Lab-Quality Results
Gold standard results comparable to PCR delivered straight to you in minutes. Cue’s molecular test matched central lab results with 97.8% accuracy in an independent study by Mayo Clinic.
Testing Simplified
Answers for everyone. Use Cue to test adults and children (ages 2+), with or without symptoms. Our test is designed for both professional use at point-of-care and for use at home, at work, or in the community. No prescription, no training needed.
U.S., EU, Canada, India
In the U.S., Cue’s COVID-19 test is Emergency Use Authorized (EUA) by FDA for professional use at point-of-care and at-home use without a prescription. The test is also authorized for professional use in the European Union (CE Mark), Canada (Health Canada Interim Order), and India (CDSCO).
Test anyone, anywhere, anytime
With a fast, easy-to-use test, the Cue COVID‑19 Test Kit offers convenience, privacy, and the ability to test frequently.
The COVID-19 Test Kit includes a single-use Cue COVID-19 Cartridge and Cue Wand and runs on our Cue Reader.
The test is completely self-contained — no mixing of fluids or complex testing procedure required. With built-in safety features and quality checks, the test can be administered safely and reliably.
Cue’s molecular test eliminates the need to send samples to a lab, hire healthcare professionals, or perform additional confirmatory tests. Quick results and actionable data on location helps save valuable time and prevent larger, costly outbreaks.
Connect up to six Cue Readers to one mobile smart device to easily scale up testing when needed. For enterprise and professional users, Cue’s API integrations with existing systems enable streamlined health and data management.

Point-of-care (POC) tests are in high demand in order to facilitate rapid care decisions for patients suspected of SARS-CoV-2. We conducted a clinical validation study of the Cue Health POC nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) using the Cue lower nasal swab, compared to a reference NAAT using standard nasopharyngeal swab, in 292 symptomatic and asymptomatic outpatients for SARS-CoV-2 detection in a community drive-through collection setting. Positive percent agreement between Cue COVID-19 and reference SARS-CoV-2 test was 91.7% (22/24); or 95.7% (22/23) when one patient with no tie-breaker method was excluded. Negative percent agreement was 98.4% (239/243), and there were 25 (8.6%) invalid or canceled results. The Cue COVID-19 Test demonstrated very good positive and negative percent agreement with central laboratory tests and will be useful in settings where accurate POC testing is needed to facilitate management of patients suspected of COVID‑19.
