Other members of the public must purchase lateral flow test kits if they wish to test at home. But how accurate are these at-home tests in determining whether or not you have Covid?

COVID rapid home tests are "lateral flow assays," much like over-the-counter pregnancy tests. A nasal sample is mixed with a chemical solution that extracts the antigen proteins.

At-home test kits offer a convenient way to monitor health conditions privately, using advanced technologies for accurate and timely results.

Accessible Lateral Flow Assays: Test to Treat, Test to Protect From development to implementation, Rosanna Peeling discusses the importance of rapid tests for public health.

While lateral flow tests are good for giving qualitative data, such as if you have a virus or not, doctors would like to have versions of these easy-to-use diagnostics that give quantitative data.

That’s where other at-home lateral flow tests often come up short and (part of) the reason why we do PCR testing in the first place.

An artificial intelligence app to read COVID-19 lateral flow tests helped to reduce false results in a new trial out today.

When do lateral flow tests give a false positive? Lateral flow tests do not give out many false positive results, but it’s something which cannot be ruled out.

Lateral flow assays, also called immunochromatographic assays, identify or measure biomolecules in intricate samples like blood, saliva, urine, or other fluids to diagnose numerous medical ...
