyes watering.....well it’s no wonder Innovas real world S&S is sh*t. Who in their right mind would do that to themselves twice a week properly voluntarily (ie unsupervised just do a quick tickle instead) never mind their own kids!

Can’t wait for a superior test that is much more pleasant to perform to be rolled out ????. Although I do wonder if given demand > supply Innova will remain as the test for “lower risk” at home testing and the superior tests to be used in the “higher risk” settings like hospitals/stadiums/airports until manufacturing capacity can meet demand (if that’s ever possible)

Spot on. And at this price pretty much nobody can moan about “I’m underwater so can’t just sell out” given the regular moaners will be in good profit.
There’s a risk - it’s Aim - if it’s too risky or you’re overexposed and makes you “nervous” then take your profit and run you can sleep at night then.
If you don’t like how AS operates or are sick of “delays” sell the f up and move along. Leave us all to enjoy the ride without having to listen to the constant bashing of a company that has achieved AN INCREDIBLE amount in 12 months!

Gemstar - need to do some more research. Contract published yesterday it ENDED in March!!!!

Aside from the fact there is a whole world outside the UK with a hell of a lot more people and in a lot more precarious COVID positions right now.....demand will outstrip supply FACT.
But to come back to your repeated point on UK demand Wyndrum which you seem to be fixated on.
THE INNOVA AWARD WAS OUTSIDE OF THE UK's £8BN DPS FOR LATERAL FLOW TESTS!!! WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU!? £8bn is up for grabs and it's clearly not going to Innova. Not many others left in the mixer for it is there.

Really really simply. If what we were looking to achieve was easy, someone would have done it already. Low and behold.....they haven't! It's all been cheap knock offs that are getting found out for what they really are. Apple weren't first to the mobile phone party but christ aren't they now the one most people can't go without.

When you add the reliance on so many the third parties, A number of which are mildly incompetent. Then a virus which nobody understands properly and goalposts being moved left right and centre, you can see how timelines have slipped.
Don’t get me wrong I think AS makes a rod for his own back at times but look at all the negative LFT press. For Avct to emerge out of this unscathed, with a top quality test the likes of Deeks can’t tear to bits (because there is plenty of hard numbers behind it) and Affimer brand well and truly in tact. Is that not worth waiting for?

Wydrum you claim to be balanced but you are full of carp sometimes.
The latest Innova award was outside of the DPS. So what’s that £8bn DPS tender there for, which we know Innova don’t qualify for!? We haven’t missed the UK boat at all.
It’s always been made clear too that Europe was a focus for AS. Europe is a mess - demand there will be huge.
CV is being done using clinical samples not artificial which the up side is that reduces the disparity between CV S&S and real world S&S which is exactly what we see with Innova and the other test. Real world S&S is carp. This is why AS wasn’t happy with PD using artificial samples.
Down side to doing this is it relies on real people with the right viral load who have to agree to be part of the CV. So it takes longer.
AS could have CE marked on the initial 56 samples but he hasn’t.
Does that suggest to you the boat has been missed anywhere??!?

It’s not about hurrying out a LFT it’s about building the foundations for the Affimer platform which is so much bigger than LFTs.
The knock on implications of ending up embroiled in this Innova defamation would have been catastrophic.
As the phrase goes - you can’t rush perfection!

“If Avct released the LFT last summer and BAMS in June as announced in company RNS's we would already be trading at £20/share with the majority of the imminent £8 billion to come !”

So so so so so short sighted. Probably time for you to find a different investment.

Templar you’re full of carp.
Innovas part in this current pandemic stops very very soon. They will also play NO part in the build out of a domestic top class diagnostics industry here in the UK, which the govt have very clearly started to make noise about.
Innova have done a great job at capitalising on large sums of the UKs money and fair play to them. However, their reputation is done. Just like Excalibur and the ventilator scandal.
£4bn of the Uks money is going to look very very very very small indeed compared to the future global revenues from not just LFTs but also diagnostics products for years to come.
This is where so many, including you clearly, have missed the point. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly as we own the IP to these products.
Avct is affimers not LFTs. A carp test would damage the reputation of a product which has been shown to have multiple versatile applications - look at the deals Avct have signed recently nearly all non COViD related.
Too many impatient 5000% rises in a day type on here.
It’s clear what the goal is here and AS is doing it the right way - thoroughly. He sees what Potential Avct has and cannot jeapordise the image of his company to satisfy some impatient PIs simples.
Ps - my rule is if you mention the house you go in the bin.
See ya!

Think when you look at what Avct has achieved in the last 12 months I wouldn’t begrudge AS a spot on the shortlist. Shame too many people with binary tunnel vision on the LFT!!!

Energy that’s not quite true. Here’s the new traffic light system, as it stands anyone going on holiday will need to take min of 1 PCR test on return regardless. That’s how they are going to try monitor for variants.
BUT the cost of that to travellers will be ridiculous so I can’t see it working long term. They’ll have to cut the costs. Travel industry will lobby against it - easyjet already are. £50 flight to Spain but you need a £120 PCR test on return - no thanks!
All well and good when you’re off on a £10k Maldives trip but for the masses that £120 a huge extra cost to your holiday which won’t be sustainable.

“How the traffic light system will work:

Green: Passengers will not need to quarantine on return, but must take a pre-departure test (the type is unspecified), as well as a PCR test on return to the UK
Amber: Travellers will need to quarantine for 10 days, as well as taking a pre-departure test and two PCR tests
Red: Passengers will have to pay for a 10-day stay in a managed quarantine hotel, as well as a pre-departure test and two PCR tests”

Hants. The other advantage AVCT have is their product will be used by the general public as intended. Anterior nasal will allow for sampling to be done correctly and you would hope that narrows the divergence between clinical and real world figures.
Innova on the other hand, a brain tickler that nobody wants to tickle their own brains with was always going to underperform in the real world when people aren’t sampling correctly.
If Avct can produce 97/100 for anterior nasal at Ct 22-26 in large scale CV, that is superb.
Best of all - they will have a ton of data to back it up! Not some random fudged numbers that don’t reflect reality.
Still think that is why AS went for his own CV - couldn’t risk PD using their frozen artificial samples

Hmmm Ben - We can live in hope but I think this is sufficiently vague enough for him to squirm out of your assumption. He is the king of vagaries. Hope I am proved wrong and POW's 35% input into the costs makes it "affordable" but I don't know. Can see him announcing a fund raise for "working capital" i.e. his fat salary because they used this cash to fund the drill programme.
I agree Kai - bottom drawer time. It can't get much lower surely, can it?
"The Fundraise will significantly bolster the Company's ability to continue uninterrupted with work on its projects during the current uncertainty and unpredictability associated with COVID-19 and to advance the project funding initiatives as well as complete technical study work for the Blyvoor Gold Tailings Project and also expanded follow-up work on the Haneti nickel exploration programme"

SirG I guess the only other option to help fund it would be if warrants are exercised but most are "out of the money" with current SP at 1.5p.
· In addition to the Financing Warrants, the Company currently has 69,066,666 warrants outstanding, including 10 million held by Power Metal Resources plc (LON: POW) exercisable at 1.25p, 5.2 million held by participants in the October 2019 fundraise exercisable at 1.50p, 17.2 million warrants held by participants in the March 2020 fundraise exercisable at 2p per warrant, and 36,666,666 warrants held by participants in the June 2020 fundraise exercisable at 3p per warrant;

· Should all 117,066,666 warrants (including Financing Warrants) be exercised, the Company would receive an additional £3,087,000 in cash inflow which would provide a significant additional cash runway for the Company;
