Rapid test methods are laboratory instruments that can be used in the point of care and for suspicious cases. In an ideal rapid detection method, the steps for preparing a sample to obtain an analytical result should be as short as possible, and unskilled operators should be able to execute it and understand the result. To accomplish such a process, it is better to perform all the steps including sample preparation, detection procedure and acquisition of an intelligible signal in one device. These assay systems can include microfluidic chips, paper-based sensors, or even single-tube reactions. Corona Pandemic offers many products for the rapid detection of the Covid 19 virus, which diffrent products were commercially developed. Due to the sensitivity of the diagnosis at different stages of the disease, only a small number of technologies could be applied in practice. In this review article, these products are categorized and reviewed based on technological properties. Also, these technologies have been compared in terms of important components such as sensitivity, accuracy, cost and speed of the process in the diagnosis and management and control of COVID-19 pandemic. Also the application of each technology is explained. Finally, the best technology that can play a major role is introduced.

Keywords: rapid detection, Covid 19 virus, technological classification.
