Can you tell me more about Lucira’s PCR quality molecular accuracy?

The Lucira Check It COVID-19 Test Kit is a diagnostic test to detect SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19. The test detects if you have an active infection and does not confirm immunity or detect antibodies. It is a molecular test that amplifies the virus’s genetic material while the test is running just like PCR lab tests. Lucira’s amplification method provides a level of accuracy comparable to one of the highest sensitivity lab PCR tests.

Can this test detect new SARS-CoV-2 variants?

Yes, Lucira detects the alpha, beta, delta, gamma, lambda, mu and omicron COVID-19 variants.

Lucira Health performs routine surveillance of emerging SARS-CoV-2 strains and will continue to monitor the situation with emerging variants. We keep a Technical Brief on our website that lists SARS-CoV-2 variants our test is reactive to.

How many times can I use this test?

Each test kit is single-use and comes with everything needed to run 1 Covid-19 test.

What’s the shelf life?

Currently, the test kit has a 12-month shelf life. Read our Notice of Shelf Life Extension for more information.

Will this test hurt?
No, the nasal swab is not sharp and it should not hurt. Sometimes the swab can feel slightly uncomfortable or tickly.

What if I have questions about how to use this test when it arrives?
