Which covid test for UKs Test to Release scheme - Person Holding Test Tubes

I understand that the 10 day quarentine for international travellers returning to the UK can be reduced to 5 with a covid test under the "Test to Release" scheme. Looking at the list of covid test suppliers I chose one which offers me the following options:

  • Antibody
  • RT LAMP (Japan)
  • RT LAMP (Rest of the world)
  • RT PCR
  • Antigen

The descriptions of the tests are here but nowhere on the government or companies websites is mentioned which i need.

Which is the type of COVID test required by the UK government to succesfully "Test to Release"?
