Goldtrig,

I trust the way they presented the diagnostics aspect. And how you find the information, much more elaborated and easier to see. It is much user friendlier as I think they expect an influx of visitors. IMHO.

And I am looking forward to news on their Neutralising Therapy, especially now that Pfizer and Astrazeneca seem to have issues lately and Merk failed to deliver one.

"Avacta was able to generate Affimer binders to the SARS-CoV-2 virus within just four weeks of receiving the viral protein, and on 18 June 2020 we announced that collaborative work with the Centre for Virus Research at the University of Glasgow had shown these Affimer proteins prevent infection of human cells by a SARS-CoV-2 model virus, and therefore provide a potential therapy for COVID-19 infection. Work is continuing to further study the way in which the proteins prevent infection and on 29th July we announced an expansion of our partnership with Daewoong Pharmaceutical to to develop stem cell therapies for COVID-19 and future pandemic diseases".

If anyone has any doubt on avacta dominating the LFT Covid identification efforts here we have a quote from AVACTA:

"We will continue to monitor the performance of the Affimer reagents with future dominant variants as they become available to us. Since the Affimer reagents we use in Avacta’s range of SARS-CoV-2 tests do not bind in the region of the spike protein where the dominant mutations appear, we do not anticipate that the performance of the tests will be affected.

Now that we have developed a robust lateral flow test architecture, we can easily insert Affimer reagents that that can be very rapidly developed for new variants if necessary, and indeed in response to any other future pandemic virus".

One has to love the Affimers technology..those little wonderful beauties!! They damn work!!

Hey, the website has changed on the diagnostics part.. Anyone seen it?

COVID-19 501. V2 variant can ‘break through’ Pfizer vaccine, Israeli study says.

Now, what we need is to use our LFT to pick up this variant, which I doubt it won't. I am sure Sir Al's team is on the ball.

Monarch,

Those were exactly my thoughts. RBW will have different rations then a well established miner; expenses, for starters, should be way more than what their output is as costs for machinery and infrastructure will dominate their budget at the early stages.

As you pointed out, the focus is on NPV and future rare earth prices when the EV revolution will really start taking place. My research was based on that and the rest was my views on the BoD and how they conduct themselves, geopolitical aspects (is it a safe region) and the local infrastructure around the mine as well as possible future demand for the mined minerals.

Then, buy what I am confortable to invest and, as the mine progresses, buy more.

My wife wanted a food mixer for Christmas. So I went on a research drive on what to buy as I wanted to treat her with the best quality I could find. There were so many to choose from; from various price ranges, but one thing sprung to mind immediately before I went into my quest and that was, I don’t want cheap Chinese stuff. Why? Because I wanted first top quality ( something that would last ). Second, I wanted to give jobs either to British or European workers. I wanted a 100% European product for a change. I found it, and it cost me, but the moment I held the product in my hands I said...wow, it is heavy and robbist and doesn’t look cheap at all and the free warranty you guess? 25 years!! French made Magimix!!
Why am I telling you this? Well, if you want a “cheap and tearful” LFT you get what you paid for. But if you want quality the world will soon have a British-designed and made LFT. IF you want to see what the Chinese have sold the desperate world see below.

Respirators:
NPPTL has recently received new information from stakeholders across the United States regarding products from China claiming to meet GB2626 and EN149. Assessment results confirm that some of these products have poor filter efficiency and are of poor quality.
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/respirators/testing/NonNIOSH.html

Chinese Vaccine:
The phrase "Made in China" has a generally negative reputation due to the poor quality of products made in the country.Towing a similar line, Chinese vaccines against COVID-19 are proving ineffective.No one thought that the inferior quality of Chinese vaccines would end people's. lives.https://www.newsweek.com/chinese-made-covid-19-vaccines-cause-international-concern-opinion-1575531

Chinese Pharma counterfeits:
In the last 20 years, Beijing has turned healthcare into a national priority. But the country's history of counterfeit drugs and weak regulation casts a lingering shadow. The topic is particularly pertinent now, with Beijing's COVID-19 vaccine diplomacy in full swing.

Masks and test kits:
The European Commission said on Thursday it has suspended the delivery of 10 million Chinese masks to member states and the United Kingdom after two countries complained about the poor quality of the batches they received.

xviolet,

I guess those Chinese Innova test that gave 3 times positive results but the PCR said "NO", should have fortune cookies attached to them as back up. I suggest, if you can, tell your friend to send feedback to the government (copying the Daily Mail possibly) so that they don't spend out tax payers money on some Chinese crap which doesn't even provide a fortune cookie bonus attached (fle of chaage).

Tripoddp, good for you.

Crocqman,

Thank you for your time replying. I guess no one else experienced that. The guy I spoke on the phone emailed his collegue to get further explanation and will get back to me.

All the best and thank you for your comments again.

Sorry for the change of subject, but I was wondering if anyone here has received a letter from Barclays this week ref exceeding the years' tax allowance? I am sure I didn't and after calling one of their staff they looked into my account and couldn't see it.

The letter said I had to sell £3,124 worth of shares by the 14th. Now, that's a joke!! And to think I still have 14K allowance for this year!! /:0

Did you guys ever seen like this? I am sure I never went over my allowances.

Ndn71,

Let me see, anybody test, in the words of Alastair, "are easy to make"; I take a test with 50% to 75% sensitivity, are also easy to make and both within a year timeframe. AVACTA was aiming higher and with the view to dominate the market (not only few billion UK market) so the process will be longer.

I take my hat off to AVACTA for delivering a great test within 1 year.

TEMPLAR: ""neither is AVACTA or Alastair smith late with the results".....my ass "!

I think you missed the point in my arguments, TEMPLAR; AVACTA (or Alastair for that matter) completed all their work on time. The affimers were ready, the work with Cytiva was done as fast as humanly possible (taking into account LTF usually take 2 or more years to be developed and virus samples were accessible to the Chinese way way faster than it was to the West for various reasons [the WHO wasn't even allowed access to China at the beginning, so we were already a few steps behind]).

What we are all waiting for now is third parties to tell us what we already know (by the preliminary results on specificity and sensitivity) so we get the CE mark, and only then we will be able to sell.

So, your "my ass" is a little bit disingenuous in my view and show that you are not fair in blaming AVCT or Alastair for any delay. You should blame the Government's Porton Down, lack of technical scientific staff as I think it was mentioned in a post here, a while back, and bureaucratic paperwork by these third parties ( but not AVCT or Alastair as they moved mountains to speed up the process and have delivered more than 1000% share value for those who bought in the 20p range a year ago and only God knows how much more they will earn as the tests come out and the cancer therapies will progress).

I can only say, I am sorry you were too late to the party so far, but you can always buy in if you wish.

One extra point, which I think is worth more than what money can buy or reward us financially, it is the hope that the oncology aspect our AVCTA will deliver in this horrible fight against cancer. There is not one single argument you can put forward that will undermine the convictions and hopes of some of us who hold these shares (no one more than future Sir Alastair Smith I am sure) as we would all like to see cancer being defeated once and for all.

I rest my case here and frankly, the tests may be a great revenue stream for sure, but it is the hope of defeating cancer that my hopes will remain focused on; and not only on my selfish material gains.

Good luck with your investments.

TEMPLAR: "£1.2 billion for a 50% accurate Chinese test. It beggars belief".

That's correct, Mr., but one thing the Government is doing right and we got that from NCYT news, they are starting to stop wasting; they CANCELLED PCR contracts. Any Co trying to sell that is heading the same way NCYT is, and that is down.

The Chinese Inova orders were carried out last month, and we all know how crap those things are in relation to UK made LFT products, including ours, so they will head to the bin as none of those test will be accepted at airports, ports or international train stations.

And one last thing, neither is AVACTA or Alastair smith late with the results as THEY are not responsible for CV or CE marking delays. All those muppets drumming this point constantly in their idiotic attempt to affect the share price (AS IF) on a forum are simply deluding themselves and are not more than just some pathetic, sad morons with nothing else to do.
I can't believe I had to read their posts all the way from 47p ( when I first bought AVCT) and look at the price now. The more they try the more pathetic they all sound.

.

Why do you think NCYT collapsed today? The government has cancelled their order as PCRs will be yesterday news! GDR took a hit as well because sales will vanish. In France the news now is a shift to LFTs, not PCR and I expect the global sales to head the same way. I am sorry for those guys at NCYT, but that is where things are heading.

Funny, isn't it, we are about to launch and the government cancels their PCR contracts. I find this interesting we also are revamping our website.

And one thing I am sure, no country in the right frame of mind will open their doors to foreign travel being backed by a test with sensitivity of 75%! Brasil has now 92 different variants of Covid 19 and that will spread around unless tests are used to corral the damn thing.

The end.

The government has signed a contract for a LFT with 75% sensitivity, so? Yet, airports still closed, Eurostar still closed and almost going bust as an example and this innova test can't do anything to help to change the situation. PCR tests are way too expensive and time consuming to change the situation. The government signed this contract in mid march to meet their targets and AVCT couldn't sell to them as our test is waiting for the CE marking, it is that simple.

Now, what do you think will happen if our test's sensitivity is above 95% with 100% specificity and has CE marking? Will government accept AVCT LFT at the airports and international train stations? No PCR needed unless a positive result is found. The PCRs have changed nothing to the airline industry because they are expensive! Our LFT may change the way things are, not only here but in Europe for starters.

Now, we just need to wait for the RNS.

Good weekend all.

I would expect NCYT guys to jump in here to make up for the drop and loads more; well, that's what I would do.

Sisu, just added a few and so did some mates of mine. Only managed to get at 267 as AJ Bell, again, froze! They are absolutly rubbish..they did that to me so many times.

TallPaulNY, I see what you mean, but that would mean we create demand for that crappy test.What about if instead of creating demand for a Chinese test, we say no? But when AVCT comes in the game and it is used at airports, etc, we then request them to be sent to our home? My household has 27 members suddenly!

TallPaulNY: " Order and get all our friends to order the LFT tests now...why? 1. It will use up all the cr*p quickly.."

I am sorry, but I will not order that Chinese crappy tests. They will not enter my home. I shall write to them I will only buy British made rests as I do with my tomatoes at Tesco. No spanish tomatoes.. I buy only tomatoes grown in Kent (much tastier and home grown).
