The covid rapid tests have now come a long way. In fact a British startup firm iAbra and TT Electronics, uses a digital camera attached to a microscope, which then runs data through a computer that can identify the virus from other cells in just 20 seconds. These are used at the airports.Some countries have trained dogs, supposedly very accurate. Singapore devloped a breathalyser quick results and accurate - imitating the dogs ( I wrote a post on this before as it was tested in Changi airport)The one you are referring to uses LAMP testing - Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is a similar process to PCR testing but produces many more viral RNA copies at a constant temperature instead of heating and cooling so can have a result much quicker.</blockquote>
