Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
The versatility of Affimers has long since been established. The biggest hurdle has been finding a stage large enough to demonstrate their talents. We’re very close to seeing them enter stage right...
Like a dude with a 9 incher, he doesn’t need to brag about what he’s got - word will get out sooner or later and then he just has to sit back and play it cool!
Just reading their RNS. It would appear they’ve change tac wrt their LFT:
“The Company expects to launch its LFT in Q2 2021, slightly later than planned as it has taken the strategic decision to develop a next generation of LFT to detect the neutralizing antibodies generated by successful immunisation and, therefore, to assist in monitoring the effectiveness of future vaccines 3. The Company believes this exemplifies how it can extend the revenue horizon for COVID-19 as the demand for testing continues to evolve.”
I think that’s a wise move. No point trying to compete so they might as well take a novel approach. No doubt our affimer based LFT will be able to pivot to demand as and when it occurs. Either way, the demand will be there for any and all tests. I wish them luck.
Lots of chat on the news this morning about smartphone apps and vaccine / test passports. CEO of Heathrow mentioned the system must allow for multiple different platforms to be accepted.
Now I can’t for a second imagine hoards of people standing outside a stadium / club / airport waiting for the test result they performed on the spot. It’s simply not viable.
So what does it matter whether it’s 5-10 minutes or 10-20 if you won’t leave the house without a negative result? Of course, this allows the system to be cheated but nothing is completely fail safe.
And as I mentioned in a previous post to a deramper, the more people who cheat the test, the more chance of spreading the virus and the longer we have to deal with this pandemic. An unfortunate upside to a company gaining revenue from the sale of LFTs...
