Don't know when exactly it was added, but have checked at web.archive.org which has a snapshot of the site on 5/2 (the latest snapshot available), and it wasn't on there then.

Might be nothing, but interesting on a slow day nonetheless.

For info a free to register event on Thursday from 4-6pm, hosted by UCL.

Michael Mina is participating, as is Tim Peto who will be talking about LFT evaluation. Overall some interesting speakers all round.

Some time ago I registered interest with M19, but never heard anything. This morning, however, I received the following;

Might be nothing (the landing page they give a link to only details their RPST as a product option to buy), but it might also be a precursor to a wider marketing push to coincide with our expected commercialisation around the end of March.?

I suppose its just strange to have received this after months of radio silence, during which they could have peddled their RSPT to me had they wished.

It’s interesting to compare the various accreditation’s of BBI and Mologic

https://mologic.co.uk/our-capabilities/quality/
https://bbisolutions.com/about-us/quality/iso-certifications.html

I have no real knowledge of these things, but it seems Mologic has got certified conformity with overseas requirements (notably US), and that their accreditation includes the development and manufacture of self test IVD, whereas the overseas conformity and self test elements are missing from BBI accreditation’s.

Been right here Timster - posted this on 20th!

Can’t see these being used...

Does make you think again about the Huff Post article again....

Thought it was interesting to see that everyone using the tests will need to report the results, online or by phone. Lot of trust there, particularly given the implications of reporting a positive result , and the fact we are largely talking about secondary school kids who will need to be honest and take it seriously. Surely an app to read the result and report directly would be a more conducive solution for teenagers, whilst at the same time offering better potential for accurate reporting.

We have, but I don’t believe either manufacture LFT’s.

Unsurprisingly the House passed the COVID relief Bill, which includes $50bn for T&T. Likely I think to pass through the Senate.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to partner with a large US manufacturer...

Thanks all

Thanks TheA - makes sense re BBI and agree re the urgency!

For info, Healgen one of 3 tests approved in Germany for home use.

Scaredy-cat - maybe.

GMCC - agree re the combined test, but that seems a little way off to me.

Is anyone else confused by the Mologic agreement/relationship with us?

-We’re told they’ve been collaborating for months - anyone know why?

-It seems they’re useful to us now because of their ISO accreditation which can accelerate CE and therefore commercialisation. But if that’s so, why didn’t we ask BBI to get the CE mark instead of a “competitor”? Perhaps they’re not a competitor??

-Mologic said in December that wider validation results for their test were expected to be available during Jan, but if they were, they weren’t published ( from what Ben says it seems they might get published next week). This “delay” coupled with the somewhat strange agreement to help us in between times seems a bit weird to me.

-Worth noting that the tech transfer to ODX of the Mologic test remains ongoing, and that until this week neither Mologic or AVCT had made any comment about either test going through PD, which again seems odd given that both companies were involved in “moonshot” from the outset after meeting BJ in August, and their apparent status domestically.

And then there was the ODX guy who, post the Mologic CE announcement, let slip he was working on the AVCT test...? Why would he be doing that...?

I just can’t square the circle in my own mind and do wonder whether there’s more collaboration going on behind the scenes between us, Mologic, ODX and perhaps others than we know. Might we get some kind of wider “collaborative”announcement about domestic supply of tests ready for 8th March to satisfy what moonshot was all about in the first place, ie bringing U.K. diagnostics together to drive a desired sovereign outcome?

This is probably all ****** and if so, please ignore!!!

Regulator - not sure I agree with you here.

Mologic were brought into accelerate the CE mark for AVCT. That mark will be transferred to AVCT once they get their ISO accreditation.

So whilst it might be right to say AVCT wont acquire the CE mark for the test until the end of March, the test itself is very likely to be CE marked before then, by Mologic, thus enabling sales for professional use thereafter.

Looks to me like someone bought 5,042 shares at 99p just after open, and then sold them at 8.25 at just over 91p! Now that’s madness!!

For info - Nature article from Friday re infectiousness post vaccination.

Not seen the Bloomberg terminal before, but seems to me insti’s are holding or accumulating by taking shares from PI’s (noting the drop held by HL in particular)
