From a local Surrey newspaper, the Farnham Herald. 'Register for a test online at https://test.ntlbiologica.com, pick your time slot from the available appointments, pay the £60 fee (David Lloyd members get a discount) and you’ll be emailed a ticket for your testing. The appointment itself takes less than 15 minutes and involves a small blood sample being taken from a fingertip. That’s it – head home and wait for the results. These will be emailed to you within 12 hours of the test being completed. A spokesman for NTL Biologica says: “We have sourced the best testing equipment from South Korea, one of the few countries leading the world testing and infection control, and will continue to upgrade when improved tests become available. “Studies show this test is reliable in detecting a past infection with 96 per cent accuracy. When there are no antibodies, this will be negative 97 per cent of the time.” This test looks for two types of antibodies – IgG and IgM. IgM antibodies are produced in the short term after infection, whereas IgG is produced in a more delayed timescale.' Quelle surprise. Who they are - https://ntlbiologica.com/ They don't seem to have a chairman any longer but Graney has had several other company appointments, from some of which he has resigned. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/wC7YqostYuUKvBznjWZsdIisc18/appointments |
