“ The U.K. is believed to be in the final stages of testing a new super-fast lateral flow test, the Daily Mail reported. It would deliver results in five minutes and its developer, U.K. company Avacta, say it’s more accurate than U.S. devices currently being used. The rapid test could aid the return to large sporting and entertainment events, the paper said. Mass testing is key to the government’s strategy to managing the next phase of the pandemic.”
Will be very good if we stay above £2 IMO. Obviously this is going places, but £2 has been a really tricky obstacle for us. Could it go a lot higher, yes, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I could be wrong though, hell I’d love it to be £10, lol.

Seems like this is confirmed now. Very glad to see.
“ A previous version of the Avacta test, which relied on saliva rather than nasal swabs, did not pass testing by Porton Down last month. However, the latest updated version has shown excellent preliminary results and is currently being assessed.”
The ODX LinkedIn leak was for an AN test, not Saliva (https://twitter.com/shredz90/status/1363056317389279233?s=21). Considering timelines, it would make sense that the Salvia failed at PD and the AN is currently being tested. From the figures from the recent RNS (96.7/100%)it will pass, I’m certain.
Very keen to hear all this from the horses mouth very soon though!
Being on Monday!
Correct.

“A British-made Covid test that gives results in just five minutes is expected to be at the heart of Boris Johnson’s plans to reopen live events, nightclubs, schools, and hospitality, HuffPost UK can reveal.
The lateral flow test developed by Yorkshire biotech firm Avacta boasts a higher accuracy than American devices currently imported in huge numbers by the government, but is also much faster.”

"Shares in the cryptocurrency miner are up 56% year-to-date and 560% over the past 12 months."
I didn't realize Avcata are a Crypto play... This is the third outlet to make a blatant mistake when covering Avacta. Very annoying to see.
