RE: TT Electronics share price crashes after iAbra Virolens COVID-19 test woefully exposed20 Sep 2020 15:39
So iAbra, the competition for the airport testing has been “woefully exposed on a number of fronts”.
Swinging the door right back open for the Mologic antigen test which will be manufacture by Omega.
“If we can find a test that is accurate, gets a result within a matter of minutes, is cost-effective and gets the Government green light, we could have the potential to introduce wide-scale testing at the airport.“
TTG: “saying it expects orders to come in for £280m from iAbra and its saliva-based test.“
Not that we need anymore catalysts... but, if they were expecting orders of “£280,000,000” this could turn out to be very significant.
“Geneme has proposed a rapid RT-LAMP test which uses a sample collected from a nasal or throat swab to provide results within 30 minutes. It uses a secure application from Yoti that simplifies the capture, processing and result sharing of Covid-19 tests, without needing paperwork. Secure spoof-proof results can be sent to an individual’s phone using the free Yoti app or to a specified email.”
“Mologic has put forward a lateral flow solution which uses a saliva sample on a test device, which provides a visually read result in 10 minutes.”
The iAbra test was previously hailed because it provided results in 20 seconds (before finding it was a fraud). Mologic is the next most efficient providing results in 10minutes, Geneme 3x longer at 30minutes.
I know which one I’d rather use.. much greater efficiency, whilst not having my brain poked at thank you.
