Anyhooo, Boris said ANTIGEN so its not the 200k ODX antibody tests he's talking about.

dont want to get into this pointless comparison again.

Mologic though does have an Antigen test we know this from the heathrow trial but its hard to find information on how far advanced it is:

lol MB , having antibody's does not mean you cant catch it again. the scientific community still seem to be split on this:

enter stage left, Sir Al riding a lion holding aloft a pregnancy style test to a rousing chorus of rule Britannia (or whatever it is we are aloud to sing now)

Listened to the interview and thought they said the AffiD test as in AffiDX test. But unfortunately its Abbot.

I'd be surprised if the Danaher test wasn't ours as PSB123 said the Sona test is out there and they would refer to it as that

@agentB it is odd in most of the interviews where handjob did start to expand on the holy grail pregnancy style test he was shutdown by the interviewer. its almost like a conspiracy ;)

it'll just be about local lock downs nothing more

The Affimer® platform is Avacta’s proprietary therapeutic platform with its intellectual property covered by several patent families.

One positive for Avacta with the surge in cases is that they shouldn't have any issue obtaining samples through CONDOR or from LSTM

oh dear, not good! hope you are ok.

what you allude to is an accelerated clinical validation. Shirley this will happen with such an important test...

if you do not reply to AW he skulks off back to his stone. STOP engaging the ****we all know why he posts

Just to confirm we have a test that does work big Al talks about it from 7 mins in he discusses the LFT

Of course it does! and exceptionally well, a few RNS snippets

Avacta, in partnership with Cytiva, is developing a rapid test strip for use with patient saliva that aims to provide a result in a FEW MINUTES, indicating whether the patient is currently infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The test has the potential to be used for frequent mass testing of the population to promptly identify infectious individuals so that they can be isolated and treated, thereby reducing the spread of infection.

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.

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

I also noticed in the first one that it provides results in a few minutes, hadnt noticed that referenced before

As chengdo suggested earlier tweet him to let him know or the Facebook equivalent

All seems fantastic to me! Not sure what they toe rag did to make it negative as he's a green box. Best to ignore him though he disappears again then...

Sounds like exactly what we will need for the LFT they will manufacture in the millions.....

@DOH85 hence the AffiDX trademark (one small piece of the puzzle)

@MrSpacetom as I understand it the ELISA test is for lab research and is not at all for testing patients or mass testing.
Which is why it was hailed as useless by the derampers yesterday even though its the most accurate ELISA test to be produced and uses the same Affmer agents the LFT uses

prepared to be corrected by those in the know though

The discussion that was posted by PL75 yesterday said our test was 90 seconds. First time I'd heard that before too

great post @TheAlchemyst, where were you yesterday when I asked for expert comment and all I got was @PL75 ;)

Chegdo your mask has slipped deramping scumbag ;)

I'd expect Sir Al to ride into the house of commons on the back of a lion holding aloft an LFT to a rousing chorus of rule Britannia!!
