Prof John Newton told the Commons science and technology committee the public should wait for an approved home test which is currently being evaluated.
The government announced on Thursday that more than 10m antibody kits were being bought and would be rolled out first in hospitals and care homes.
High street chains, including Superdrug, had already begun to offer a home antibody test kit for £69.
When asked about the home tests, Newton said better tests would be available to the public soon.
Why should I not order one of those antibody tests?
