The Roche antibody test requires blood drawn from a vein. So the NHS would have limited ability to process millions of such tests. And those wanting the test would have to show up at a location where the test was done. It may be that the Mologic test is sufficiently accurate provisionally but would require a Roche test for confirmation. The Mologic test could give a good idea of the percentage of people with antibodies in the community but require a more accurate test for people that need confirmation.
