Fact check:
#Novacyt Exsig underwent Clinical & NHS validation

👇 Wrong:
"So in essence if you look you will not find a document (that I have ever seen) saying Exsig formally passed its in service trial in relation to the contract whereas you will find one for Promate"

#ALNOV
For supposed researched person, he's lazy. His thesis called out #Novacyt's 3rd party manufacturing for lowering margins

#ALNOV "invests in infrastructure to bring previously outsourced work in-house & to drive further automation, leading to improved margins & process controls"

That's nice. PROmate, as part of the national microbiology framework has it's own contract.

The £4m amount until next Year has been announced by @NovacytGroup a few weeks ago. But without any minimal amount secured as stated.

“primary challenge for COVID-19 diagnostics companies is ensuring their products continue to accurately test for the virus, regardless of the variant, and to innovate at the challenging pace required to remain clinically relevant"

First, the FY2020 results are better than in the last forecast.

Actual vs previous forecast
Revenue 311m vs 287m
Cash 101m vs 79m

The cash accumulated will allow them to develop themselves into a "high margin clinical diagnostics" sector.

Revenues and forecast.

Things are really important here.
We Can see the revenues decrease until 2023 on this forecast.

But look at the cash accumulation. This will not sit in the bank and wait !

So, when they use this cash for aquisitions for ex.,

Summary and vision of the rns "Advances in Research & Development"

- NPT
- Promate
- rt-lamp
- antigen test
- Danish strain test
- it-is production
- conclusion

1/8
Npt:

More than convincing results on a large sample:

- S&S greater than 99%
- Quick results
- mid-nose sample

We can calmly assume:

➡️ a contract with nursing homes will arrive
➡️That the contract with the NHS will enter phase 2

2/8
Promate and NPT:

New reagents:

- simplified use
- less reagents needed and lyophilized
- reduction of the duration of a test
- viral inactivation: less protection needed

➡️ Facilitate the use of Qs in small hospitals and nursing homes
➡️ New Contracts

Nouveau réactifs :

- utilisation simplifiée

A tous ceux qui croient que les tests sont finis, que ncyt retourne a la cave, que cette entreprise ne vaut rien, que le covid, c'est le passé, que les vaccins arrivent

Les études en cours sont plus que précoces, sur de petirséchantillons, avec de nouvelles technologies jamais testées, et sans recul !

Bien évidemment, si un vaccin sûr venait à anéantir cette pandémie, j'en serait plus qu'heureux. Mais ce n'est pas encore le cas, et de loin
