No, that was in reference to aliens landing. Poor Carl has been getting non stop grief from non Covid believers.

Nope. His response was 25mins ago when the market was closed.

Yup, another extremely positive I believe in the tech I produced tweet from Carl minutes ago.

Give us an update!!!

Reminds me of GKP in the early days at sub 20p many many moons ago. God I hope it’s the same outcome!

@lambeth_council if you’re going to ask the entire borough to test for Covid, increase the testing capacity. Queued for 2 hours this morning and still no test as had to leave the queue to go to work...

Your just going to attract more nonsense. :-# The share will do whatever it’s going to do when it’s ready to do it. Lets wait and see what that is.

Plenary of time to spread it too...

Prof Carl Smythe, who leads the University of She?eld team, commented, "The analytical sensitivity achieved in these latest set of tests is very good news indeed. Having the capability to detect a few hundred viral copies per swab means that this test - which does not need to be located in a specialised laboratory or operated by trained laboratory personnel - has the potential to compete very favourably with expensive centralised systems requiring two-day turnaround times."

Chaos as everyone in 2 London boroughs is told to get a Covid test but slots get fully booked and huge queues form

There have been chaotic scenes after around 650,000 people who live or work in Wandsworth and Lambeth were told to urgently get a Covid test.

Wandsworth Council, meanwhile, said that slots for in person tests are currently fully booked.

Vaccines are believed to be less effective against the South African variant so it is a race against time to find any other people who are infected with that strain.
But this is being hampered by the sheer number of people who need to be tested, with more than 650,000 people living in the two boroughs.

Journalist Becca Taylor tweeted: “Live in Wandsworth so have booked a surge test… earliest slots were next Wednesday, which gives me plenty of time to catch it I guess?”

Rapid lateral flow device (LFD) tests are also widely available, and everyone in the country is being asked to take these twice a week, but they can only determine positivity for Covid-19, not the specific variant.

This is why residents in these areas are being asked to do PCR tests.

Ah, Paraytec’s Platform technology – can potentially be used to detect multiple virus targets.

SOUTH AFRICAN COVID-19 VARIANT FOUND IN ROTHERHITHE

It is unclear if the Rotherhithe case is related to the Lambeth and Wandsworth cluster.

Last week 2,000 families around South Bermondsey were urged to get tests after a case of the South African variant was found in the area.

Importance of test accuracy

At least one of dozens of cases in the “significant” cluster is believed to be linked to travel into Britain.

Importance of speed

Jim Gartland said he had to leave the queue after waiting over 45 minutes for a test.

On a rare occasion I will agree with you.

It will go up, down and sideways.. continually, always one, two or all three of these movements every day the market is open.

I am right.

Facts Goldtrig? Didn’t you post on AVCT this morning regarding the South African Strain (known as 20H/501Y.V2 or B.1.351) using a link as evidence which made absolutely no reference or relevance to it to make your point?

I see Avacta Group has announced that the AffiDX SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen lateral flow test detects the dominant new variants of the coronavirus, known as the B117, or ‘Kent’, variant, and the D614G variant, as well as the original strain?

Care to enlighten us?

Totally agree. antigen tests are not as sensitive as a PCR test which can pick up minuscule amounts of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 and therefore relying on quick antigen tests will never end the cycle of a twice monthly mutating virus as it will always have many places to hide.

Blimey! Wait a minute, RNS’s and the Professor tweets show that BRH’s test can compete with PCR testing, down to just finding just 100 particles in a 0.1 ml sample yet do it dramatically quicker, cheaper, future proof platform tech and in a extremely user friendly non clinical way.

Who would want such a crap system that does everything the world desperately needs yet does not have! Pfff.

A reliable test for Covid-19?

We can see as few as one hundred virus particles.

ONE HUNDRED.

That’s pre-symptomatic territory, methinks.

Me is smiling! Well done Carl and Paraytec!

Boom!

And please, save the nonsense of why Trevor is still holding 75% of his shares.

Being a glass half full person myself, all I see is a very proud company of excellence altering its language from ‘we are’ to ‘we have’. I’m really looking forward to hearing just how brilliant this tech is and watching how the test will become an important cog of many required globally simply because it actually does what it says it does and it does it so reliably well.

Sounds like it is there..

Paraytec on Twitter this afternoon.

Did you know?

We designed a portable test, which can generate a result in a matter of minutes from a swab provided at the test location and which requires no specialist skills for its operation.

I don’t do deramping, I am having an honest conversation with you. 1 in 30 missed positives! Not great is it! 3/4 of LFT’s will soon disappear and you will take up some DIY slack for sure IF your test is a huge improvement on current tests. But you are not going to be ‘the test’, no test is going to be THE test because the government have stated they need a RANGE.

I don’t have to prove anything, I couldn’t give a monkeys about AVCT. What I do know is that to end the pandemic we have to find all positive cases extremely quickly, a test that has the potential to miss so many positive cases and ultimately lead to death and harm will not last long even if it fills gap waiting for quality to emerge and surpass it.
