#novacyt has a great capacity in identifying the needs of the market.
Many tests developped this year respond to precise needs
And there are many more to Come this year

- promate & its future

Little History.
- covid-HT was specificly developped for the AZN lighthouse lab in Cambridge
- Winterplex was one of the first of his kind, developped to answer the needs of NHS

- mink strain test : theyre the first ones, again, for this test, who could have had a sognificant importance if this strain had spread

- Bird flu test : a welcomed surprise, but highly important with the outbreaks occuring in France, UK, and other UE contries
And that's just a part of the developped tests in 2020
It is clear ncyt knows what the market needs, and react quiclky with the R&D team

Now, they've created PROmate, wich is just an Amazing test !
Rapid, secure, accurate,...
Already validated by TVG when 84 other tests have failed.

But PROmate is also a New workflow, wich could be adjusted for many infectious diseases. Aids, Ebola, etc.
Having Quick and most importantly secure pcr for all kind of diseases would be some breakthrough !

Knowing theyre able to create it for covid should indicate us its only a Matter of Time for the rest of the catalogue.
This is something i would call a game changer !
I have no doubts, promate will be very appreciated by nhs staff, and phase2 IS a Matter of Time too.

Promate is just a part of whats coming soon.
The rt-lamp is coming too.
In medical settings, or else, this will be a great add to the portfolio.
Having accurate results in ~20min, would simplify the work in urgency settings, airports, dental services and much more.

The antibody LFT is arriving too.
Why now ? Because the needs of the market for such a product are just beginning. It is with the vaccine rollout that this test have all his meaning.
Just look At the incoming tenders in UK !

We have something unknown incoming : VariPLEX
Having a PCR able to precisely identify wich variant you're infected with has many advantages
Maybe VariPLEX is something else, but a test for variants is imho definitly coming

First example : It is a needed test :
A study is telling us :
"To contain and study this [UK] variant, it is necessary to develop a specific molecular test to uniquely identify it"

Second example : sequencing is long :
Sequencing in canada :
To find if you have a variant, until know you need to do sequencing.
Duration : 3 to 4 days !
Canada is also asking for New assays to rapidly identify a variant.

Third example : the costs of sequencing.
UKcog has a Big sequencing capability.
But even with this, just the reagents cost between 20 and 40£
(Add to this infrastructure,staff, instruments)

A french lab Director in France is also indicating the approximative cost of one sequencing : 220€

To recap :
- sequencing is expensive & Time consuming
- not all countries have the money and the infrastructures for sequencing
- countries are asking for New tests detecting speficly the variants
Having a test that gives you an answer in a few hours is game changing

#ncyt has now a well build foundation
#novacyt keeps innovating needed products
#alnov has a great future in front of them, and as GM told us, this is just the beginning
They are working hard, and the results are easy to see
A well deserved Bravo to @PrimerdesignLtd
