RE: £150k…. Really?24 Apr 2024 13:48
Dibs, the contract value may not be large but I think you are missing the point when you call it “derisory”. The importance of the contract is that it is a foot in the door of a major pharmaceutical company.
AS himself, in today’s interview, acknowledged that £150,000 is a small amount of money, but it has a “massive flow through potential”. AGL will aim to build on this new relationship with AstraZeneca. AN also referred to
“the halo effect of working with AstraZeneca” and that “they are a critical reference customer for the rest of our business.” It is a huge endorsement of AGL and Parsortix to be used by a company of the stature of AstraZeneca, who are a genuine household name.
Another positive is that the DDR assay developed and paid for by Artios is being used and developed further for AstraZeneca’s requirements. So, not only have AGL been paid to develop the Artois assay, but it can then be offered to other customers.
I think it’s a great result from the AGL team.
