Positive lateral flow, no symptoms, negative PCR. Difficult to take top off solution too.

[HelloCovid]

Anyone else had this?

I also periodically find it hard to take the foil off the little vial of fluid and have to use scissors. Why would that be, surely it's all standardised?

I have no faith in these tests or the labs that process them.

Bet you a tenner it’s a FlowFlex - see the thread on false positives.

Yep, FlowFlex.

Just had this. My positives were quite dark too. I contacted test and trace and apparently it's a known issue with the tests. It's extremely frustrating!

It is very frustrating. I waste so much time isolating and this time the line was really quite dark.

Currently waiting on PCR after 2 very obvious positive FlowFlex tests…

I did not know this about them.
