New rapid COVID testing machines that promise a result in 20 seconds will soon arrive in Australia following their approval for use in the UK.

The new devices could take the wait out of the coronavirus screening process, but is subject to approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

The Virolens machine takes a saliva swab, then uses a holographic microscope to identify viral surface proteins.

It's a machine that's able to test for COVID-19 in 20 seconds," Gavin Milton-White from Virolens COVID Screening said.

"There's a screen on the front which tells whether you've got COVID or whether you don't."

Twenty-five of the machines will soon arrive in Australia after trials at London's Heathrow Airport, but approval from the TGA is not guaranteed.

Those importing the technology say it could be used for mass screening at airports and other crowded places.

"If you want to go see a big sporting event, you'll be able to have a test before you go in," Mr Milton-White said.

Anteo really need a blockbuster deal to come through soon otherwise we might struggle to get Government, companies, sporting associations, etc... To move from the commitments they have already made in purchasing other rapid testing companies technologies.
