The FDA has given emergency use authorization for a $5 coronavirus test from Abbott Laboratories. The rapid antigen test is known as the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card. A healthcare provider gives the patient a nasal swab and transfers it to the test, which is roughly the size of a credit card. A chemical reagent is then added and the patient can read their results directly from the card after 15 minutes. The test is cheaper and faster than traditional ones, but it may not be as sensitive. As a result, the FDA says negative results may need to be confirmed with a molecular test, which is usually more sensitive. Abbott plans to make 50 million tests a month beginning in October. â
