Collaboration with AstraZeneca, GSK and University of Cambridge
On 8 April 2020, as part of the UK government's announcement of a new five pillar plan to increase testing for COVID-19, Novacyt announced a collaboration with AstraZeneca, GSK and the University of Cambridge to take action to support the national effort. A new testing laboratory has been set up at the university's Anne McLaren laboratory for high throughput screening for COVID-19 testing and to explore the use of alternative chemical reagents for test kits in order to help overcome current supply shortages. As part of the collaboration, Novacyt is ensuring an effective workflow process within the facility for COVID-19 testing, as well as providing its COVID-19 test to generate results data

In addition to our own Direct-to-PCR extraction reagents we also plan to launch Exsig™ Mag which is an RNA extraction reagent using magnetic beads for those laboratories that still wish to use the automated RNA extraction systems that they have invested in.
High throughput COVID-19 tests will be available in bulk format with each kit containing 1,536 tests for use in 384 well format instead of the smaller 96 well plate format. This product will be very helpful for large high-throughput clinical laboratories and will launch in June 2020.
· Mobile COVID-19 testing is being evaluated using the Company's q16 instrument combined with its ExsigTM Direct reagent and genesig® COVID-19 test. Trials in clinical laboratories are expected to complete in June 2020 and this mini-laboratory combination may be used in remote locations, such as care homes.
