It already is at a very high standard that can pass, better than ALL LFT’s due to Ct 37 which is slap bang in the middle range of PCR’s 35-40. They just want to make it the best it can be for extremely quick and easy transition to Covid mutations, early stage infection, Sepsis, cancer and any other pathogen or thing that can be labelled. The worst case scenario now is that they cannot improve on the specificity and therefore only catch most of the early stage Covid infections, Still way better than all LFT’s, also far quicker and due to the low sample required for a test it will do what it says in the tin in real world settings. It’s not just about Covid, the earlier the device can catch the onset of sepsis the better the patients chances. Happy for them to tweak further to make it the best they know it can be and therefore creating a broad range uses and also future proofing. If they get it right I fail to see how anyone could create an improved device with such speed, accuracy, flexibility and ease of use.
Actions and inactivity have consequences, handing over the ip to countries with zero experience or qualified experts in the field can only lead to disaster. Tell me something, would you accept a dose from Timbuktu imported in by the U.K. Government with zero quality and contamination control from Pfizer? How long before Chinese factories copy and mass produce inferior cheap versions? When can we purchase them on eBay? How long before key ingredients become neutralised by the virus due to cutting corners? Therefore, my belief stands. You don’t have to agree.
Anyway, moving on from your slip up, it isn’t going to happen beyond possibly vaccines (they will learn it’s a bad idea once these additional countries produce poor quality vaccines and kill 10’s of thousands of their people) for one simple reason, in one swoop it would end innovation and progression. Thousands of smaller companies around the world, like this one, like AVCT, like RMS rely on private funding/investment which would absolutely cease over night and completely kill the industry. Within years either a further strain or an entirely new pathogen could hit and these companies won’t be around to innovate and help resolve the situation. Beyond that, where would it end? Cancer is also a global killer, why stop at Covid? The world would look rather communist. If these governments really want to protect us via ensuring the poorer nations also have an array of medical equipment and vaccines then spend the money otherwise there is little incentive to create products in the first place.
Yep, there is another 10 million shares possible according to the last half year report. Now I wonder who will acquire the majority of those.
Share Capital
Authorised 48,577,965 ordinary shares of 2pence
(30th September 2019 33,645,000
31st March 2020 : 37, 915,565)
So the trolls I believe are happily helping TB prior to his next move.
Well... you are still spending day after day after day knocking everything to do with this company valued at a piddly £16m which has a superb, fast and accurate future proof pathogen test and also further width such as sepsis and cancer testing in the pipeline (Covid already surpassed MHRA standards)
I really would pay more attention to that other golden share of yours which spends more money than it makes and valued at over half a billion.

FFCI - Fluid-Flow Cell-Imaging
We are developing FFCI for the detection of cancer cells in body fluids, such as for the detection of bladder cancer using urine samples. Our mission is to devise a simple test (either as a stand-alone test or in conjunction with filter isolation using our Cellexia filters) that is cheap enough to be used in population screening of high risk individuals, as well as for monitoring of existing cancers such as bladder cancer, and also applicable to other cancers based on blood screening. Fluid Flow Cell-Imaging (even in conjunction with chromic stains) is non-destructive, providing the option of post-hoc analysis of isolated cells by molecular techniques such as PCR, RTPCR, genomics and RNAseq and single cell technologies.

Exactly! generation, detection, manipulation, emission, transmission, modulation, processing, switching, amplification, and sensing of light!
It’s all about light, it is the the fastest thing in the universe, label what you want to see, use an award winning microscope and boom!
Absolutely! However, it looks like we may go one better due to the well thought out design targeting only whole virus particles unlike PCR which also catch dead virus fragments and actually causes many false positives, known only by the fact positive cases continue to test positive even weeks after making full recoveries. PCR cannot distinguish whether the virus in the patient is alive or dead. If there are whole virus particles lit up than the person is currently infected (maybe a figure per radius might be worked on in the future as to the length of time they have been infected and what infectious stage they are at predicting how long they are expected to remain isolated for?) if there are no virus particles than they are not infected. An additional test alongside could look for those broken particles to confirm you were infected but no longer infectious.
Doubt it unless this apparent sovereign test at least matches or beats PCR standards. Countries require travellers to be Covid free to allow entry which PCR is the current Gold Standard for promising just that, can’t reduce testing standards when mutations have already proven to be able to enter a country during a travel ban and lockdown bypassing the highest Gold Standard, that would be political and economic suicide risking people’s lives and livelyhoods and the vaccination program. Never going to happen.
