Surges,
You are reflecting the way information has been dispensed. Many of us have been critical of that and the speed of action. However you are on the wrong path if you think Anteo will not succeed. Anteo from analysis against the best has the best overall RAT system and the only one that allows testers to undertake their activities in an orderly manner without negative consequences (this being due exclusively to the Anteo technology providing a more stable environment). Anteo life sciences is now capable of producing and selling gold standard POC products to the world.

The saliva testing was not a failure. The issue, very badly explained was the difficulty in obtaining quality reliable samples to test. What Derek tried to impart is that taking a saliva sample is likely not to have any Covid antigen when compared to a pharyngeal sample. All companies have experienced this. Therefore the results would be unreliable. (On an aside this is a significant problem with home tests and why the Australian government requires properly trained people to take a sample when anyone gets tested. Home testing will always suffer from this and if someone is +ve there will be a good chance of being right but there will be a lot of +ve cases missed due to low effective sensitivity from poor samples). Anteo did exactly the right thing, they sort out other sources that were non-invasive to get a good sample. We were advised that the nose and the back of the throat are good in the recent webinar and will be utilised by Anteo. The last thing we would want is for the testing to be unreliable, you will no doubt have seen the issues with Roche and Abbott recently.

You are critical of the influence of the TGA registration. The TGA is highly thought of world wide. That does not mean it is an absolute green tick for registration in a country but it certainly makes getting a green tick easier and quicker. The criticism made of the company is that this should have been sought when the CE mark was applied for. Derek also said India would have granted registration if Anteo had TGA mark without any further work in that country.

On Ellume it will not be the Anteo product that is a problem, much more likely to be a batch of Antibodies that would be consistent with the recall.

Anteo is on the verge of great things both in life sciences and batteries. People like me criticise the slowness and way some decisions are made.; timing of the TGA application is an example.
