"We believe that the technical risk of developing a COVID-19 diagnostic is significantly reduced now that we have a large number Affimer reagents to work with, and our objective is to have a saliva test ready for production as early as possible in the summer. This individual opportunity is significant; there will be a medium-term need for very high volume COVID-19 antigen testing to support the global process of exiting lockdown and getting healthy people back to work. There will also be a long-term need for antigen testing as the disease will remain in some societies for many years. Outside of this opportunity which has raised the profile of the Affimer platform dramatically, there remains significant commercial potential for Affimer diagnostics to deliver long term sustainable revenues."
