Because of the brawl i got into with sliderule, TownCrier, The Guardian et al (many nicks same person) some time ago I promised myself not to post on cst again until it was clear it was moving ahead and heading towards a substantial rise.

That time has come. CST is heading way north now, it shot itself in the foot with some marketing strategy but the goose is about to lay the golden egg. Approval of Qantiferon Gold in the US will spark a drive in sales and approval in Japan is the holy grail of tb testing. The japs have >40m tests p.a. which are useless because the skin test simply does not work fo innocculated people which the Japanese have to be. As a result they also have squillions of x-rays because the tests show false positives.

I'm not going to suggest a suggest price but use $10 margin per test and use your imagination.

BTW sliderule if you are reading, no hard feelings.
