with a pinch of salt....there are going to be people on here who have sold trying to get back in at a lower price and others who have bought at top of spike who are trying to keep the momentum going.....everyone is here for themselves so don't rely on anyones predictions on where the SP is going cos no one knows!

Akers Biosciences, Inc. ("ABI" or the "Company") ABI Granted Patent Protection for Semi-quantitative Test Strip Akers Biosciences, Inc (AIM:AKR), a leading designer and manufacturer of rapid diagnostic screening and testing products, is pleased to announce that it has been granted patent protection in the United States for its novel, semi-quantitative test strip technology (the "Technology"), which enables the rapid determination of levels of important markers of disease. The Technology forms a key element of the Company's Tri-Cholesterol test - the only rapid test in the US to determine Total HDL and LDL cholesterol levels. The Technology could also be applied to many other diagnostic tests that can be marketed to both doctors' surgeries and consumers. ABI's novel Technology facilitates the rapid, semi-quantitative analysis of biomarkers in bodily fluids within a convenient, on-site setting. The intellectual property encompasses certain elements of a system of membranes, as well as a means for the semi-quantitative estimation of the level of the biomarker. The concentration of certain biomarkers such as prostate-specific antigen, an important marker of prostate cancer, or cholesterol in the blood are important diagnostic tools necessary to monitor the risk or progression of disease. However, precise quantitative determinations are not necessary for the clinical utility of these biomarkers, but rather an estimate of the concentration suffices for screening purposes. By contrast, conventional methods are labour-intensive and time-consuming, and may involve specialised equipment and/or medical personnel to determine the concentration of the test substance. Dr Raymond F. Akers, Jr., Executive Chairman, commented: "We are pleased that another one of our core platform technologies has obtained patent protection. Our semi-quantitative test strip technology provides doctors and consumers with the ability to determine levels of important markers of disease inexpensively, at the Point-of-Care and without the complications of costly and difficult-to-operate medical instruments. Furthermore, the Technology provides users with fast and easy screening test results when precise measurement is not necessary. For example, what is most important to a patient with concerns about his cholesterol is whether his cholesterol level is higher or lower than it was last month. By putting the power of this type of information right when and where it is needed, immediate action can be taken."

Sounds great, hopefully May will be even better than this month ;)

Have you got anymore of those excellent predictions for news mate?

Fair comment: I thought that the products that AKR have are more exciting and would appeal to a wider market (as they deal with a multitude of different conditions) but I agree with you this has gone up substantially over the last few weeks and at least is staying in the 3.75 - 4.5 bracket....heres to the next push up ;)

I've been investing in shares for over 2 years now but am still a bit green. Why does a organisation's share price like VAL or PYC rocket upwards with the merest hint of good news whereby in comparison AKR does go up but nowhere near like for like. It can't be anything to do with the number of shares in issue can it? or is it because this is not on everyone's radar?

why these shares aren't being snapped up....I don't think you can find a small company in a more ideal situation (product / financially wise) hopefully with a bit more advertising other PI's might become more aware of what a gem it is.

Did you also say we may get an update this week on the Heparin Trials as well?

How do you do it?......you've ome up with the goods yet again.....nice one ;)

well I've got everything crossed then......I think the MMs are manipulating the price on this one.....I bought £5k more yesterday but couldn't see the transaction showing on buys.....unless they amagamated it with another buy and rounded it up to the £6.5k

what do you think 5p - 6p next week if its good news?

Its going to be a good day today with news coming next week :)

cosying up to Harry but he accurately predicted (to the day) when the results came out this week (both sets) so I have a lot of respect for him.....and if he says we are getting something next week I am getting excited....cut him a bit of slack....anyway thats the end of it....GLA

but being completely arbitrary, Harrys posts aren't ramping....they are stating fact....making wild statements such as 'the MM's want your shares' or 'tree shake' normal ramping statements are off putting. New investors will just be reading factual info they haven't seen before.

I can see where your coming from....but the more activity there is on a message board can influence new investors to come in....to see what all the fuss is about, and theres no harm in that
