Having seen the video with Tom Oakley glad to be invested here.
Very promising technology.

Result probably emailed. Devils in the detail, like everthing connected to cv19!
Bottlenecks? PCR test availability, reagents?
Is dPCR a 'game changer'? ....

K3VMC:
Professor Peto approach
https://www.bmj.com/content/bmj/368/bmj.m1163.full.pdf

Peto again calling for 10million tests per day.
Lets hope the Govt is listening. This gets the country back to work faster.
Win, win sutuation.
PCR tests required at massive supply levels if you follow Peto.
This would be only the UK approach!!!

Professor Peto on Radio 4 now 7:52

TheOriginalNova, there is no competition. Demand is greater than supply for tests. This is a global pandemic. Just need WHO approval and mass distribution to have a product that is cash generative.
A path that NCYT had already done.
Other Companies no doubt will follow.
Time is short in a pandemic.
NCYT have a product available today not tomorrow.
Follow the science.
Test,test,test

I posted (Sun 19/4 21:13) that I hoped the url I posted was wrong.
Daily Mail reports https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8235247/Governments-Chief-Scientific-Officer-cautions-against-relying-coronavirus-jab.html

Sir Patrick Vallance has cautioned that even if there is evidence that the new Covid-19 jab can protect against the virus it could take considerably longer to ensure that it is safe.
'All new vaccines that come into development are long shots. Only some end up being successful.
'Coronavirus will be no different and presents new challenges for vaccine development.
'This will take time and we should be clear it is not a certainty.'
Peto argued that mass testing was the direction if travel without a vaccine.

Sharehunter3, I agree with your comments.
NCYT have the right technology, PCR, and have one of the selected tests that is WHO approved!
No need to listen to rampers or derampers here, follow the science.
NCYT could become one of the few Companies where you buy on the rumour and buy on the news!

taffsensation could not agree more.

Sobering...
Confirms that US may be in trouble with its test progam, too much reliance on dubious antibody tests. These just do not work at this moment in time.
Uk assessments on antibody testsv and the WHO confirm this.
PCR testing either Roche or NCYT is the test product to get behind.
With PCR testing the way to go and being one of the recommended WHO tests then I am happy with my NCYT investment decision.
Looking forward to sales data and end of year reporting info.

bakky interesting article on Mologic, can you please post on their board and let me focus on NCYT?

Researching, here is an article that gives reasons to be cautious about a vaccine:

Lets hope the article is wrong.....

Looks like Professor Peto recommendation s will be the direction of travel.

Lockyer,
speaks volumes of the insight by the Company to innovate and be bold. No doubt NCYT previous experience with SARS, MERS and Ebola is being used to the maximum, as well as the distribution networks!
Thank goodness for NCYT, testing should be able to progess at the daily test rates targeted in the UK and France.

Well at 9:05 (19/4/20), I did make the bold statement
I would seriously advise countries to implement the WHO test recommendation for covid 19 testing, the Roche or the NCYT PCR test.
The guardian article https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/19/scientists-raise-concerns-about-quality-of-uk-covid-19-tests
again validates my investment decision. I am in the correct test technology (PCR and soon to be the only Company supplying dPCR) and one of the WHO recommended PCR test companies, NCYT.
Excellent.
Test, test, test

Valuefinder thanks for the feedback.
I will check if if I had used the phrase "I conclude"

Researching came across
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01115-z
most antibody kits have not undergone rigorous testing to ensure they’re reliable and no country appeared to have a validated antibody test that can accurately determine whether an individual has had COVID-19.
I conclude the antibody tests have been oversold and more importantly I conclude that the FDA EUA process is a flawed process. I would seriously advise countries to implement the WHO test recommendation for covid 19 testing, the Roche or the NCYT PCR test.
Time in a pandemic is a commodity in short supply.
What this report and the WHO comments on antibodies tells me is that I am invested in the right technology and the right company. PCR and NCYT.
The scientific evidence agrees with my investment decision. As the Govt keeps saying... follow the science. Glad to have confirmation!!
Test, test, test

Note:
I had not been aware of binding and neutralising antibodies. I was not aware that tests do not detect the neutralising antibodies, which prevent the virus entering the cell, but rely on detecting binding antibodies as a guide to how many neutralising antibodies there are.
I can now totally appreciate the need for TESTING the tests.
Really pleased the UK took this approach. Very methodical and correct.
FDA?
gla, you are in the right company at the right time.

Article from New Scientist
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24532754-600-can-you-catch-the-coronavirus-twice-we-dont-know-yet/

gggg21, those figures to get 400m revenue, are they impacted by the dPCR test? ie does it increase as the dPCR test involves less reagents? Also is manufacture simplified? All more product in the same timeframe?
dPCR also has no DNA purification stage. This leads to less risk of sample loss from the swab and less risk of contamination.
Looks like a win win to me and further example of the Primerdesign/NCYT boldness and innovation.

Off message, but relevant to today's headline news.
Once again PPE provision is looking inadequate:
Lack of surgical gowns for medics 'a disaster in waiting', say NHS bosses
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/09/lack-of-surgical-gowns-for-medics-a-disaster-in-waiting-say-nhs-bosses-coronavirus?
It is no good the government continually saying this, or that, many millions of items have been delivered. The questions that need answering are:
* How many of each type if item are required per day?
* How many of each item can be supplied per day?
Other questions I have on PPE:
* Specifically what are the differences between the WHO recommendations on PPE and those in the UK?
* Where can those who are interested refer to the peer reviewed science that supports any differences between the UK approach and the WHO approach?
More generally, if there has been a national effort on producing ventilators:
* Why can there not be a national effort to produce PPE to WHO standards? Specifically: respirators to FFP3 standard; Hazmat suits; protective visors.
This line if questioning surely isn't rocket science?
