Have any tech transfers come to completion up to now?
Any thoughts on ODX producing antigen or antibody tests for Novacyt in the near future?
Ad4you, sounds like a complete nightmare to me!!
Like has been said on this forum a 25 second test is pretty pointless for passengers as they are generally waiting over 2 hours for a long haul flight. The only benefit I can see is for the crew of an aircraft, where a quick result can enable a standby crew to take over at short notice!!
Novacyt is on the cusp of launching an antigen test with a gold standard sensitivity and specificity to market. Let’s hope demand outstrips sales upon launch of this product.
I am still of the opinion that if sales exceed one million a week then ODX maybe in the frame to expand production from their Alba site, just my opinion but makes sense. Have a nice weekend:)
Over the last few weeks I have been gleaning figures on the rising number of the Indian variants in the U.K.
The reporting is twofold, it displays the importance for one of Novacyt ability to respond with with its products and expertise to control and save lives. Not only this but as we know there is a growing number of long COVID sufferers that can affect the health long term of people. This additional escalation can also put a further strain on our struggling health system.
The second reason is my utter dismay at the policies of border control into this country! The isolation on entry to the U.K. is at best fragmented with only certain countries put to the hotel quarantine on arrival. It’s not good enough when we who have social responsibilities followed the lockdown rules to get life back to normal. Due to the inconsistencies of containing the virus at borders, here we are with risk of further restrictions when we have gone through so much!!
Boris states that it is only recently the Indian variant has become a VOC? Just after local elections!!!
Here is a link from the times for those that have not seen it.

GM and his team will have to get onto this as we are in an instant world. He just needs to match it soon!!
I can’t comment on that apart from the fact it’s a fast result. Can we match or beat that?
Here’s some Canary Global info.

Ad4you, well done, I’ve also been posting Indian variant numbers for the last few weeks. 1723 cases now!!!
Why the fcuk can’t the government see what we see and act sooner. This could really fcuk us if we don’t mass test and trace and isolate. Boris, the bucket of sand is not working!!!
What’s causing the sudden upswing anyone?
Stampee, remind us all what happened on Oct 26th? Cheers :)
Looks like the cash value will be more than the SP if this decline continues!!! Need sales and lots of.
Exactly, extra care would be taken opening a door next to a Bentley. The guy with the Bentley has less chance of a scratch than a guy with a Ford. He would be safer from incident!!!
Ref Torr, if he pulls off a deal with P2F to sell masks of any quantity, he has my full support. He’s found an opportunity that could progress to bigger things but also raise awareness of Pro-Larva. Also save lives in a country desperate for protection. He may have just found a route to market that opens many doors. It’s astute, forward thinking so doff my cap to a man that grabs an opportunity like this.
Lol, I concur. I feel we will have suitable news soon ref antigen LFT developments etc.
Vanv. Ascendancy;)
Kaeren, absolutely, testing times!!!
Ref the Indian variant, weeks ago it was quite a search to glean figures and information. It’s now heading to the front pages!! If some of us knew the dangers, why is reactance so slow and why not prevention for a change that’s organised and methodical!! Until that happens it’s a lottery out there regards variants!!!
Ponpos, pompous, preposterous?
Troublesome, my sympathies to you, in that scenario the only maps that work are ones with shops on:)
One of my tankards on leaving a squadron in the RAF was inscribed Member of the mushroom growers appreciation society. Kept in the dark and fed bovine crap. Basically the cleaners on the base knew of a practice war happening before we did!!
Us poor peasants will always be mushrooms unfortunately.
