Raising funds for Antibody Tests
3rd April 2020why is this different?
As we're sure you are all aware Public Health England (PHE) has now realised the importance of mass testing. The race is on to identify the most reliable testing kit. The test we have identified uses similar principles to other testing kits but the use of colloidal gold we believe makes a big difference. Colloidal gold is a medium within the test which appears superior to the bacterial derived medium of other tests available. The validity of the test we propose to use is in the order of 98%. Final independent verification of validity is being carried out in respected international university laboratories and the results should be available next week.
We have been advocating for mass testing for the last two weeks - it is now clear that the government guided by PHE now appreciate this strategy due to the extensive media coverage.
Our goal continues to be mass testing of as many people as possible, as soon as possible.
Our belief is that front-line staff should be tested first due to their dedication and the risks they face.
We are not attempting to compete with the government - we will work alongside them - we seek to complement not compete.
Thank you.
