Busy day today. Only just getting round to reading the Telegraph. No time to check for earlier posting of this article:

http://digitaleditions.telegraph.co.uk/data/356/reader/reader.html?social#!preferred/0/package/356/pub/356/page/22/article/82924

Last para - "... the key to achieving Covid-free environments. The saliva solution is ready and waiting - if government really wants to have a world beating testing sytem, then just embrace it."

So come on HMG, lets get it done with Avacta!

I've been out of contact in transit today until now. I see an earlier thread mentioning the Telegraph, but I don't think it has picked up the John Bell interview in today's business section.
Referencing testing he says "reducing contact isn't the only tool the government has in its arsenal. Testing is also an important part of curbing the spread ..." Up to now this has been via test sites or home delivered tests. They are maxed out. The government has now started to look at another option - mass testing "which would allow people to conduct at-home pregnancy-style tests to discover whether they were infectious on a daily basis." "Currently, he says, the scientists are trying to scale up what is called a lateral flow test so millions are available each day. These 15 minute tests would detect infectivity rather than diagnose Covid in all its forms ..." "The focus, he says, has turned very much to these tests over those that detect antibodies, which were oce branded a game changer."

Looks to me like AVCT's test works and it"only" needs scaling up.

This thread is updating far quicker than the BBC wesite! Thank you all

Check out the second ODX RNS!

try www.m.uk.investing.com. I use it for live prices on a mobile phone.

Ben ... BBI are also at Porton Down

No indication of when the antibody test will be available, so is it ahead of ours? Even if not strictly comparable.

Where has this info come from? Link?

Curreny bid/offer 130/132, so mid price now above mid price at COB yesterday. Only the very odd UT at 136 makes it look as if we are down. We are (just) up. Don't panic, Mr Mannering!

12 month high today. Also looks like an all time high.

Buy recommendation by Simon Thompson in IC on line today.

The Guardian article says the order is for 450,000 tests, available immediately. That will barely scratch the surface. This is a stop gap order pending the availability of a better/more easily administered test. Via CONDOR the government knows what is in the pipeline.

LSE obviously having problems today. This is not the only stock in my portfolio to have seriosuly inaccurate share price info. London Stock Exchange confirms closing price 5p. Looks like the uncrosssing trade against a bid/offer of 4.8/5.

Not good enough

Not happy with SP shown above. Intraday chart has flat lined since 2pm. London Stock Exchange has a closing price (uncrossing trade) of 145 against a last recorded bid/offer of 142/144.

Not the only share in my portfolio to have seriosuly incorrect SP data on LSE today.

Just had a modest top up. HL quoted (on line) 142.98 to buy and 143 to sell. Curious. Assume market makers want shares. And how long since the spread has been so small as to be almost non-existent.

No, but clearly not Avacta!

Was in Westerham, Kent yesterday. Saw a sign outside what I would call a plastic surgery shop - offers skin treatments, botox etc. Intrigued to see a board outside advertising Covid-19 tests. I Emailed to get details. This is their response:

" Its a Covid blood test but we only do certain days due to getting the bloods to the lab. Results are back 24 hours later and are 98.7% accurate to say as to whether you have antibodies or not. It is much more dependable than the pin prick ones that give out different results. The cost is £120."

Looks like there is a demand and plenty of scope for our "immediate" antigen test to be very profitable for Avacta.

Just out of curiosity ... how the hell do you pronounce AffyXell? Does it mean something in Korean?

The Dolloo ...
My average is worse - I first bought at 40p and now hold 500,000 at an average of 5.7p!!! Hasn't been worth selling at under 0.5p, so still holding. Fingers and everything else crossed.

Thanks Munchlet. Encouraging. I need a share price of 2p (pre consolidation) to break even. Lets hope the placing is not too big.
