Likya123 - Odx tests for antibodies only. These tell you if you have had the virus in the past not if you are presently infected. NCYT has both, very accurate and cost saving.

Out of curiosity, what are the revenues/ profits for Omega?How many countries does it supply to & how many governments are involved?

Former French Health Director (William Dab) on BFM (French TV tonight)- the only solution to get away with this: strict lockdown (several weeks) to curb the epidemic then to deconfinement: test, trace, isolate.... as in China.... CQFD- In the short term, the vaccine is not a means of controlling the epidemic...vaccinated + immunity acquired in the French population = 15 to 20 %(too little)- virus mutates quickly and easily, we can't vaccinate everyone at the same time... so virus adapts to vaccines, messenger RNA technology will allow for vaccine modifications- no interest in the ?? vaccination passport ?? because even the best vaccines are not 100 % effective and the duration of immunity they confer is unknown...

Government scaling down labs and pushing LFT's.

Novacyt will struggle to maintain revenue streams from here. Best to reinvest in Omega.

For those that have seen mass testing from car parks around the country they will now get used to seeing surge testing. Then they will have to change their mindset..infections are going down as novacyts clinical testing is rising.

The available vaccins do not protect enough against the Brazilian variant that reached Europe and the UK. Sequencing will therefore be the next challenge all over the world. With its advanced test platforms, NCYT can help in identifying the new variants. So in addition to its own testing. NCYT will help in detecting new mutations for every positive test found elsewhere by other companies.

They also have 550 different tests
From animals to agriculture
A truly awe inspiring company. And last weeks webinar show the respect they are gaining in the markets that they are involved in..

Novacyt do a two gene test for the french market
And can test for all the new variants.

[pastiche21] 28/2/2021 19:30

No, Novacyt's test doesn't do gene sequencing.

Ps. Filter and post normally.

We move into the second third of the first half tomorrow.
Why does it take so long to get these results rns.d Can an update for the second half be issued before the final results.??
Due to the non disclosure clauses and the use of financial derivatives surely 5 months is an excessive amount of time to not know how your company finances were five months previous.
Just having a whinge as two months wait looks more than enough.

Brazil variant 'of concern' now discovered in UK.From BBC website "Public health officials are investigating the six cases and are deploying more testing to see if it has spread to more people. Some variants, like this one, appear to be more contagious and there are concerns vaccines may not work quite so well against them."More surge testing will be needed.Test Test Test

Novacyt's existing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 portfolio remains highly accurate in detecting all published SARS-CoV-2 variants. The launch of the new SNPsig® portfolio complements and expands the Company's offering into the rapidly evolving requirement for PCR genotyping of variants.
