At home COVID test uses your Android or iPhone handset, a special app, and the Detect kit
With the Omicron variant of COVID running rampant across the globe, pharmacies and retailers are running out of home COVID tests. But if you’re looking for a PCR quality test that has a 97.3% accuracy percentage and will give you your results in about an hour, you might consider ordering Detect. The test works with your smartphone and the Detect app that is available from the App Store and Google Play Store for iOS and Android respectively.
Because Detect can identify COVID-19 at a lower viral load than antigen tests, you can be alerted earlier if indeed you have the virus.
With your compatible smartphone and the Detect app, you can test yourself for COVID including the Omicron variant
As with most tests, you are asked to swab the inside of each nostril; when done you place the swab inside a test tube that you’ve already prepared with a solution provided by the test. After doing the necessary shaking of the tube, it is inserted into a device called the Detect Hub. After the appropriate time, you transfer the tube to another holder which tests the liquid in the tube. The app asks you questions about the results and once you tap on the answers, you are given your results.
As for the variants that the test can detect, the company says, “The Detect test is shown by bioinformatic analysis to recognize all Variants of Concern, including Delta and Omicron. Detect performs routine surveillance of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant strains and will continue to monitor effectiveness of the test for such variants.”

Those who want to use the Detect test need to own any iPhone released after 2013 (iPhone 6 or later running iOS 13 and later). Android models released after 2013 are also compatible with the test as long as they are running Android 8 and up. If your phone meets the requirements stated above, you can use it to run the Detect test and ease your mind with a high degree of confidence.
Dr. Jonathan Rothberg, founder of Detect, Inc. says, “The Detect Covid-19 Test brings laboratory accuracy into the home, helping to mitigate Covid-19 transmission and make everyday activities safe and anxiety-free again. As a complement to vaccines, highly accurate rapid testing will be critical as the pandemic becomes endemic. We developed the Detect Covid-19 Test to help people return to doing the things they love with the people they love in the safest way possible.”
