Although we weren't mhra approved until 7th June so if the trials started before then they wouldn't be using the best test in the world. No reason after that date they wouldn't swap out yet more Chinese crap for the British engineered best test in the world. If not this government is a f'in shambles!!! (Which unfortunately we know they are)
It's mologic who submitted for them. And Alistair has stated there are also routes for Affidx so I'd imagine mologic would submit for us too. Hopefully not mess it up like they did with the MHRA submission...
Let's be honest though and I do have my turtle negative hat on here. But this is very early days for this affimer target and testing and commercialisation would take years. Does make the case for affimers even more compelling though. for those invested long term as I am the future is very bright indeed, and will be funded by the billions made from Affidx....
Dyou know what, after all this scandal I wish avacta had said feck u UK gov we will sell to Spain, France, Germany etc. Would be detrimental for UK citizens as we'd continue to have tests that would next to useless on new variants. But they seem to have caused us no end of issues with thier blatant illegal actions!

My post was very "normal" Avacta AffiDX® antigen lft test was evaluated with samples confirmed to be Delta variant and was shown to correctly identify all the positive cases. Two other commercially available lfts evaluated: One detected half the positive cases,other detected none. Shocking! Buy British!
This bit appears to have been removed from the RNS
The AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 antigen lateral flow test has been evaluated with a small number of patient samples confirmed to be Delta variant positive and, for a Ct<29, the test was shown to correctly identify all the positive cases. In this study, two other commercially available lateral flow tests were evaluated: One test detected half the positive cases and the other detected none.
