Money where **** is!!

It’s an antigen LFT.. we haven’t had details if it’s antigen/antibody they’ve started to roll out..

I highly expect it to be innova that’s being rolled out??

“ INNOVA are providing Lateral flow test kits to support the UK Covid-19 testing strategy and to enable mass testing for C-19 through rapid testing and to supplement diagnostics capacity.”

Highly likely we’d get MHRA update before national roll-out!

Just lots of twitter ramping with little proof to back it up.. the usual suspects that #ODX for anything that states testing..

Anybody know why ones selling for £19 per other selling£20 per?

48 hours minimum.. not rapid testing.

Yes it’s awarded but do we know what % Omega will produce of them? Possibly we don’t and that’s why no RNS
