The two companies are aiming to have a BAMS™ test ready for clinical validation, regulatory approval and manufacturing in June.\n\nAlthough the full terms of business have not been disclosed, Avacta will receive a royalty on the sales of Adeptrix test kits. As such this represents another important step forward, not only in terms of development of a reputation-building, high-profile new product of global significance, but also in terms of Avacta maximising the near and longer-term commercial opportunities for its platform.\n\n[Read More](https://mcusercontent.com/d9ebd7c1aa0f3dbc5fab42eca/files/03ee0f52-7af3-47ab-b155-fea71290d0f8/AvactaGroupplc_1_5_20_FINAL_BG.pdf)\n\nWe would draw your attention to the various disclaimers in the document both at the beginning and at the end of the note. Retail clients (as defined by the rules of the FCA) must not rely on the research document. In particular you should note that the research document is a non-independent marketing communication.
