I almost bought a few a while ago and glad I waited. Was put off by the massive forecast jump for next year, for which there seemed little tangible evidence. Plus the apparent second half weighting, but with no real pattern to it, to underpin.

Also got Deltex already and one 'slow' (and that's an understatement) burner in medical is enough for me.

If it gets really cheap, I might have a few as it should surely be possible to get a few hundred thousand profit out of that turnover.

But I didn't like this ambiguity:

"should result in an improvement in margins and profitability which should be reflected in the second half of this financial year."

Does that mean the overall results for the year will be better than last, or that the second half will just be better than the first.

If its just the latter, its a bit of a disaster and they'll be nowhere near the 1p earnings from last year.

Oh dear. I feel fortunate I only had 3000 shares. Sold at the open.

[shanklin] 20/12/2013 07:23

A bit fortunate to have sold my modest holding at a small profit in late-November/early-December based on the share price drifting steadily downwards.

[doctorjohnson] 19/12/2013 08:51

Thanks, I didn't realise the previous years were January. It's not unusual that their not out yet then, that's ok.

Looking forward to results.

[gnnmartin] 18/12/2013 08:48

12th Dec last year, but 17 Jan the year before & 25 Jan the year before that.

[doctorjohnson] 13/12/2013 08:57

Anyone have any info on results date?

[genie] 05/12/2013 22:14

Thanks for the welcome Nick.

[illtud] 05/12/2013 21:22

Thanks Nick. Good to see you here as well.

Bought into this baby in the last few days. Looks cheap to me. Fingers crossed....

[nick2008] 05/12/2013 18:30

Genie, A25, illtud - Guys, good to see you all here. Welcome! Last year interims were declared on 12th Dec so not long me thinks before we get an update here. Nick.

[illtud] 02/12/2013 17:12

The whole stockmarket seems to be down today, so SDI is just following the trend.

Needs to remain above this line of resistance imho.

What.s up with this poxy co., thought we were on an uptick, or these MM games, notice I use singular as probably only one, owned shares once in TSTL., beginning to remind me of them!

[genie] 25/11/2013 16:40

Decided to join you lads today and have a small punt here, 25K initially.

My understanding is the NHS recommendations are framed that X should happen , in this case equipment should be cleaned to give a certain result , and its up to others then to buy the product that does X. Its not about choosing one company over another. Hopefully they then use Pro-Reveal.

[gnnmartin] 21/11/2013 00:38

Nick, thanks for those. The CFPP-01-01 recommendation was published last March.

The paper consists of five parts. They do not mention Pro-Reveal by name, but part A talks about the use of Sypro Ruby which "is capable of revealing proteins in subnanogram quantities per mm2", so I thought at first that Sypro Ruby must be the lab name for ProReveal, but a Google quickly shows that is not so. I must ask sometime for the relationship between the two (if any).

And this

ProReveal test detects proteins on surgical instruments - 13 Nov 2013


"The patented, ultra-sensitive ProReveal test combines a test kit and viewer with an easy-to-use touch screen and software. In just two simple spray and see steps, users can detect nanogram levels of protein contamination, no matter where it is located on a surgical instrument, in less than 5 minutes.

The product aligns with the protein contamination testing recommendations in the UK's new NHS CFPP-01-01 consultation document. "

Just noticed that no one has posted on here - very quiet indeed...so thought I should post something :)


Quick googled around - found that SDI had a stand at Medica 2013 düsseldorf 20-23 november 2013




Synoptics Health
Hall 1 Stand F11
Beacon House, Nuffield Road, Cambridge, CB4 1TF
Tel: [phone]

Email: [e-mail]
Web: www.synopticshealth.com
Synoptics Health will be featuring the new ProReveal Fluorescence Detection Test. ProReveal is a patented fluorescence based, highly sensitive protein detection test for checking the presence of residual protein on surgical instruments after washing. The test is both visual and quantitative and removes any doubt as to whether a cleaned instrument is fit for reprocessing. ProReveal offers a fast, effective and highly sensitive test for protein detection as an alternative to the 'swabbing techniques' used in many SSDs. With the ProReveal test the whole instrument is checked for protein not just a small 'swabbed' area.

This can only be positive news with Herald Investments at nearly 10%. Alongside Octopus inv, Herald are the other institutional holder I like to see taking an interest.

Another new software launched - This company is the one be watched now.......

NEW SynStats Software for Antibiotic and Vaccine Developers




Kate George of SDI's Synbiosis Division explained: "Microbiologists producing data to measure antibiotic effectiveness or vaccine potency often have large numbers of Excel spreadsheets containing data to transfer and analyse. This can be a time consuming and potentially risk prone activity because the figures do not always transfer across directly into statistical analysis packages and can require additional manual manipulation. What they need is analysis software which is compliant with US and European regulations that they can input raw zone measurement or colony count numbers into and easily obtain vaccine or antibiotic efficacy results out from, without them having to become statistics experts."

Kate added: "Our ProtoCOL 3 design team has responded to this need with extensive development work. We believe that the resulting powerful software will significantly de-risk the data transfer, as well as increase throughput of antibiotic and vaccine testing in any pharma or biotech which chooses to integrate the SynStats analysis software with their ProtoCOL 3 automated technology."

Chart looking strong and moving towards the 26p break out target from earlier this year. If Proreveal is continuing to gain traction, we might see a trading update next month.
