Four COVID-19 tests that have been authorized by the FDA in the last month:
- Adaptive Biotechnologies' T-Detect test, which assesses the body's T cell immune response to COVID-19 to detect recent or prior infection.
- Cue Health's molecular at-home test, which detects genetic material from the virus that causes COVID-19 present in the nostrils. It's the first molecular test authorized for at-home use without a prescription.
- Quidel's at-home antigen test, which is authorized for prescription use and doesn't require test samples to be sent to a lab.
- Visby Medical's rapid, single-use PCR test, which can be used in a wide range of facilities, including urgent care clinics, pharmacies and universities.
