Well the full testing for the DARPA spec units will have to be conducted in a secure bio lab installation such as Porton Down.
There's never been a specification mentioned as such of the actual pathogens it's designed to combat but it's always been described as ALL etc.
But it's very encouraging news and the MoD recently awarded contact opens many doors to full on UK testing before prototypes are sent to the States.

General event:


Mick/all - tests must have gone well if they are showcasing...
"We will also be showcasing our Bio Threat Detection System, which also detects the Covid-19 virus."

Defo not a time to sell now IMO.

Doug, you could read from Kromek's Exhibition wording that they will be displaying a DARPA spec prototype at the event, a military rugidised unit intended to have 'full on Patho detection' capabilities.

The MoD have in effect financed a UK military version of the DARPA unit with their recent £400k contract and this project was well advanced towards the end of last year hence some confusion here when Kromek said field testing/trials were penciled in for early in the year.

Then they focused on the Covids+ prototypes.

""We will also be showcasing our Bio Threat Detection System, which also detects the Covid-19 virus.""

It will be very interesting to find out and see the publicity it gets, all the MoD and Gov and Military procurement bods will have first sight of one in the flesh and hear about its technology.

Doug is it possible to quote the sources

Re-posting this - a significant event IMO (good find 33mick):



"We have a range of handheld and wearable devices. Our flagship product, D5 RIID is the world’s smallest, lightest and safest RIID, which we will be demonstrating at the show. We will also be showcasing our Bio Threat Detection System, which also detects the Covid-19 virus."

DSEI 2021 will put integration in the spotlight as the UK Ministry of Defence and the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and UK Strategic Command work to develop and maintain organic integration at all levels and across all domains.

As British forces modernise to meet the demands of the information age, they do so with the understanding that success on the future battlefield requires integration across land, sea, air, cyber and space. Under the theme of ‘Integrated Response to Future Threats’ DSEI 2021 will be shaped to support this strategic shift with input from industry, academia, international partners and delegates.

RIID - Radiation Isotope / Radioisotope Identification Device

"Radioisotope Identification Devices (RIIDs) are instruments that are designed to
determine the identity of radioactive materials by measuring the energy of the
emitted gamma rays. Law enforcement, customs, and other personnel are being
equipped with RIIDs as part of a national strategy to interdict illicit movement of
radioactive material. When radiation sources are detected by screening devices
such as radiation portal monitors or radiation pagers, RIIDs are used to
determine whether the source of radioactivity constitutes a high level threat.
Radiological emergency personnel, firefighters and other response personnel
also use RIIDs for situational assessment during radiological emergencies."

Why are they well worth a watch again. 🥱

DSEI means 'defence & security exhibition international' & is the name of an exhibition held every two years. Not sure about RIID. 'D' is probably device.

shame, its following the downtrend of the past!

Watch "Breakthrough: Human and animal DNA can now be plucked out of the air" on YouTube



"And Pathogen's such as Covid 19"

Always surprises me how often AIM shares such as Kromek drift downwards. Then when there’s a public regurgitation of some old news to remind everyone of what’s on offer the share price surges. Just seen it at Metal Tiger... it slowly drifted down from 33p to 22p then some old news is regurgitation by Simon Thompson and it surges 25% in a day. The question is when will that happen to Kromek again

[fanramptastic mate] 09/8/2021 09:16

not too dissimilar to the UK government ?

[fruitloops101] 09/8/2021 09:14

What China say they are doing is mostly for Western consumption and bears scant relation to the truth

[aqc888] 09/8/2021 08:40

Plus globally, countries like China, who are still trying to achieve zero covid rates would be greatly interested in the machine

[aqc888] 09/8/2021 08:37

Personally I think with companies struggling to reassure staff to return to the office there will still be great demand for these machines from the private and education sector

[aqc888] 09/8/2021 08:34

Forecasts for this financial year are 75% achieved already, with zero sales of the bio pathogen detector included in those forecasts. So even in a mildly successful announcement including orders from a few governments (Kromek have already said they are in serious talks with a few governments). All such orders will be in addition to what’s forecast for Kromek, this year is already looking like it will exceed forecasts without the bio detector

[davethechef] 09/8/2021 08:23

They need to provide information on sizeable take-up of orders, not just repeat that the trials are very good. We've been told that.
Covid is diminishing in the U.K, the R number is below 1.0. I personally can't see them selling the Covid Detector in the numbers they'd hope in this country now; maybe transport hubs, some schools & hospitals but some other countries, worst affected(Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico)they should be concentrating on,
We need sales & production numbers now to excite the market I believe.

[fanramptastic mate] 09/8/2021 08:12

i'll be more than happy with 'very good'

[dogwalker] 09/8/2021 08:11

Yes but the positive results now need to be extra-super-positive given all the hype generated here now, thanks. What if the news is only what's expected i.e. very good?
