Pharmact lateral flow test had zero false positives among 126 negative samples as far as I can see:

Don't know if this would show immunity though.

>100% Konformitatsrate (Spezifitatsrate) fur 126 Negativkontrollen mit nicht mit SARS-CoV-2 akut oder vorher infizierten Probanden.

Heh, well that's great news. It's an antibody test so it would tell you who has had antibodies against the virus and thus who is probably immune to it.
