Official self testing kits for home use in Spain26 Jul 2021 11:42
I've lived in Spain for a number of years and over the weekend this list was released in the media with regards to home testing kits that can be purchased from Pharmacies
Eight of the test kits named by the OCU (Organisation of Consumers and Users (in Spain) being regarded as 'official' give results from a nasal swab.
SARS-CoV-2 fast-track test, manufactured by Xiamen Boson Biotech;
Flowflex antigen SARS-CoV-2, manufactured by Acon Biotech;
Diaquick antigen SARS-CoV-2, manufactured by Acon Biotech;
2019-nCov antigen test, manufactured by Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech;
antigen SARS-CoV-2 fast-track test, manufactured by Hangzhou Alltest Biotech;
Clinitest Rapid Covid-19 antigen self-test, manufactured by Healgen Scientific;
SARS-CoV-2 nasal antigen self-test, manufactured by SD Biosensor;
Fast-track self-test antigen SARS-CoV-2 kit, manufactured by Beijing Lepu Medical Technology.
The other self-diagnosis testing kit works with a saliva swab – the fast-track antigen Covid-19 self-test manufactured by Hangzhou Alltest Biotech.
I think what it also tells us is that if we don't get a move on with being able to supply a home self test the EU if not already, as a market is going to become a pretty saturated.
