Was about to post saying I deplore the language (so thanks for the apology) but absolutely endorse the sentiment. Well said.

Bit difficult to do anything else. Market closed 5 minutes ago!! LOL

UT was 127 against a spread of 123 - 125. No idea of size. RNS tomorrow?

Although AVCT not specifically mentioned, there is a generally positive article in IC on line today, saying the need for testing will continue notwithstanding vaccines. NCYT is mentioned - may account for the strength in their share price today. Don't know if the link will open or if its behind a paywall.

Move up into positive territory looks to have started around 12.30. The last time this happened, there was an RNS that afternoon (albeit not the RNS we were looking for, LOL). A leak? 129p as I type.

If BBI are manufacturing Avacta's test, is it for them not Avacta to have submitted the tender? If so, as BBI are not publically quoted, would there be an RNS or is the only way we'll find out who won is when the government publishes the result?

Apols if this has been covered before

Or is this FOMO regarding a midday RNS? Will be interesting to see direction of travel immediately after 12!

To be fair, it was down before the IC piece was published. Maybe it will be in the print copy tomorrow and more people will see it then.

Simon Thompson in IC on line this lunchtime. Update, with this concluding paragraph:

"Admittedly, it’s been a roller coaster ride since I first suggested buying the shares at 93p ('Bang on the money', 26 September 2016), but they are making headway since my last buy call at 168p (‘Small-cap value buys’, 15 September 2020) and a break out through last summer’s 194p high seems a real possibility as contract momentum builds. The 225p target price I outlined in my last article could prove conservative. Buy."

Brief mention of Melody in today's Telegraph business section. Probably not the newspaper of choice for attendees of Melody's concerts, but all good publicity!

Not exactly a sovereign supply then!

Wow!

UT 115. Well above (relatively speaking) trades just before 4.30. Bodes well for tomorrow?

Validation = does it do what is required ( e.g. sensitivity and specificity). Clinical evaluation = does it work in the real world ( as opposed to the lab). No point in rolling it out for clinical evaluation of its not validated first.

Sorry ... Timster not toaster. B****** autocorrect

Toaster ... Yesterday's tweet said clinical evaluation would begin not validation. They are not the same thing.

That'll be a no then.

That'll be a no then.

Went out for a bike ride on Monday. Came back an hour later and SP had fallen by 40%. Just about to go again. Will do the circuit the opposite way round. Any chance the SP might go up 40%?!. LOL

Avacta's LTF may not be ready for clinical evaluation, but surely John Bell is talking about tests validated by Porton Down/Condor, etc.. Could be us. Don't forget David Wilson at the Cytiva virtual conference on 28 October said government is working closely with Avacta. Today Avacta's tweet said they are preparing for the first clinical evaluation; this does not preclude validation by government agencies. Validation and evaluation are not the same thing.
