Morning, Mr A. Just found your post from yesterday amidst all the codswallop about the share offer. You asked:
How many of those products sold by launch Diagnostics are Avacta's Richob?
None and neither are they Launch products. Launch, now Avacta, is a distributor. Launch clearly advertise these products for a reason and now it is Avacta advertising them.
How many of the manufacturers would instead have their goods manufactured in an Avacta-owned facility?
If you think the manufacturers are the developers of the products then none. Don't see how they are as Launch, now Avacta, offer manufacturing capability.
Or do you think Avacta would buy one of the manufacturers and their products?
I don't think manufacturers currently have their own products in that sense, so no.
Where do Affimers fit in all this?
Affimers fit in as future products.
I don't think Avacta are in any position to splash out spare cash. Not when the emphasis has been on diagnostics using Affimers.
The RNS is very clear about bringing about a Diagnostics Division with "global reach" that covers the "value chain".
As far as I see it, the value chain would include research and development, manufacturing, sales and distribution.
We clearly have research and development covered plus, it would seem, distribution across the UK and Europe. Our research and development is based on affimers.
Anyway, it is only a speculation on my part, so back to debating the share allocation I guess.
All the best.
Onwards Avacta Group.
