A Reminder21 May 2020 17:45
Just a reminder to ourselves that on 6th May the company said WE ARE IN TALKS WITH APTAMER GROUP. FFS how long do talks take whilst you let the covid 19 space get taken up by others?
Paraytec Limited ("Paraytec") (holding 100%)
Paraytec are in discussions with Aptamer Group and the University of Sheffield to define a project to develop a COVID-19 test. If successful, this test would enable potentially infectious individuals to be identified quickly. Such a test could be used in airports, transport hubs, healthcare environments, large workplaces and similar settings, where rapid screening of large numbers of people for presence of the virus is required. Using Paraytec's imaging capability in partnership with aptamers from Aptamer Group which bind to the spike protein on the virus, the objective is to develop a portable test, which can generate a result in a matter of minutes from a swab provided at the test location and require no specialist skills to be operated.
