SelfDiagnostics intends to apply for approval for a rapid at-home PCR-COVID19 test

Marko Lehes, CEO and co-founder of Selfdiagnostics, said that home use PCR is a revolutionary approach to bringing lab-grade accuracy into the hands of end users. “Selfdiagnostics has proven its technology in STDs and is now, following a successful interim clinical study, launching COVID and influenza multitest in the current viral season and ramping up production in Europe,” said Lehes.

Selfdiagnotics Rapid PCR Multitest is based on isothermal PCR, which is already FDA-approved for home use, paving the way for a huge increase in test cases, which is still an important step to stop the pandemics.

Selfdiagnostics COVID Multitest is confirmatory due to ongoing PCR, which cannot be said with antigen tests. The test is faster than laboratory PCR - the time from sample collection to result is only 40 minutes and the test is non-invasive - runs on an easily collected nasal swab and/or saliva. People who have symptoms or who have been in contact with a positive patient can be tested anywhere, anytime outside of the laboratory - at home, at work, in doctor's offices, pharmacies, etc.
