Kromek Share Discussion Threads

[nick2412] 01/9/2021 15:57

AGM next week (Wednesday 8th Sept) and each day getting closer to trial results and the bio-threat detector machines being ready for market. No surprise to see the share price slowly but surely trend upwards. No attendance allowed at the AGM but does anyone know the email address for submitting questions for the AGM please? They reference it in the rns of 13th August as below but I couldn't see the email address. I'll check on the website if nobody has the info readily to hand.

Harold, at airports it’s all about keeping new variants out of the country. Don’t think the U.K. are worried about people coming into contact with positive cases anymore. The detector would be placed at boarding gates and any new variants or variants of concern would be prevented from entering

I remember when the detectors were placed in trials at airports and schools a few months ago. Even though it was widely known the trials would start, the share price spiked upwards on the day and it appeared as a news story in the media. Hopefully the same will be true when the results are aired.

Hope the same is true when the results of the detectors performance is announced

Could the covid detector be used like a breathalyzer ? A room detector taking 30 minutes would be of limited use for covid detection at an airport but a smaller instant one with a disposable mouthpiece would be brilliant .

Seems well in demand this morning. Can't but tiddly-squat! And sell near mid & in quantity.
Should pop north later

What about kmk’s pathogen detectors. Detectors v purifiers. Will they work together in harmony? Why are these detectors not placed in schools, or, mentioned on BBC news? ………;……

Indeed AQC, re increased terrorism threat from the awful Afghanistan debacle & beyond.
I suggested the same a week or so ago here, their unique & award winning products fit the bill to help in detecting some of these awful threats

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

Detecting airborne Covid-19: The machine that sniffs the air

"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.

[nick2412] 26/8/2021 18:39

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

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 ?

[aqc888] 24/8/2021 20:30

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.

[aqc888] 24/8/2021 20:24

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.
