30th March RNS -
'The Company expects to sign further distribution partnerships during the next few weeks in this region and also expects to update on its progress in the US market following Emergency Use Authorization granted by the US Food and Drug Administration announced on 23 March 2020.'
Hopefully we'll receive an US update soon - 'During the next few weeks' is now.
Also food for thought... No ramping intended, only how I'm reading it -
8th April RNS re partnership -
'A new testing laboratory will be set up by AstraZeneca, GSK and the University of Cambridge at the university's Anne McLaren laboratory.
As part of the collaboration, Novacyt will ensure an effective workflow process within the facility for COVID-19 testing, as well as provide its COVID-19 test to generate results data.
Steve Rees, Head of Discovery Biology, BioPharmaceuticals R&D of AstraZeneca, commented:
"We are delighted to be collaborating with Novacyt to develop and evaluate the required COVID-19 testing approach in the new AstraZeneca, GSK and University of Cambridge testing facility to support the broader UK government screening programme."'
That sounds more like nyct is helping AZ develop rather than supply. Could AZ be looking to buy? I'm doubtful, but am trying to read inbetween the lines to understand the arrangement.
