No, what you actually said was my initial post, suggesting there are legitimate unanswered questions that investors have, whilst also saying I think we will have a great test and sell all we can make was “deramping nonsense.”

Suggest we stop clogging up the board with this actual nonsense now, and as I say just filter me if you truly think that’s the case. I’d suggest my posting history indicates otherwise but it’s neither here nor there.

All the best.

I’ll just green box you, suggest you do the same. I’ve literally said multiple times that I think we will have a great test and sell all we can make...you’re just another one of RK’s happy clapping brigade who thinks it’s a crime to pose a question or post anything other than out and out blind praise of an investment case...truly bizarre, illogical behaviour.

You’re a bit simple....both to suggest I’m deramping when simply saying Its an investors prerogative to ask legitimate questions, and to suggest that anyone who is *actually* “deramping” (I agree there are plenty who do it!) on a PI discussion board is going to have any tangible effect on the share price...!

I think you (perhaps deliberately) miss the point somewhat - try and read what I said rather than jumping to hysterical hyperbole.

Innova have done very well with a sub standard test, what’s your point? If Al delivers a “sub standard” test after the months of delays then this would not only be deemed as a failure but would also risk damaging the affirmer IP and reputation of the company. As a result, and as I said previously, I think we will have a great test and sell all we can make (how is that de ramping?)

I simply said there are several unanswered questions to which investors have legitimate concerns - that doesn’t mean they won’t be answered in due course or indeed answered in a manner to everyone’s liking!

If you don’t think shareholders should be able to have questions with regard to their investment and subsequently try and seek out answers to said questions then investing really isn’t for you is it.

All the best.

To be fair Speranza, what he actually said was we have the best performing spike protein LFT in a lab setting, hence given the majority if not all other well publicised LFT’s target the N protein, this is arguably
not saying a great deal. Semantics maybe, but quite a big difference.

FWIW, I think we will have a great test and sell as many as we can make, but there is still a hell of a lot of unanswered questions around a number of subjects - I have no doubt all will be revealed in due course but it’s totally understandable that investors continue to have questions with regard to the science, the performance of the test, company strategy and likely commercial terms going forward.

All the best.

Excellent company run by some brilliant people...I worked in their finance team in the early Ish days before they moved to the current addenbrookes site...probably biggest career regret that I moved on too quickly!

Thanks PAH, very useful.

Thanks Leewill, I’ll have a hunt. As I say I’m sure they are happy with it picking up mutations in the lab to progress this far but was just a nuisance I picked up from Al’s interview.

Any insight as to why we are targeting the S rather than N protein more generally, especially given the apparent preference for the latter elsewhere?

At the risk of having all hell come down on me this morning, I noticed a slight nuisance in Al when relistening last night - he stated they have the best analytical performance in a SPIKE antigen test...

Perhaps semantics but both mologic and Surescreen as far as I’m aware target the N protein...in fact can’t find many if any examples of tests targeting the spike or “S” protein - happy to be proven wrong!

It is also the S protein that mutates with the likes of the Kent and SA variant we hear so much about.

Now, I have no doubt the test works re picking up the variants mentioned, but as someone with close to zero scientific background, can anyone post any light on whether this is likely to make any difference to real world sensitivity at all?

Genuine questions. Happy to be told I’m talking tosh!!!

I don’t dislike him, I don’t know him - simply calling out his rampant hypocrisy and unnecessary rudeness after his cry me a river post last night.

Wont say anymore about it, all the best.

Hi Sleepydave,

There is definitely plenty on here with a rude attitude - no issue with Ophidian calling out such people.

However, if you were on twitter - you’d see that his rude, obnoxious and condescending attitude to posters simply trying to have a polite debate is as clear as day. He repeats the same performance of condescending haughtiness (as you put it) and name calling, before blocking people time after time.

The guys free to do what he likes, and no doubt makes some useful contributions. I just find his rampant hypocrisy and inflated self importance pretty nauseating to be honest - summed up by posts like last nights.

Ophidian, your research is appreciated by many and congrats for having the insight to see this link with Mologic that many couldn’t envisage.

However, What I don’t understand is why you attack, block and slander multiple posters on both here and especially twitter for simply having a different opinion, or questioning some of your arguments or thought processes?

I have seen it many times where you resort to ad hominem personal attacks on people (as you did to me and even resorted to posting multiple tweets casting false and slanderous aspersions around my character) who have legitimate questions or counter arguments and it’s really quite pathetic.

So yes - well done, and as I say your thoughts are always welcome. I just find your behaviour a bit odd on occasion for someone who has tonight come onto this board for the sole reason of calling out people for behaving in a manner that you have done yourself on many occasions....

All the best.

Hi Darkspartan,

Some very valid points, especially with regard to the inconsistency of this government's policy re the response to covid - it is something that worries me also given we would appear to have placed a large number of our eggs in UK gov's basket...

On that note, and to address your question re sampling methods - this is one of the key reasons why I strongly believe we are working closely with gov. IMO it is clear that we switched to AN on their direct guidance... if you look at a number of recent tender and explanatory documents, AN is rated as the preferred sampling method with saliva demoted to #3 (bottom of the pile).

I have no idea whether the saliva test is still being developed (Nov RNS suggested so), however it's clear that AN is now the preferred method and the test that Avacta have taken into clinical evaluation.

Agreed Zz....hold and wait. Switch off. Regardless of LFT, I am as close to certain as I can be that Avacta will become a £1bn+ company.

Started reading Chris Mayer's book "100 baggers" recently. Very limited on technical analysis, but a very good anecdotal read with regard to long term profitable investing. The fundamentals here are so strong, regardless of external noise and ST share price fluctuations.

I believe it’s a private company incorporated in South Korea. Not a huge deal of info out there on that front.

Great to see the Daewoong JV continue to make progress. This funding is another validation of both that partnership and the affimer platform more generally.

Testing silence frustrating, but it's not hard to see where this is going long term. So many red hot irons in the fire, billion £ + valuation is surely an inevitability now.

On the tests, unless we're being sold the greatest con in AIM history, the silence is becoming truly deafening IMO.....You'd be utterly mad to sell at these levels.

No, we’re due neither....due a trading update.

Interim financials for a December year end in February would be a new one for me...!

Eh?

No anger here. I'd suggest irrational is inferring others are posting nonsense when it is indeed yourself doing so.

Your quotes this morning:
" Let’s just say I had to correct you again and leave it at that."
"Some inaccuracies being posted about “prioritising” sampling method."

As per our last spat, it's much easier to just admit you're talking tosh, otherwise you just look like a fool...

Link doesn't paste properly but its from the director's talk interview he did pre Christmas. Verbatim:

"Moving into clinical testing in parallel with the manufacturing scale up.....we know that we have a very good test as far as the lab is concerned, using spiked NASAL swab samples"...........

All the best!
