Time for TED thread on MAM.
I hold so this is probably a blatant ramp, but take a look.
The share is now off its low of 11.5p.
Although many got burnt in thr over hype a few years ago, I think the company
Is now well positioned for advancement.
Management have said that more Nucleopure machine sales are in the pipeline.

Guardian
Finally, it's worth keeping an eye on Tepnel Life Sciences. Market professionals reckon the AIM-listed DNA technology group has been overlooked in the past month and could now enjoy a good run. They note directors recently bought stock and point out that Tepnel's acquisition of Orchid Diagnostics should significantly boost the company's revenue stream and help it reach a much broader customer base. Tepnel closed 0.5p higher at 13p last night.

Sunday Telegraph
Tepnel is close to completing a second acquisition, having just bought the DNA-testing division of Orchid BioSciences, which allows it to enter the US market and increase the customer base for its DNA technology. Buy at 14.25p, the paper says.

2517GEORGE So sorry I posted the wrong price...
Positive news Tepnel preferred supplier agreement with AstraZeneca for DNA extraction services is extended. The Share price responded by trading up 0.75p to 6.00p since the announcement. Now I understand why AXA S. A , Holds 27,732,428 shares in the company./

myway----you still can't get it right, they have not been as low as 6p for ages.
2517

2517GORGE Today's price 9.755p.

Update I have had a telephone conversation with my contact at Tepnel Life. He informed me that the company was very pleased with business at the present time, TEDs agreement with AstraZenca interacted a major step in the companys marketing, only to be enhanced by the news that TED has signed a two year global distribution agreement with world's largest online supplier of antibodies, Abcam.

At the end of our telephone conversation I felt that the company is now well in line to take on new clients and extra business for their life sciences products. I look forward to the next announcement from the company, I will now increase my stock holdings in the company. /

one you must have

Been quite strong last couple of days, results not due until Sept, so maybe news around the corner, anyone have any idea's?
2517

I noticed this one too George: Interims to 30 June are due out tomorrow so presumably looking good

Toya, TED posted their last interims 5/9/07 I didn't realise they were due out so soon. Thanks, Good Luck.

Pretty sure I read that on their website - we'll soon know!

Substantial increase in revenues and profits


Manchester, UK, Stamford, USA, 31 July 2008: Tepnel Life Sciences plc (AIM: TED), the international Molecular Diagnostics and Research Products and Services Group, announces interim results for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2008.

Additionally, Tepnel's immunological products are showing good growth and have now begun to penetrate worldwide markets. Tepnel's Molecular Diagnostics division also continues to exhibit strong growth led by our LifeMatch range of products and our Elucigene CF and QST*R genetic tests' stated Ben Matzilevich, Tepnel's Chief Executive Officer.

isit time to sell

A very steep climb indeed! I wouldn't want to buy just now.

BAYLIS well called, in the short term at least. Longer term I believe the management are going to take TED much further than current sp but, like all shares after a burst upwards some profit taking is desirable.
Toya, rather belatedly, you were correct about the timing of results. Good luck all.
2517

George: I agree with you, Tepnel looks like a promising little pharmaco; not sure that it's pulled back enough to buy for longer term just yet though. 9.5-10p would look reasonable. Chairman, Finance Director, and a third director topped up recently.

Approach for the co.
2517

If TED is taken over then somewhere north of 19p should be achieved, imo.
2517

Good volume (for TED) yesterday and again today.
2517

Still going strong on a possible takeover and may well continue upwards, no certainty of the takeover so have sold today @ 19p for a nice profit. Good luck to all remaining shareholders.
2517

miss you george

XSTEFFX---very kind of you thanks, I won't be far away. I held these in certificate form dated February 2004, so it's been a longish hold especially with no dividends, I think the management have done an excellent job over the last 2 years or so, and if the bid does not materialise I will be back in on the lower sp. Good luck.
