I see nothing that infers that QMC is going to manufacture and sell Antibody test kits.
If they were going to manufacture kits, then why did they not include them on the website QDX Manufacturing Product page?
There are Test Kit Manufacturers already working on 150 different test kits for the US market (600 for the worldwide market). Why would QMC try to compete in that crowded market with no experience? Setting up manufacturing of test kits is a big risk and capital intensive, not in keeping with QMC's licensing model.
QMC has said they have had discussions with kit manufacturers, but I take that as QMC trying to sell QD tagging for product tracking and supply chain verification to them. But I don't see a lot of traction for that currently since the kit manufacturers are just trying to get the kits to market as soon as possible. How is QMC going to support making enough QDs and equipment to embed QD tags into hundreds of different test kits at all the different manufacturers?
One potential possibility would be to produce the QD tags on film in a single location and distribute the tags to be applied on to the kits at the various kit manufacturing factories. Thus the "QDX Film" product on the QDX Manufacturing page. Not in keeping with the original immutable concept, but somewhat better than QR codes on stickers.
For the immediate future I don't see manufactures adapting new labeling and distribution tracing methods, they just want to get their products to the health care workers ASAP. So maybe down the road.
The other potential discussion with kit manufacturers would be about QMC supplying gold nano-particles for use as a raw material in antibody test kits. As I've said before, I would be fine with QMC basically giving away nano-particles to test kit manufacturers at this point in time, just to show that the reactors can produce and that QMC could actually establish a presences in a product on the market. Not looking for revenues now, but very valuable marketing material. QMC needs to break the ice with some nano-material product.

QDXTM Dots are the most versatile quantum dots in existence. We are already involved in leveraging them for applications as different as displays, solar energy, lighting and anti-counterfeit approaches. Energy storage, medical diagnostics and quantum computing are in the works.
QDX™ Display
Quantum Dots improve the performance and energy efficiency of very high-resolution computer, TV and smartphone displays. QDXTM Display quantum dots are stable, with long lifetimes, enhanced charge transport, and also exhibit high Stokes shift characteristics for improved clarity and brightness. Learn more here.
QDX™ Solar
The demand for solar power is increasing driven by the high cost of fossil fuels coupled with their associated geopolitical and existential risks. QDXTM Solar quantum dots absorb energy 24/7 from both visible and UV light making them the best option for solar cells.
QDX™ Lighting
With energy consumption of around 10% of incandescent lights, solid state lighting has huge potential with some 2 billion light bulbs sold each year in the US alone. Because of their heat resistant properties, QDX™ Lighting quantum dots are better suited to work in solid state lighting than those from other manufacturers.
QDX™ Film
Counterfeit goods represent a $1.8 Trillion annual criminal market, impacting brand trust, product quality and consumer safety. QDXTM Film provides a simple approach to tagging products with unique quantum dot optical signatures to ensure that products are authentic at manufacture and through their entire supply chain journey.
