Brand recomendation for home kits please

[matis_mom]

Can those of you who use the home strep-A test kits recommend brands? Amazon carries several brands with a wide range of prices. I don't want to spend more than I need to, but at the same time I don't want to get something that is not accurate.

 

So please, please reply with brands and where to get them (if other than Amazon). We have several docs in the family, so the need for a license no. should not be a problem.

 

Thanks

We use Osom........they work! Detected my husband's strep Christmas 08....he did not have a sore throat or anything....just a headache. He decided to swab himself since my younger son abruptly showed an increase in symptoms one day...positive!

There are a few different ones......we use Osom Ultra Strep A Test.

 

You can get a better deal at http://www.nextag.com (type in Osmon strep a tests)

 

Some kits you can get for much cheaper, but, I am skeptical of the cheap kits....I want to make sure what I get is high quality and works! What would be the point otherwise?

 

 

Wow, found a good price here...better than I ever got...

Hey, for two bucks a test, if it's reliable you can't beat that! It's $10 a pop if I have to take them in to get swabbed. Thanks for the recommendation, I'm getting some today!

I have a strep test called Strep-Tester by Wondfo. I found them on the internet but I know they have a website www.wondfo.com.cn
