About the Lucira COVID-19 & Flu Home Test
The Lucira COVID-19 & Flu Home Test is not an antigen test. It is a molecular, nucleic acid amplification (NAAT) test that utilizes the same platform and device design as both of Lucira's commercialized FDA authorized COVID-19 tests to provide independent diagnoses for COVID-19, Flu A and Flu B. The lab-quality single-use test fits in the palm of your hand, runs on 2 AA batteries, and with one shallow nasal swab provides a positive or negative result for COVID-19, Flu A and Flu B in 30 minutes or less. Each Lucira test contains everything needed to run a single test. There is no separate reader or instrument to purchase and maintain.
