Abbott has received emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the fastest available COVID-19 test. The test will be able to deliver positive results in as little as 5 minutes and negative results in 13 minutes.
What is more important, the new Abbott COVID-19 test runs on Abbott’s ID NOW platform, a lightweight and small box. The fact it can be used in more non-traditional places where people can have their results in a matter of minutes brings an alternate testing technology to combat the virus.
Combined with ID NOW, Abbott expects to produce about 5 million tests in April.
