Antigen Testing27 Nov 2020 18:07
The big question is regarding the uk-rtc antibody tests. The deal was we would be churning out 200,000 tests pw in October, ramped up to 300,000 pw in November. We are now at the end of November and so far ODX has only received 250,000 tests. They have fallen well below the numbers that were projected.
This is no fault of Omega, the delays have come from the govt. It looks like they are now having a change of heart especially after the success in Liverpool. They are now pumping resources into ramping up rapid antigen testing and stepping up track and trace. Antibody testing seems to have taken a back seat.
I believe all is still well with the Govt deal, just that Omega will not be getting the numbers they forecasted. Once the second UK order comes in, the doors for selling abroad should open, and if Mologic can get approved then it's all systems go. But at the rate the company is moving, they are where they should be. With a Good RNS on Monday this should get moving, hopefully in the right direction.
