Best price for ATK tests? Need lots for school kids.

 

My two kids need to take a weekly ATK test for school as do I if I go on campus.

 

I bought 10 for 700 baht last week but hear taht they are 49 baht at 7-11 and cheaper still at some drug stores.

 

I wonder are they all the same quality?

 

I have heard that some give some false positives... which would not be worth the savings...

 

Best brands and prices?

 

Thank you!

I wouldnt complain at 70 baht a pop. I use these from Lazada, nasal and saliva.

Prices will vary from pharmacy to pharmacy, best to buy online in bulk.  I bought 10, paid about 70b for each.

I just bought the saliva test at Pharmacy for 90 tbh.

You can buy online in Lazada for like 40THB/test.

I'd recommend GICA by TestSealabs. They work with saliva and are approved in Thailand.

I've used GICA saliva kits a few time, the sample tube is a bit fiddly as the 'lid' don't secure against the tube quite properly, popping out when you try to squeeze the drops out onto the test strip, plopping out making a mess and ruining the kit. Haven't had any other saliva kit, but never had problem with the tubes on other nasal swab kits

Here is the brand that i bought 10 for 700 baht at a small pharmacy: My kids seem to prefer the nasal type as you apparently have to go fairly deep to correctly do the saliva test...

Thank you - good to know...
