"A new type of COVID test is set to be available from November for Australians
to use at home.

It promises an alternative to rapid antigen tests (RATs), which we’re familiar
with. It also promises a faster and more convenient option than PCR (polymerase
chain reaction) tests performed in a lab.

The distributor is marketing the new product as a “portable PCR self-test kit”
and a “game-changer” in COVID detection.

But does this new kit deliver what it promises? And is it worth the price?
Here’s what we know from the limited data publicly available."
