Who’s Lol? 🥴🤔

Lol, you really are a sad act.

[dexter1612] 23/9/2021 14:07

There she is!! Unfortunately I can't block your name coming up....thankfully its a blank space, which is better than your contributions.

[b00mb0y] 23/9/2021 14:06

Must be down on his investment like most of us here.

[dexter1612] 23/9/2021 14:01

I see that bellend Boom boy is still posting. What we got now?

[b00mb0y] 23/9/2021 12:48

Just as expected on that great news. share price drops again. Come on rampers. Let’s see if we can get 33mick on News at Ten. That should get the share price up

[b00mb0y] 23/9/2021 10:26

Come on, 33mick. Your overramping there. That should say “upto US$1.6min” see quepassa earlier post.

Kromek receives US$1.6mln contract for nuclear radiation detector

[33mick] 23/9/2021 08:35

Talking about the possible sales of the full spectrum Bio dection system for the US defence department ongoing requirements.
This 2nd article I just seen mentions the estimate unit costs...other articles have talked about a network of 10's of 1000's...9000 was the last number I recall.
This makes Kromek's KAP scan a very attractive and cost effective technology.

DHS Seeks Contractors to Improve Urban BioThreat Classification Sensor
DETECTION BIOLOGICAL
PUBLISHED ON 22 SEPTEMBER 2021.

*Contractors shall deliver two instruments of the same version for each of the of development prototype phases. The government anticipates the sensors per unit cost will be between $125K (threshold) and $65K (objective)."

Did you view the Smiths video?

[aqc888] 23/9/2021 08:13

Especially when you consider these figures take no account of potential sales of the biological pathogen detector

[aqc888] 23/9/2021 08:10

Given Kromek already have revenue making up 75% of analysts forecasts for the year and they have another 6 months to make up the rest, I wouldn’t see this extra ‘upto’ figure of £585k for the year as a negative sign for Kromeks revenue for the year as you make out

[aqc888] 23/9/2021 08:02

“With global defence and security spend on the rise around the world in response to volatile international relations, we expect to receive further orders for our nuclear security products, contributing to our significant anticipated revenue growth for this year and our pipeline for the years ahead.”

It's another "UP TO" contract.


up to $1.6m = £1.17m

or annualised

UP TO £585,000 p.a. over 2 years.


who can say/know/guess what the realistically likely amounts are when an "up to" figure is given?

wouldn't it be better if they said what the initial concrete size of the contract was with possibility of increasing up to x?

Can we expect a drop in the share price then on that news?

[dougmachin] 23/9/2021 07:26

Some news...

Kromek (AIM: KMK), a worldwide supplier of detection technology focusing on the medical, security screening and nuclear markets, announces that it has received a contract worth up to $1.6m from a US federal entity for the Group's D3S-ID wearable nuclear radiation detector that is designed to enable first responders, armed forces, border security and other CBRN experts detect radiological threats. The contract will be delivered over two years commencing immediately.

Quepassa, according to Hill at Equity Development the global market for the covid biological pathogen detector is estimated at £500m with Kromek gaining 20% on 52% profit from memory, (sales of the wider spectrum pathogen detector aren’t included in this). The smiths detector from what I remember needs collected samples to be sent to a lab?.. The Kromek detector has also mopped up around £10m in funding from the U.K. and US governments to develop the machine (not shareholders cash). The current valuation of Kromek does not include any potential sales of either of the biological pathogen detectors.

Isn't this piece of kit from Smiths Detection an airborne pathogen detector??

Not that I'm aware of Simithy I've researched all the bio/Patho airborne competition and as far as I know Philips have no product or news in this area.
But they could in the future who knows.
There are recognised Militarily grade detection companies that are in the area, all using filter cassette collection and send to lab or trigger and lab confirmation.
Flir, Smith's, Northrop Grumman + others...but Kromek's design is unique in its use of a special highly accurate UK RNA sequencing platform.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about Philips ...it would only take seconds to add a link yes

[simithy] 21/9/2021 13:49

I think Philips have/had a stake in this game? IMO

The US defence spec has changed a few times over the years, but the listed design spec below is as far as I can see the exact functional spec of Kromek s just displayed KAP scan full spectrum DARPA design.

BD21 Biosensor Redesign: DHS Seeks Contractors to Improve Urban BioThreat Classification Sensor
by Global Biodefense Staff

September 3, 2021

"The Department of Homeland Security CWMD Research & Development division is seeking information from contractors capable of supporting its requirements for the development of more affordable aerosol biosensors that operate and alert in real time and are capable of detecting and characterizing or identifying biological agents in operational environments"

"The DHS CWMD office intends to deploy biosensors in both indoor and outdoor urban environments to conduct real-time monitoring of biological threats and seeks industry to continue research and development efforts in order to meet characterization and cost goals. The redesign of the commercially available biosensors is being proposed to occur over 15 months and will take place in 2 phases, to include: the design of at least 2 prototypes that will be tested by the performer followed by an opportunity for a prototype redesign before delivering the final prototypes to the government for an independent operational background test and chamber test."

Minimum requirements for the sensors include:

Capable of accurately detecting and classifying Category A and B biological agents in environmental aerosols with varying levels of background particles.

Capable of continuous monitoring of aerosols.

Capable of sending alerts to an operator after detection, characterization and/or preliminary identification within a maximum time of 30 minutes.

Ability to differentiate between biological and non-biological particles while rejecting benign particles that are common interferents such as brake dust and diesel smoke.

Sensors must be capable of classification of biological particles to a Kingdom level at minimum (bacteria, virus, toxin, spore).

Sensor differentiation of particles should reduce false alarms in urban operational environments to a level of < 3 alarms/day.

Sensors must be capable of detecting down to a 1um particle size at concentrations relevant to a 3kg (threshold), 0.5kg (objective) times aerosolized release based on biological particle type.

Boomboy, if you believe that Kromek have no IP regarding this detector and it’s just other companies technology why have you got 40% of your portfolio invested here? It doesn’t make much sense...

33mick has been suggesting for quite sometime that in his opinion nanopore technology was likely to be the technology Kromek are basing their detector on...
