So the the Test results produced were actually the positive ones all had wished for.
“Samples are being processed and subjected to analysis using Paraytec's photonics-based detection system. The average time to acquire test results is currently less than 120 seconds, a market-leading value. The laboratory trials data confirm the performance of Paraytec's photonics-based test in identifying patients with an infectious viral load within the acceptable range specified by MHRA.”
The tests are actually aimed to be far better than the PCR Test and to pick up on the infectious virons which the PCR test misses and hence why the PCR test is not 100% infallible and misses some asymptomatic Covid19
“Paraytec has thus adopted an additional comparator test developed by the University of Sheffield, to verify the presence of intact virus particles. This involves ultracentrifugation and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy to independently verify the presence of virions in clinical samples.”
The Test Results avail themselves to Matrix testing of the masses also.
“The team believes that the high speed and high sensitivity of its test may enable the undertaking of multiplexed "matrix" testing. Matrix testing combines samples from multiple people for simultaneous analysis, such that 20 parallel tests can yield individual results for up to one hundred people. Such a test would be very helpful to the successful operation of large events, like sports or music festivals.
In parallel it has been optimising its instrumentation to get to an industry leading standard
“In parallel to the sample processing described above, the Paraytec team has been using isolated lab-grown virus to optimise the operational sensitivity of its instrument for the detection of pre-symptomatic and early-stage symptomatic virus levels. It believes it will be able to confirm, within a period of four weeks, a lower limit of detection of 1,000 virions per millilitre of sample, also a market-leading value.”
Preparing Data for Regulators etc
“Paraytec will complete additional analysis of samples in the clinical pipeline in order to acquire robust statistical data and prepare the detailed technical specification required by regulators and producers.”
Preparing data to gain a CE (Certification)
“Paraytec will now progress to a prospective clinical validation with a larger number of patient samples and seek to obtain a CE mark for the test”
Of Relavance to Detecting Sepsis also
“Importantly, the Paraytec team is also exploring its use for rapid detection and identification of bacterial and viral pathogens present in patients with sepsis, a global killer of over 11 million people per year.”
It's a good job BRH got positive results otherwise the share price might actually have gone up.
Incredibly over 30% down !!
Only on Aim does this sort of thing happen.
