Winter demand will rise to 500,000 tests per day! A license to print money for anyone with an accurate test!

Bamboo...thank you

Probably Bruce doubling up. :o)

Lols. But at least I hadn't sold!
Did anyone hear the interview with John Bell this morning on COVID testing, R4?
Tune into it. And listen particularly carefully to the bit towards the end, when he's talking about the ill-advised *Moonshot*, and possible testing platforms.

lasata, CE is a common standard used on all sorts of electrical and other equipment and products. It means certain regulations for health and safety etc have been adhered to during design and manufacture. It is often seen on medical equipment.

At its root is a duty of care that goods should perform the task for which they are produced and that they should be fit for purpose.

There is loads on the net about it.

We are discussing CE in relation to the new CV19 diagnostics being produced by ONT

What are the "CE marks" please?

Is looking up. Could run towards 90p ish. About time.

[bamboo2] 15/9/2020 09:45

Chart looking better.

CE marks take around 6-8 weeks.

The process was started approx 3/8/2020, so news could be soon, as we are approaching the six week mark now.

[bamboo2] 14/9/2020 21:47

Bruce, The CE mark is being fast tracked, but I don't know when they will get the green light, but it should be very soon.

UK govt can legitimately buy now, but the rest of Europe will need the rubber stamp.

Good pick up in the price today.

Hi Bamboo,

Yes indeed, and thanks for reminding.

A brief google finds this, concerning the infamous *Moonshot* towards getting universal testing

"Finally, private sector organisations would be empowered to deliver testing in workplaces.

Beyond saliva testing, which has not yet been proved to work although it is promising, moonshot depends on a new generation of rapid antigen tests becoming available.

The DHSC has already contracted to buy some of them off the drawing board. It signed a deal with Oxford Nanopore, a young biotech company spun off from Oxford University, for a rapid test that can be turned around in 90 minutes before it had even gained its CE mark."

I haven't sold yet.

Hi Bruce,

I agree the last six weeks have seemed a bit of a drag, but I would urge you to look into some of the detail surrounding the C19 LAMP test, that has been published.

Lots of patience needed. The dash pile is there for a reason and will come in handy.

Hi Bruce,

I agree the last six weeks have seemed a bit of a drag, but I would urge you to look into some of the detail surrounding the C19 LAMP test, that has been published.

Simply put, it looks to me like LAMP is not only being used for swab and saliva in its own right, but it is so accurate and reliable, that it is also being used to validate, or otherwise, the alternate methods of C19 tests!

It is obvious that there will be no one test that is outright winner in the govt evaluation that is currently under way, but it has to mean that ONT is certain to be chosen for a substantial part of the new testing regime.

[brucie5] 12/9/2020 12:04

I'm in danger of losing patience with this one. I always knew it wouldn't do an AVCT, but there doesn't appear to have been any real momentum to speak of from its key stake in Oxford Nano. Now if Nano were listed, I might just ditch IPO and buy that instead.

[bamboo2] 12/9/2020 11:31

peerstrader, Thanks for the spam[not].

It's not often we are considered worthy of spam.

[bamboo2] 12/9/2020 08:58

rambutan, your instincts are correct. I have had a reply from Aberforth. They have no IPO. They will be requesting on Monday that FT check their facts.

[bamboo2] 11/9/2020 14:00

rambutan, I have had a very prompt reply from IR. They included a screenshot of page 32 of the recent hy2020 results which lists significant shareholders over 2%, as of 30/6/2020



Aberforth does not appear on the list, so I have forwarded my enquiry to them for clarification.

[bamboo2] 11/9/2020 13:40

tt5, yes, I am keeping a long term holding, and attempting to trade a small amount.

I currently have 70% of my normal [maximum] holding here.

[techtrader5] 11/9/2020 12:13

Are you presently long bamboo?

[bamboo2] 10/9/2020 23:25

rambutan, I have emailed IR at the co for confirmation, and asked why there is no associated holdings RNS. Will update here.

[rambutan2] 08/9/2020 20:52

bamboo2, I would be very surprised if that is correct. They are old style value income investors. IPO would blow up their portfolio models!

[bamboo2] 08/9/2020 20:31

Exyn Tech.

IP Group has a 28.4% stake.

This co. makes aerial robots for use in surveying in mining and other industries. They have just signed a collaboration deal with Sandvik.

[bamboo2] 07/9/2020 23:11

I saw this on the FT Equities page under Institutional Shareholders.

Aberforth Partners LLP
AS OF 02 AUG 2020
161.90m 15.24%

I can't remember seeing the name before, although I could easily have got mixed up with other holdings. I can't seem to find a recent holdings rns. Anyone able to shed any light?

There have been numerous large transfers of shares that have not resulted in a buyers rns over the last six to eight months. We do have quite a few rns on the sale side from Invesco, whom we know is struggling to raise capital for redemptions.

[bamboo2] 07/9/2020 13:21

Nothing much showing in the trade record so far, but could be a late trade yet to be reported.

[p1nkfish] 07/9/2020 13:05

Biggish spike then fall back?
