ANALYSTS have suggested Omega Diagnostics may sell around £2 million of its highly-anticipated HIV test in 2015.
Edison Investment Research said it believes pilot studies for the CD4 test, which sees if white blood cells have fallen to a level where retroviral drug treatment is needed, could start in the first half of next year with "significant sales" in the following 12 months.
The research note also indicates a full launch for Omega's 40 automated allergy tests for the iSYS system used in laboratories around the world may now be in mid-2015.
Edison predicted revenue at Omega in its 2015 financial year will be more than £14m with profit before tax coming in around £2.4m.
The company is expected to post revenue of around £11.5m in the 12 months to March 2014 with profits of £700,000.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
