The markets that the Company is targeting are significant relative to its size. The Company estimates the Total Available Market opportunity of its assays is over £300 million based on end user pricing, and believes that there are currently no other MT-RNR1 products that can deliver time critical results in under 1 hour. The Genedrive® CYP2C19 assay has limited competition (which currently has a more limited genetic analysis and usability compared to genedrive's proposed solution).
