It's an analyst briefing FFS there's no scandal or sneaky shenanigans it is what it says it is.
Oh and gkb you may want to read the business update, it's probably a pack of lies but this is what avacta say:

In summary, the AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 Lateral Flow Rapid Antigen Test has excellent analytical sensitivity (LOD) of 50 pg/ml S1 spike protein, which appears sensitive enough to detect the lowest viral loads of relevance to the Intended Use Case, with a read time of 20 minutes. As far the Group is aware, this is the most sensitive S1 spike lateral flow test available.
The analytical specificity of the Affimer reagents has been reported previously with no cross-reactivity with the S1 spike proteins from closely related coronaviruses: MERS-CoV S1, SARS-CoV-1 S1, HC0V-229E S1, HCoV-HKU1 S1, HCoV-NL63 S1 or HCoV-OC43 S1.
The test detects the D641G mutant of the original coronavirus and the Group expects that the test will also detect the newer coronavirus variants. Work is ongoing with Public Health England to confirm this.

Funeral excuse out the way now, big reveal Monday. After my posts earlier from the business update I still believe we are very much targeting the sovereign test.
BUT also the global market is going to be wide open to avacta if results are anywhere near the initial CV

BIG sell off I'd imagine 20% plus
Be a chance to add more if you are a true believer that cv will finish one day :)

Don't forget there's also the 8bn dps tender which would be better suited to test developers and manufacturers

To be fair most weeks someone has said "big week next week"
Let's hope this is reaching the final crescendo and it is a big week next week ....

@Bella are you talking about this:
https://mologic.co.uk/mologics-covid-19-rapid-antigen-self-test-selected-by-nih-for-radx-initiative-funding/

Would appear that this is a mologic only these there is no mention of partners being involved to develop it.

Doesn't seem to be the joint avacta test though

Then they go on to say in the business update:

"In summary, the AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 Lateral Flow Rapid Antigen Test has excellent analytical sensitivity (LOD) of 50 pg/ml S1 spike protein, which appears sensitive enough to detect the lowest viral loads of relevance to the Intended Use Case, with a read time of 20 minutes.

All seems very UK gov centric, we now know that validation against variants has been completed (apart from SA perhaps)

Was just checking back why we changed from pure saliva. And it's fairly obvious it was to fit with UK gov:

"The Group announced in Q4 2020 that it would focus on anterior nasal sampling because of the variability of saliva samples, although the test works with both sample types. The UK Department of Health and Social Care has also recently focused on nasal and other swab samples rather than saliva."

So I think it would be very surprising if we were not the sovereign test, especially with all the other evidence that points our way

Interesting Sona are progressing with a saliva only test too

The USA needs us, the two tests they have approved are garbage compared to our initial validation

Did I win for being closest? Where's my medal?

Ah ok, we know wyn is a cheeky crafty chartists trader scumbag though :)

Not sure you get the right end of the stick I think people post that to point out the mms are happy to take all thier shares so therefore think they will also sell them to someone else. When it's dropping they won't take the lot

Class! Only when wyn says so and not before :)
