Wonder where superdrug buys them ... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05/22/do-not-rely-superdrug-antibody-test-says-governments-testing/

A reminder for those asleep:

I always believed if someone is claiming "100%", he is either joking or doesn't understand anything in medical statistics.

Why some people use this BB to advertise their "stock" ? If you continue, I will align all the negatives to put off people into buying or even getting interested in your orphan. You are polluting ODX BB.

Scientists versus politicians:

The conclusion of these professors is interesting regarding the professionalism of the PHE.
“Public Health England’s evaluation does not meet the standards that would be expected for confirmation that these tests meet the criteria set by UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority for accreditation as point-of-care tests. Moreover, their suitability for age- and gender-specific population surveillance has not been addressed."

Very interesting response to "100% accurate" tests of Roche by experts in the field.
I always believed saying 100% is very amateurish in science: - - - hTtps://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-phe-laboratory-evaluations-of-roche-and-abbott-antibody-tests/

The conclusion of these professors is interesting regarding the professionalism of the PHE. Thus why ODX and partners are taking their time to check every detail to make sure they follow the real standard,

For information: Two very recent studies by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston have shown that Covid 19 antibodies provided immunity.

For those keeping mentioning other stocks in this sector, reality will catch them soon. The question everybody will ask: Do their tests really work ? Why these were not approved yet ? ODX will end up stronger because they took things seriously, took their time and delivered a good reliable product with the backing of multi-discipline science. they are not interested to trick PI's by releasing RNS even when they go to the loo.

At the end of the day, the herds elsewhere will end up piling up on here at ODX as serious work will always prevail. Just a matter of patience; this is the game.

DubleD - Agree until design freeze which won't take long.

Roche is a laboratory oriented test that requires time for waiting the results and human resources to process the test and the results. Roche test is mainly for doctors and health workers in hospitals in general. ODX is a hand-held test kit that can be used at home, by airports and factories/offices etc. This is all the difference. So when the ODX design is frozen we are talking about millions of POC test kits to be manufactured.

Roche test is for hospitals while ODX POC test will be accessible to the masses anywhere and anytime.

Monday is bank holiday. A few may miss the train.

Will they offer an antigen POC test in the future apart from the saliva test for antigen ?

"At PMQs, Mr Johnson said there was "growing confidence" the UK would have a test, track and trace operation in place by 1 June, with 25,000 trackers."

Without a vaccine yet and with a long time it'll take to make it available to billions when/if available, the major tool to control the virus and let people work/travel and single out those who do not need the vaccine (those with antibodies), is the antibody test. ODX is very well placed. I wonder if it can also help design and antigen POC test kit. So ODX could easily offer dual applications (POC antigen + POC antibody tests).
