Read MoreA new potentially cheaper and quicker Covid test could be rolled out at airports in three months, researchers have said.
The University of Birmingham said it had developed a test, using the exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) method, that was as sensitive as a PCR test but could give results in a few minutes without the need for a laboratory.
PCR tests typically cost about £65, but some private clinics charge about £200. Health Secretary Sajid Javid has acknowledged the cost of PCR testing could be "a barrier" to people wanting to travel and said people needed to be protected from "exploitative practices".
The Department of Health has said the cost of NHS Test and Trace tests for international arrivals would be reduced - from £88 to £68 for travellers coming from green list countries, or those arriving from amber list countries who are fully vaccinated.
Tim Dafforn, professor of biotechnology at the university's School of Biosciences, said: "The test works with existing instrumentation, meaning that it could conceivably be deployed in [airports]... in three to six months with some commercial backing."

The 30-year-old played the full 90 minutes in Wolves' opening-day defeat to Leicester.
It was the first competitive match he has been involved in since he sustained the traumatic injury against Arsenal.
"I always thought that after my recovery I would be back to do what I love to do," said Jimenez.
"I never thought about finishing my career. There was a chance of that, but I was always confident I was going to return."

Read MorePatients with pacemakers can now get a check-up at a drive-through clinic at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
Pacemaker patients need to have their devices checked at least once a year, but due to Covid-19 restrictions, it has been difficult for the cardiology team to see patients face-to-face.
The hospital trust said the drive-through meant the medical team could see more patients, while freeing up capacity in the hospital itself for other cardio-pulmonary treatments.
Becky Macdonald, from the trust, said: “Some patients are still reluctant to come into a hospital clinic due to anxieties around Covid-19, some may struggle with mobility, and some simply find parking difficult and stressful.
“If everything is fine then it gives the patient the peace of mind they need and they won’t need to hear from us until their next appointment.”
Rob Needham is thought to have killed partner Kelly Fitzgibbons and their daughters, then himself.

The Taliban takeover of Afghanistan may be happening more than 3,600 miles away from the UK, but it feels much closer to home for British-Afghans.
Before coming to the UK as an asylum seeker, 24-year-old Parwiz Karimi was born and grew up in Afghanistan.
His childhood memories include being confronted by Taliban members who would cross into his village with their weapons, with his grandmother telling him and his siblings to "run to the mountains" to find safety.
As he tries to keep track of the fast-moving situation in his home country, Parwiz, now living in Wolverhampton, is feeling guilty and worried about his many family members who still live there.
"I'm here sitting in my house peacefully studying. And they're struggling to find food," he tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
"There is so much I can do here but at the same time, there's nothing I can do for them."
