I have to confess I was a bit sceptical a few days ago and focused on the as I thought over reaction in share price drop...and not giving too much credit to the work on the Bio DARPA project work.
But a lots happened news wise since then to change my mind.
We, well I didn't know that the D3 dirty bomb hand held unit has been sold in over 20 countries.
A DARPA co funded project now in its 4th or 5th integration of design...designed to cost and a world first.
So Kromek do have 'form' of ground breaking design and innovation.
The Bio patho' detector if as I believe uses the Oxford Naopore tech. will be a world first and when fully developed used in every airport, com aircraft ,station, sports stadium, hospital, barracks,aircraft carrier, navel vessel...the demand will be hard to comprehend...sure there's risk....but as an investment case it's got my full attention.
New Equity Devoplements vid interview from yest?. Where Dr Arnub mentions towards the end that Kromek was chosen to bring together a consortium of UK tech companies to design and develop the new Bio Path detection unit.
As mentioned by Jim on the 'other' side...

Kromek don't have any Gene sequencing tech.
It's not their area of exp.
They must be using a 3rd parties tech. and packaging it into a sealed enclosure with fans, electronics, software, an air condencing system,
and all the other gubins to make it a comerical cert product.
Oxford Naopore' took 9-10 years to develop their
membrane electrical gene tech..
Kromek have produced a first prototype in 18 months.
Oxford Nanopore was founded in 2005 to develop a disruptive, electronic, single-molecule sensing system based on nanopore science. The first product, MinION, was introduced into early access in 2014 and made commercially available in 2015.
It might be these guys Gene sequencing tech which Kromek are using.....which would make it 100%British.....

Not seen this before..from a few months ago..

good discussion going here, ive been trying to understand the tech that Kromek are using here and think they must be using it unded licene from one of 3 American Gene Sequencing company's.Enabled thro' DARPA, but it's all reading between the lines for now.Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) officials are espousing the potential benefits of new technology to quickly address endemic, emerging and engineered pathogenic threats.The organization’s newest biotechnology funding opportunity, the Detect It with Gene Editing Technologies (DIGET) program, could help the Department of Defense maintain force readiness by informing rapid medical response to increase the standard of care for troops. It could also preserve geopolitical stability by preventing the spread of infectious disease from becoming a driver of conflict.“DARPA is pursuing the capability to detect and characterize any pathogen, regardless of when or where it emerges,” Renee Wegrzyn, the DIGET program manager, said. “There are three primary reasons that we think gene editing systems can help us realize that vision and they boil down to speed, accuracy, and precision.”
