Haven't seen this version before, an update from a previous article.

"The ongoing, ever changing Covid-19 pandemic has seen the aviation industry adapt to new challenges, regulations, and guidelines to keep passengers and staff safe."

Teesside seems to be leading the way with new Covid tech.
Another article from the same site.

Teesside Airport’s terminal to feature new Covid sanitiser technology
23 Aug 2021 (Last Updated August 23rd, 2021 15:02)
The new technology has been designed to sanitise the air passing through the air-conditioning system.

Agreed Nick, a sell of that size would normally drop the share price even though the large buy; but both within same minutes, suggests as you say.
Similarly, I suggested the likeness to ITM some weeks ago, British Technology Co(hydrogen) which had plenty of ups & downs sp, delays; then shot up on some big global companies taking a stake, showing interest etc.

It's possible the large trades on either side - which didn't impact the price or even level 2 - were transfers of some sort but it's hard to know for sure as the spread for the trades were the usual bid /offer price and normally it would be narrower.

I added earlier in the week. The company reminds me, in terms of potential and its recent unloved sentiment, of ITM before the massive rise. No guarantees it will follow suit of course but imo it has the potential to do so.

Someone in the know?………… unfortunately there was a 500000 sell (£92,500.00) at the same time. Hope that’s not someone in the know!

[davethechef] 26/8/2021 13:48

Someone in the know!?!
A 323k buy, £61k Delayed buy.
Haven't seen a buy like that for sometime.
Encouraging

For those following the story...

Am topping up this morning while we have the current dip…..

[strategicinvestor2] 24/8/2021 21:43

Do you think we will get an RNS progress update ahead of the event ?

Could be the perfect place to launch a biological pathogen detector... it fits in with Simon Thompson’s ‘couple of months’ guidance of when to expect news and ‘commercialisation before the end of year’ comments.

Just been doing a little research into what this dsei defence exhibition on the 14th September is about, to get an idea if it might be a suitable place for Kromek to unveil/ launch their detector... looks promising.

So the theme of the show this year is ‘Integrated Response to Future Threats’ DSEI 2021

From DSEI summary of the event
... The focus on integration has been highlighted by the immense global impact of COVID-19 , and the enforced understanding that robust national resilience relies on more than fire power. With our adversaries increasingly posing non-military threats, greater instinctive integration is required at all levels of the defence community to ensure the UK remains ahead of the challenges that lie ahead.

Simithy, Nanopore Sequencing can read all RNA DNA in Pathogens, Virus, Bactria, & Moulds including Anthrax with the advantage of being able to be programmed to look for certain ones only. ie ignoring benign materials.

This article from Feb written from a software perspective explains the tech very well and it's amazing potential.

'Sequencing your DNA with a USB dongle and open source code - Stack Overflow Blog'

"It takes the most exquisite measurements you can imagine, measuring the changes in current associated with different bits of DNA,” he explains. “This is happening at the level of pico-amps—one-trillionth of an amp measurement—and we can get these readings in real time.” Five years ago, the equipment needed for this work would have been restricted to serious research facilities. Today, for about a thousand dollars, you can purchase a nanopore sequencer as a peripheral that connects to any computer via USB."

Took a few more earlier.
Yesterday on Kromek's twitter account Kromek have been short listed for Make UK Manufacturing Awards - Innovation Award for their D5 R11D

Sod it!?! Took an initial re- entry, just in case it whooshing! & /or news appears suddenly.
Nice flurry of buys. A wee bounce from a similar price where it fell last week.
So maybe 18p or thereabouts is support.
Seems to be on the evidence of today & last week on the two morning dips.

[davethechef] 24/8/2021 09:39

Where's the support price? Anyone's guess!?!
If Kromek have sizeable orders negotiated for their Covid Detector or any other news; it's price sensitive information & needs to be released to the market immediately.
So with no appearance of above, one must summaise this hasn't happened yet unfortunately.
Working, in contact, with other Government's intentionally, Kromek have said. All sounded very positive weeks ago, but yet too be convinced.
Looking at a sizeable entry once again, but I need further confirmation.

Does nanopore technology have the required specificity for Covid?

[aqc888] 21/8/2021 17:07

The pandemic was only declared 18months ago?...

[aqc888] 21/8/2021 17:06

The current valuation of 18p seems to take zero account of the possibility of the detector working. Seems incredibly harsh given the positive news flow regarding the detector

[charlotte2020] 21/8/2021 17:01

He's been saying that for 18 months now

[aqc888] 21/8/2021 16:59

When positive news is released, (I’m hoping that will be at the defence exhibition on the 14th September) expect any positive news to be quickly amplified by Simon Thompson of IC. I’d expect at this point for the share price to go to “28p and we’ll beyond” as ST states in his last article

[aqc888] 21/8/2021 16:47

Equity Development forecast in their article that the detector could raise Kromeks market cap upwards by 69p per share. They value Kromek without the detector at 24p

Dekle, Kromek recently raised £13million for the purpose of commercialising this detector
