big Al might mix it up a bit throw in an intraday RNS tied in with a GOV announcement

and it uses highly specific Affimer technology

https://avacta.com/using-affimer-technology-to-support-global-efforts-to-tackle-covid-19/

Thing is though Mortgage its completely out of Avacta's hands at the moment. Other than lining up more manufactures they have to wait patiently for clinical validation just like we are (well some of us)

Could do with that afternoon leak again to get us level...

blue afternoon perhaps....

Avacta will produce a game changing LFT there's no they might, they will! the same Affimers they used in the ELISA test are in use. Why would they stop working?

Its boring, nothing new to talk about or be worried about so here are the clues from recent RNS's about what is coming

Wednesday 2nd Sep RNS:

Authorities around the world are now looking to carry-out frequent mass testing to identify the most infectious people promptly in order to reduce infection rates and combat the coronavirus pandemic. That requires a highly specific test to minimize false positives which would otherwise overwhelm healthcare systems. The Affimer reagents that we have generated are very specific to SARS-CoV-2 antigen and we are confident of meeting and exceeding the clinical performance requirements for identifying the most infectious people.

Manufacturing capacity is therefore the key challenge that has to be met in achieving widespread roll-out of Avacta's saliva-based rapid antigen test. We therefore continue to actively seek additional manufacturing partners globally to be able to provide the volume of tests that will be required in the UK and elsewhere. I look forward to updating the market on progress in that regard, and will keep the market informed on the key next steps of clinical validation and regulatory approval."

Mon 7th Sep RNS:

Avacta remains focused on the much larger opportunity of the saliva-based coronavirus antigen rapid test that we are developing with Cytiva and which is now in the process of technology transfer to our manufacturing partners. The excellent analytical performance of the ELISA test is very encouraging with regards to the anticipated clinical performance of the rapid test and I look forward to starting the clinical validation with the first pilot batch of rapid tests as soon as possible.

500x more sensitive that competitors!!!

And from the medusa clarification RNS:
Avacta will update the market on continued progress and on the performance of its antigen test when appropriate.
(not when moaning PI's perceive it should be ready)

All sounds rather good to me .....

just ignore the LSE price not only is it 15 mins out of date its ******

great post Blownit

They've added a video on the medusa website explaining the (other) test now and some more graphics around sensitivity etc

not sure we do Liver Function Tests

I've followed this board for god knows how long, there is constant reference to LFT. I'm a little concerned

Very good point I suggest Mortgage et al get involved and ask Sir Al all the searching questions they ask everyday on here

as I just posted on another thread we had an update a week ago

The excellent analytical performance of the ELISA test is very encouraging with regards to the anticipated clinical performance of the rapid test and I look forward to starting the clinical validation with the first pilot batch of rapid tests as soon as possible.

do you want them daily?

from the last RNS 7th Sep:
he excellent analytical performance of the ELISA test is very encouraging with regards to the anticipated clinical performance of the rapid test and I LOOK FORWARD TO STARTING the clinical validation with the first pilot batch of rapid tests as soon as possible.

implies it hadn't started a week ago, so answer is no one really knows but rest assured they will be doing everything in their power to get it done quickly (whatever quickly looks like)

Dave don't feel too bad PL75 is a well known deramper (as you will know having followed the board) he's on most of the naughty boy lists.
You would also know being a big fan of the board that stupid (leading) questions that you could easily find the answer too are generally not well recieved.

Ask a decent thought provoking question, lke WTF is an LFT and you'll receive some cracking answers

He's not biting on the avacta tweets :)

He'll be trading the fleck out of it! Wouldn't mind betting he's well over £1.23 up already.... I do miss his "it's going up", "it's going down", "with good news it will go up ", " with bad news it will go down" posts

FECK ME, EVEN BIGGER LEAK

O% HUGE LEAK
