Sona Nanotech Inc C.SONA

Scientific Notation LOD

[TheeRook]

In the news release they incorrectly  state  the LOD.   If anyone not of  a science type or forgot .

limit of detection (LOD) of 2.1 by 102 TCID50    .  Does not = 2.1   or 2.1  x 102

This actually mean    2.1  x 10 ^ 2     =  2.1  x 100    =   210

  10^2    means   10 to the power of 2   = 100


Sona Nanotech Inc.'s rapid detection, COVID-19 antigen test's laboratory validation studies of performance levels have resulted in a test sensitivity of 96 per cent, test specificity of 96 per cent and a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.1 by 102 TCID50. Sales of the tests will now be permitted under a research-use-only label until full regulatory authority is granted, in relevant territories, at which time the research-use-only label requirement would be lifted, as discussed herein.

Which is incredible !!   And your point is?  Sorry I missed it with all the gasping at your explanation  

[buy2009]

Did you honestly think that some calculated 2.1 x 102 iin a standard format for LOD?  Really! No i didnt think so  

[TheeRook]

Look back at all the messages comparing Sonas LOD  to Qdels and BDs.  Claiiming   Sonas  LOD     is better than   Qdels 140  or BDs   110   .

[shoosh22]

Back off or I am going to forward your posts to Sona's legal department for spreading false information...  

[TheeRook]

 Wow I'm scared for posting what was released in the   PR News.

[shoosh22]

Didn't you read what was circulated a few weeks back... Posters, 10 of them in Ontario each fined 35,000. for spreading false information.. A couple of people in B.C. also very heavily fined.. Watch yourself there... . Material News is regulated by CSE and OSE   

[TheeRook]

Maybe U should send a message to SONA  investors Relation that   the PR news formatter is not working "" limit of detection (LOD) of 2.1 by 102 TCID50 "" Should be       2.1  X  10^2    TCID50 SEE  some people do not know Scientific Notation.

You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel. You are pushing Viemed who have nothing to do with testing and BD whose test is so inferior to Sona´s that it´s share price has risen the staggering amount of 6% since it was given FDA approval. The market speaks for itself. Sona jumped 122% on Validation and has risen more than double BD´s rise in the last few days with no news

[hemi3tc]

U seem to not know much.  Same as your name.? Comparing BD with Qdel and Sona is a muggs game. So BD only went up 6%.   That's because this testing is only a small part of the companies revenue.   BD is a huge company.  For Sona this is it's first product to make money. As for  comparing BDs test with Qdels and Sonas.    They all use

[whatdoiknow123]

The BD test does have a place in the testing spectrum but the following points should be borne in mind: 1. In the battle against Covid and the desire to identify as many +ve carriers as possible, in order to isolate, prevent from travel, allow access to workplace, sporting events etc, the main aim is to try not to miss too many Covid+ve patients. To this end the Sensitivity is much more important

[whatdoiknow123]

Moemoney, once again you present false info on alternative tests that you maintain are a better alternative to Sona. Despite the passing of several days we are still waiting for the list of tests that you earlier said were more accurate and better than Sona´s. On this occasion you refer to Luminex and the millions of test that they can do per day. Please pay attention to the following

Hi Burnout, I assume your comment is directed to me. I do in general agree with you but , what really annoys me is, he puts forward arguments and examples that are often partially true or believeable without giving the honest full picture and always to the detriment of Sona. This can result in potential or existing shareholders who perhaps don´t do a full DD being misled, confused and making

[Moemoney42]

Ahhh... good catch whatdoiknow... I guess its only pumpers that are allowed to exagerate..? That's the reason for my posts.. not to bash SONA which I've never done... just a counter to all the pie in the sky comments that come out of most posters here...I hope you all become millionaires (which I've stated before) but the folks here blinded by the light, only read what they want into

Are you sure you want to stick by you're comments about presenting false info..? This is taken from the Luminex site... PAY ATTENTION..! The xMAP® SARS-CoV-2 Multi-Antigen IgG Assay (RUO) is a multiplex, microsphere-based, highly sensitive and specific assay that detects the presence or absence of antibodies against three different SARS-CoV-2 antigens.

Auh, comprehensible please.

[whatdoiknow123]

Moemoney, you really need to READ CAREFULLY when you do your self-vaunted DD. The information that you yourself present says very clearly DETECTS IgG ANTIBODIES.  It is an ANTIBODY test. It does NOT detect active infection but detects IgG ANTIBODIES  which are produced by the body in response to Covid infection and do not appear for days, often several days, after the onset of infection

[Moemoney42]

I think I'll believe whats posted on the company website as opposed to you pumpers... cheers man..! 

[whatdoiknow123]

Moemoney, The problem is that YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS POSTED ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE EVEN THOUGH IT IS STATED QUITE CLEARLY. Let me explain: 1. The test is called an ANTIGEN ASSAY because it uses the Covid-19 Antigen (present in the infection) to detect an IgG ANTIBODY RESPONSE  to the Antigen.  2.It therefore detects if IgG Antibodies to Covid are present in the serum sample

 The new serology test helps in detection of antibodies of the immunoglobulin class G (IgG) — a crucial component of an adaptive immune response — which typically reflects continued immunity. The assay utilizes multiplexing to simultaneously detect antibodies to three SARS-CoV-2 antigens and comprises multiple internal controls to offer a more extensive and reliable assessment of the immune

Its a Draw it is a Multi AntiGen , IgG Assay   Detects the Anti Gen.   But main Function is for Antibody assessment  to offer a more extensive and reliable assessment of the immune response compared to other serology assays.

[whatdoiknow123]

NO IT IS NOT. It is an Antibody test and says so clearly. " DETECTS  IgG  ANTIBODIES TO SARS COVID-2". COULD NOT BE CLEARER. It is  a serum test. How do you detect the acute infection in the bloodstream when it is in the nose/throat. It also says " identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to Sars Cov-2"  ie. ANTIBODIES. It also says "

[whatdoiknow123]

Sorry shoul read " what PCR and ANTIGEN TESTS DO"

[TheeRook]

  It would seem that your comment about a limiting machine and cost means you have not done any lab work before or worked with automated equipment or machines.  Sona's manual test is OK in a low volume environment,  where you do not do many tests.  Lab work is boring , tedious work with lots of paper work.  In a high volume lab doing one test after another .If it

[Cottrader]

sona PR said using: Limit of Detection ("LOD") of 2.1 x 10^2 TCID50 Current studies show positive COVID-19 patients presenting symptoms have viral loads in the 10^4 - 10^6 range. Meaning sona test detects at much lower levels than quidels in case anyone was wondering the science and misinformation being spread

[Findingmoney]

Not spreading anything if that was directed at me and I think ^, was the only concern although some have ulterior motives. What you are pointing out is interesting, perhaps you could elaborate your thoughts on the importance of these kinds of readings with regard to efficiency and accuracy of the new SONA method, is it new style membrane or the Golden nanorods or a combination of factors that

[Cottrader]

the golden nanorods is the reason they can detect the virus at low viral loads, the membrane is also state of the art

[buy2009]

Isnt 2.1 x 102 more than 2.1 x 10x10? 214.2 vs 210  

[Findingmoney]

Perhaps .2.1 X10 2 which is clearly different than 2.1 X 102, just a thought. 

[Cottrader]

lol, do some DD

[buy2009]

Where in my post is there a comparison to any company?

[TheeRook]

These Antigen tests are really still an interim solution until better the Saliva based tests come out.    Too much manpower,  time and PPE  are used in Sampling with a swab. Only Qdel and BD publish peer review information .  If this is what your looking for. CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS The analytical sensitivity of BD and Quidel’s antigen tests are reflected in

Rook i wsnt asking for the comparison i was asking why you had my post in a spat with shoosh with a comment my post did make comparsons.

[shoosh22]

You honestly think you know more than MRIGlobal or Sona ....  Every NR that is printed goes through a scrupulous process... Sona has had the highest ethical standard of any company I have followed.  They wouldl not misrepresent...... Again why are you here?
