I posted this last night.... Beckman Coulter said the same thing.

BC are a massive US diagnostics company. Waaay bigger than ALL of our AIM UK Covid minnows. Their research is similar to the guardian article published for the way Addenbrokes do their covid testing combining both antibody and antigen.

Shamiram Feinglass, M.D., MPH, chief medical officer for Beckman Coulter, added, "At a time when a number of regions around the country are experiencing long wait times for testing due to shortages of molecular diagnostics (RT-PCR testing), antibody testing may play a key role in helping physicians determine if their patients have had a recent infection. Recent studies have identified asymptomatic individuals with a negative PCR test and a positive IgM test1 suggesting these patients may have had a low viral load or provided inadequate PCR samples. A positive IgM antibody test may help physicians identify some of these patients who received a false negative PCR result and should self-isolate until a follow up PCR test can be administered."

It has recently been reported that there are a number of states experiencing shortages of molecular diagnostics for the novel coronavirus, as well as backlogs on their analyzers due to high demand as infection rates surge. The Access SARS-CoV-2 IgM assay can help to alleviate this issue, as it helps to identify patients with an immune response to SARS-CoV-2.

The above paragraph is detailing the exact issue we are facing in the UK, and come winter surely they must utilise antibody tests to check for Covid. Especially as our test costs the government absolutely peanuts.

@cfh

The UK Gov paid for this test to be developed. Which ever way we address it, they will 100% buy these tests, not because they paid for them. But because they are the most accurate LFT antibody tests in the WHOLE world.

They are in a league of their own. And should they require, the consortium can provide millions of tests a week. ODX alone can do 2m at peak capacity.

Doing a test in a car? wtf!!

Is there one for doing it on the toilet too? most pregnancy tests occur there, thats what they are aiming for right?

Peel on 92, seems we may just hit 91-92

Lloyd

its always £2

think he likes that number.

Wait

Let me just throw all the predictions out there so i can say im right...

Going to finish blue is my second prediction.

Anyway

Closing 4% down today, thats my prediction.

ihavenoclue

you clearly are not buying enough, your 120 quid trade at 1500 isnt going to cut it im afraid.

Sorry Jay, just saw what you meant.

Peel 92

no they are not, they are on 90!!

PP

As an investor you have a right to ask GDR to update the shareholders page.

No, it’s optigene

@ppe

Does it mention ukrtc?

There is a big 500m announcement today for increased covid testing.

Could they double up?

Merchant, please create a thread for newbie investors that not seeing ukrtc in the RNS, profitability wise is better for us. Some people need spoon feeding.

If Mologic crack the LFT Antigen they 100% will, it goes without saying. The Antigen LFT is the most in demand test in the world.

Trials going on at Heathrow.

On sky news too, article doesn’t mention who has the 20 min test though. I’m assuming it’s POC.
