Osmetech acquired the Opti product line from Roche Diagnostics. Opti is the portable analysis technology for bloodgas and electrolytes measurement. This highly successful analyser has also taken the veterinary world by storm. IDEXX Laboratories Inc (IDXX) have entered into a ten year OEM agreement to provide the customised OPTI analysers to the veterinary field under the brand VetStat.

In September 2004 the company acquired the "OPTIgene" (Genedrive) product from MS this technology will enable OMH a strong entry point into the fastest growing market segment of DNA based diagnostics. A market that is growing at an annual rate of 20% and is currently worth $ 22 bln !

In the latest acquisition 1/7/05 Osmetech acquired Clinical Micro Sensors from Motorola PLC, OMH plans to utilise the eSensor technology coupled with OPTIgene to address the majority of existing and new tests in the genetic diagnostics market. 'CMS's diagnostic tests for cystic fibrosis and CYP450 are closest to commercial launch and OMH believes that these products have significant market potential.

Nice chart breakout under way.

Looks like it is going to pop. I wonder if some deal was hacked at Medica or AMP last week?

New trade marks for Molecular Products have been registered recently.

Say hello to TRITON and IMPLUSE. Interestingly they are registered under the Molecular Diagnostics brand rather than just Osmetech.

Are we expecting the results at the end of january bangers?

I should think around that time but there's the Trading Statement to look forward to first! And perhaps more BIG news in the mean time!?

Considering in July OMH were forecasting 'record sales performance
during the next six month period' i would expect this TS to be more than upbeat.

Would you expect the price to rise prior to the TS & results then?

So potentially we are looking at another 6 weeks of continues rises?

Yep, and no reason why it should stop then.

Some of the largest trades from this week.

Quiet here, soooooo

The men in suits have been at Osmo HQ, due diligence seems to be buzz word.

The gossip is that there are "new investors" floating about. Some of the ex CMS die hards think they have seen it all before and are concerned they could be getting sold off and made redundant again. Time will tell

4 possible scenarios are
A deal for or fire sale of the OPTIgene technology to Idexx and the closure of the Boston office.
Another placing to fund further development / purchase of new technology.
A major deal to supply XT-8 equipment.
A major co taking a significant stake or complete buy out.

Take your pick.
I wonder how long it will be before any one notices this. he he


Anyone notice that OPTIGene, genesensor whatever has vanished from the product list?

Maybe even two, as it seems there has been a few big buyers competing for stock.

Looking very strong now.

The thread dimwits have gone quiet all of a sudden. Cant think why?

the price we are at now offered resistance in jan 06 and april 05, we really need some good news to get past 30p and hold there then upto 34p.

But can trend lines and past resistance areas be relied upon due to the increased number of shares since those times?? Either way not long to the trading statement early '07 and of course there's always the chance of something else BIG(!?) before then!?
