What to expect? Naturally lots of positive talk about vaccine roll out, questions about school re-openings on 8/3 and Whitty’s apparent reluctance to endorse it (which is on the Guardian front page tomorrow), and hopefully mass LFT testing.

Overall I think Han**** will be trying hard to set groundwork for Boris to launch from on Monday. Politicians will want to set the right tone, hence I think the update to the update in the Huff Post.

Was there ever any news on the potential Asian manufacturers AS was exploring?

For info and apologies if already posted

A great end to the day for everyone and can’t wait until next week. So grateful to everyone on here for sharing their knowledge and discoveries, as well as their wit during our nearly year long period of “sex and violence”.

Thought this was an interesting read, especially given it was published Friday and with Boris making his announcement Monday.

GLA, although am not sure we’ll need it.

Exclusive piece just published naming Avacta test as the test to get nightclubs, theatres and sporting events open.

“Specialist British manufacturers BBI and Abingdon, which produce the Avacta-designed test, are on track to help meet a target of providing two million tests a day after Easter.”

Great news if borne out!!!!!

@Bucknut - as per my earlier post, it’s never been confirmed.

There’s always been strong indications that our international partner is Sona, although that’s never been confirmed.

Sona had been dropping steadily over some time but, for no apparent reason, reversed up 47% in late trading yesterday. Might be worth watching for any news releases prior to the CSX opening today

Anyone else find it a little odd that M19 haven’t posted our evaluation news on their site, LinkedIn or Twitter?

400,000 LFT’s to be sent out through Royal Mail every day under new govt scheme to move out of lockdown.

Someone’s gotta make them....

Understand now - thx Doze

Still don’t get why a larger dataset is needed given Mologic CE marked based on 28. I know AS said CE marking must be done on the final product produced using the scaled up process, but seems odd to think the 28 already tested weren’t produced that way.

The FDA recently posted this on its FDA Virtual Town Hall series page

It links through to more detailed stuff at

Looks to me like the US are following the U.K. lead by putting in place mechanisms to massively bolster its domestic Covid supply chains. No bar to foreign test manufacturing as long as actual manufacturing done in the US, but we would need EUA by 31 March (which seems unlikely..)

But you never know...!

Just an observation, but in the interview AS said a larger clinical data set was needed for CE marking, but Mologic CE marked (I think) based on initial data using just 28 samples. Am I missing something....?

This one could end up being even more important for ABDX...

Yep - and £503m is the full value of the award assuming all deliverables are met and extensions exercised.

Unfortunately I’ve been diagnosed with the dreaded peek-a-boo virus.

Gotta go to ICU.

Roll on next week, and good luck to all genuine holders.

Worth remembering that Novarum (BBI) were contracted by the DHSC to provide proof of concept work on 2 November last year pursuant to plans to deploy antigen LFTs to the public for at home testing.
