Paraytec’s link with GlaxoSmithKline and Astra Zeneca could be an open door regarding our small box of magic.

GSK, AstraZeneca in Talks to Help U.K. Government on Virus Tests

“Our pharmaceutical giants like AstraZeneca and GSK, which have no great history in diagnostics, are now working with our world-leading, but small, diagnostics companies to build a British diagnostics industry at scale,” Han**** said.

Paraytec-
Research and Collaborations
We are working with a variety of partners from complementary areas of industrial analysis and medical diagnostics, in order to broaden the range of applications that our intellectual property can be used in. These applications include developing instruments for the detection of a range of health conditions, such as viruses, pathogens and cancers.

Excellent find.

And here is the problem with them over and over..

The research team, which included one researcher who works with AstraZeneca, interviewed staff and found that testing protocol adherence was poor, with just 8.6% of staff achieving more than 75% adherence to protocol and 25.3% achieving more than or equal to 50%.

They are not tested in real world conditions. They need ‘professional use’ to work otherwise they are cr@p.

Border officials finding '100 fake Covid test certificates a day'

Border officials are taking passengers' Covid documentation at 'face value' as they have no way of verifying negative tests

New ‘triple mutant’ Covid variant emerges in India as cases soar.

Next, UKHSA will be tasked to prevent external threats to health, deploying the full might of our analytic and genomic capability, on infectious diseases; holding responsibility for our health security capabilities at Porton Down and Colindale and elsewhere; preparing for and preventing external threats to health – like bioterrorism.
In all, helping to cast a protective shield over the nation’s health.
Third, UKHSA will respond to the threats we face with speed and scale, and these are critical. As we saw at the start of last year, when a new pathogen mutates, it can spread dangerously fast.
Even after years without a new major public health threat, UKHSA must be ready. Not just to do the science – but then to respond at unbelievable pace.
This is what NHS Test and Trace has done. And this is what we’ve learned from the vaccine programme too.
The challenge, and it is a genuinely difficult thing to pull off, is for the institution to stand in readiness, and be able to scale up quickly.
So it must plan, it must prevent and it must respond. UKHSA must be ready.

Come see Paraytec!

I think this post on AVCT sums up current circumstances perfectly.

“This morning I collected the Chinese test from Boots. The pharmacist was at pains to tell me that the instructions were all in the box and that they were not allowed to advise how to use them except for not more than twice a week. Very much now a “home use” test then?
So no professional advice or supervision seems to be the norm for the test which as we know was only validated for professional use.
Should be good for our “professional” use too!!”

Keep wearing your masks and keep your distance! Wave 3 is inevitable!

I don’t think he was trying to undermine AVCT, just point out that AVCT’s test is for infectious individuals as per their RNS, he was stating the need for discovering infected individuals yet to become infectious because those people will absolutely become infectious yet happily go about their business thinking they are not, they will be a ticking time bomb, they will be missed by tests such as AVCT’s. Our aim here is to tackle the more difficult side of testing to get ahead of the virus rather than chasing it.

Yes, I agree, there are bigger but these are global too. Surely companies that already produce Actipix tech are in a position to immediately deliver?

Don’t Paraytec already have that with Malvern and Pion?

If Chamberlin are to become the manufacturer, the point of sale, point of updates and point of servicing (not saying they will as I have no idea!) for Trevor to have the influence to make the huge changes required he will need a huge holding in that company, but I highly doubt his holding will remain that large once it is all et up. (If this is the plan?).

Chamberlain could easily be set up to manufacture the test. We already have an historic deal with Malvern Panalytical to supply our specialist Acitipix tech who are based in Worcestershire and not a million miles away from Wolverhampton. I could see it working like a car manufacturer funnily enough, making some parts (the box for example?) and shipping in others and then assembled in one place. Interestingly Chamberlin’s outlook within their RNS stated ‘ The Company continues to explore additional opportunities for all business units, including non- traditional products and e-commerce.’ so tantalisingly e-commerce could mean data updating and blimey, servicing contract too?
Who knows? All guess work.

Ugh, AVCT always pops up on this board..

So.. AVCT?

Government proposals

The problem the government is aiming to solve

Consumers need to know that COVID-19 tests they buy are of satisfactory quality. This requires tests with sensitivity that is high enough to apply in ‘real world’ settings that provide accurate results and avoid spreading the virus.
Excluding self-test kits, there is currently no legal requirement available for independent validation of COVID-19 tests performance. Entry to the market is controlled by CE marking which is currently a self-declaration process for the performance of this type of test kit or equipment. This means performance is not independently verified ahead of sale.

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/private-coronavirus-covid-19-testing-validation/private-covid-19-testing-validation

Ummm, why have AVCT gone for professional use rather than self test?

No independent validation of its performance? Cough cough.. Surely if it is that good they would aim for an independent validation for self testing and increase their market potential in the Uk both now and the future?

Robust real world testing is coming because too many (75%) of current tests do not do what they claim to do. Funny that!

Ha! You ask him! However, if too embarrassed I would imagine he is referring to the tech used. Actipix, light, fluorescence, camera and reader.

Make our device as common as a lottery machine and the country need never lockdown again . Enter schools, pubs, clubs, footy matches etc etc knowing your safe.

A worldwide Covid-19 testing network is to be incorporated into Iata Travel Pass certification app.
European diagnostic services provider Unilabs will become one of the first major lab groups to be integrated into the app.
Unilabs will be able to securely upload test results in Iata Travel Pass, which are then checked against a global registry of national health requirements, to produce an ‘OK to Travel’ status.

Said it before and will say it again, a network of Paraytec’s tests with bolt on 5G data transfer offering incredible super speed for the NHS track and trace across all county’s via a super fast, super accurate test with the ability to test either an individual or mass scale/matrix/pooling with platform tech combined with its user friendly non clinical design would be a system up to the job of routinely screening the population, getting ahead of the virus and therefore protecting lives and livelihoods.

It would be an absolute travesty not to deploy this Next Gen Tech on a national scale which would offer a fast, accurate, robust, digitally connected defence against Covid and other pathogens.

This explains our place.

casajaluma, you are also questioning the integrity of both Professor Carl Smythe and the institution he works for, Sheffield University...

Vaccine-busting Covid variant a matter of ‘when, not if’, WHO expert warns
The disease is proving to be ‘ferocious’ and social distancing measures should not be relaxed

Mr Nabarro spoke out as immigration staff said officers at airports were seeing “thousands of fake pre-departure tests” carried by passengers trying to get into the UK.

Agree with most of what you say Wolves, except the ‘does not look good’ comment, it is quite the opposite with much other news to come in between. We know they are currently transferring the lab findings into a commercial product due to the Paraytec job advert based at Sheffield Uni, that short term contract was advertised to end in June. Each stage should add value but the biggy will be production/contracts. To progress further than development we need a precision engineering facility set up, so roll the dice... is this what is unfolding with Chamberlain?

Only the person with the button on their own account can make or lose themselves money and if that person listens to a BB to make their decisions rather than researching then blames everyone else?? I suggest that person stops investing/trading or a better description.. absolute gambling.
