The seller is passing them on to a buyer. They may be well in profit, diversifying, need the cash, or don't believe in the company. Who knows. I'm confident holding but each to their own. I just hope nobody sells due to some of the lies and misinformation posted by some on here. Likewise buy due to the same. Please feel free to challenge the factuality of any of my posts and I'll happily review/edit if necessary.
"Modern Water, announces production orders up 39% in Q1, worth c£5m"
It's pretty clear to me what they're saying.
£5mln worth of equipment has been sold in Q1 as opposed to £3.6mln in Q1 of 2021. An increase of 39%. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
Half of last years revenue met in Q1 of 2022. Shhh now, Come back another year when and if they don't achieve it.

Aptamer Group, Optimer®- enabled Microtox®PD wastewater monitoring for COVID-19
MicrotoxPD uses biosensor technology, enabled with specific Optimer binders to capture and bind the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 with 100% specificity for Spike protein and detection of minuscule concentrations (fem/ml) in wastewater, for real-time detection and monitoring signal outbreaks up to a week ahead of health facility testing.
NU, I'd personally rather posters see his pathetic attempts to deramp this. He's embarrassing himself with his factless dribble.
Having to quote TW is a sign of desperation.
The market will eventually catch up and rerate this! A company on their way to £20mln plus annual revs , with an sp of 15p and Mcap of £32mln, is ridiculous. Take advantage while you can I say.
Nobody knows for sure who's selling. Some decent gains for new investors this week, could simply have been them keeping it down in this instance.
Fantastic update. Well on goal for the £24mill revs and triple digit YOY growth. Well done Gerry and all the DV team!
Dribbles, the EcowaterOS , 'MicrotoxPD' started out by attempting to detect Eboli in real-time. It has progressed massively and now includes the ability to detect Covid or any future pathogens. Do we want to risk another pathogen sneaking up on us or have the ability to nip it in the bud quickly, saving lives and billions of pounds worth of damage to the economy?

As for our other major role, protecting and enhancing the environment, we will do that over the next few years by monitoring the state of our air, water and soils, by regulating the industries which pose the biggest pollution risks, by enforcing the regulations which protect the environment, and by responding to significant pollution incidents to help stop the damage, clear up the mess, identify the cause and if necessary take action against those responsible.
With the new money we have got from the Spending Review we will also step up our efforts to improve water quality, including by increasing the number of inspections of the two main sources of water pollution - farms and sewage works; and by investing in the big water transfer schemes the EA runs which help reduce drought risk.
Couple of hundred days like today and we'll be nearing true value.

Massively so. This just mean the bounce will be higher once either the news drops or worse case scenario, when full year revs are announced. £24mill.

We've been lower than this ( the equivalent prior to consolidation) and hit '0.7p/70p' in quite a short period of time. When the right news drops it'll do the same and more imo. General market hysteria isn't going to scare me out of this. Patiently waiting for the biggie to land.
The question is, given that every bucket in every sewer in the country will test positive, what does that mean? “It’s a science in its infancy,” admits Engeli, who says they still don’t trust it as a measure of prevalence. Although faeces don’t suffer from sampling bias, every sewage works is different. Some deal with the waste from industry, some are just residential. The concentration of Covid in one might represent a completely different level of community infections compared to another. It might change depending on whether it has rained recently.
It will definitely change depending on the time of day. “Traditionally, you poo in the morning,” says Engeli, who confesses that since taking over the programme “I know more about sewage than I ever thought I would in my life”.
“The aim is to get the peak morning flow. When it comes down to it, people are quite routine about that,” he says.
While this means it is not great at estimating true prevalence, it is good at spotting trends. So long as you adjust for rainwater and sample at the same time, you can get a good idea of whether prevalence is increasing or decreasing in an area, and pass that information on to the NHS.
You can also test for variants of concern — tracking their spread across the country at a granularity just not possible by any other means.
This, though, is just the start.
Davey Jones, the Bangor University professor who is credited with pushing through wastewater surveillance early in the pandemic, and now works with the Welsh scheme, has bigger plans.
“Wastewater tells no lies,” he says. “What is interesting is Covid is going down now in national testing — but it’s partly because people are not being tested. Wastewater shows Covid is still very much amongst us.
“This is when wastewater comes into its own, because it catches everyone.” Now that they have set up the infrastructure this, he argues, will remain useful even as Covid becomes less of a concern. “Current national surveillance for a lot of pathogens is really poor.”
We know surprisingly little about the spread of many viruses, and especially antibiotic-resistant bacteria, often only picking them up when people become hospitalised.
This, he argues, is the true potential of wastewater. Imagine, for instance, if we caught outbreaks of norovirus in the sewer of university halls of residence, where it causes little harm, before it spread to care homes, where it does?
“We just don’t have good surveillance data. This is still an emerging science, but as time goes on we’ll get a much better handle on it.”
Back in the sewage treatment works Slade stands beside a skip filled with the random detritus pulled from Reading’s sewers. There are rubber gloves, wet wipes, and a Brio train. There appears to be a rotting pigeon.
There is also, we now know, something invisible but even more unsavoury: a lot of coronavirus.
Barry Slade has an easy affinity for effluent. “After 33 years it’s normal to me,” he says, casually cradling two plastic bottles of murky brown water in the way a tennis player would hold some Evian.
When sewers need sampling, Slade is the man with the bucket and disposable gloves. “I’ve found everything,” he says, shouting over the rushing sound of a river of effluent. “And nothing frightens me any more”. Although, for the past 18 months he has indeed been finding something new in his samples: coronavirus.
Slade is part of the latest arm of the UK Health Security Agency’s coronavirus surveillance system, an arm that it is hoped could soon be expanded to be a permanent feature of public health, monitoring the spread of disease in the population. What that means, in practice, is that three times a week Slade or a colleague goes Covid dipping in Reading’s sewers.
Over the past two years, in over 400 sites across the country, Britain has built from scratch one of the most extensive wastewater sampling operations in the world. The justification for this is simple. It doesn’t rely on people volunteering to give a sample. “We all poo somewhere,” says Andrew Engeli, of the UKHSA.
If you look at national testing data, you are just seeing the Covid-positive cases of those who chose to get tested. If you look at representative samples, like the Office for National Statistics’ Infection Survey, which involves thousands of tests taken at houses across the country every day, you are getting gold-standard surveillance, but at a phenomenal cost.
Defecation, though, is the great leveller. “The great advantage of wastewater,” says Engeli, “is it knows no community biases, it knows no behavioural biases.”
Already, the system is being used to monitor variants of concern and predict ventilator use. It has been shown in several studies that rising coronavirus prevalence in wastewater is an indication of rising coronavirus prevalence in hospital ten days later.Soon, it could well be adapted to other viruses such as flu, RSV and norovirus to become yet another Covid legacy that ends up a permanent fixture of UK public health surveillance. But the process, and the interpretation of what is found, has been far from simple.
Perhaps two hours before Slade lifted a manhole and dropped a bucket, someone in Reading went to the lavatory. That person had Covid.
Their waste was flushed into the local sewer, along with the genetic fragments of dead virus, and travelled into increasingly larger sewers. Buffeted and pounded, sloshed and splashed, the viral RNA mixed with the sewage, and viral fragments, of thousands of other Reading residents. Until, flowing at 1,000 litres per second, it made it to the Reading sewage treatment works, and Slade’s bucket.
When the contents of that bucket are sent to the laboratory, fragments of the RNA from their infection will mingle with those from other Reading infections and be amplified and picked up together.
