One month later, Amazon announced it would do the same with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-coronavirus-test-fda-approved-covid-saliva-test-2021-1">DxTerity's COVID-19 testing kit</a>. Both kits have been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration under its <a href="https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-authorization">Emergency Use Authorization.</a>I decided to try both tests. See what the experience was like:<h2>The type of tests and the price</h2><div type="image" title="DxTerity mylab box mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1488" width="1984" msid="80615610" hostid="261"></div>I ordered <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/amazon">Amazon'</a>s DxTerity and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/walmart">Walmart</a>'s MyLab Box COVID-19 test saliva collection kits. Walmart also carries MyLab Box's nasal swab kit, and both the saliva and nasal swabs kits can be ordered with standard or express shipping. In the interest of pricing and testing consistency, I ordered the MyLabBox saliva kit with standard shipping.The price made me wince. Both cost me $118.53, which is hefty compared to the free testing clinics near me. While you're obviously paying for convenience, it would be hard for anyone who doesn't live a financially cushioned life to take these at-home tests frequently.I ordered my Amazon and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jamba-using-robot-arm-smoothies-blendid-walmart-2020-12">Walmart kits</a> on the same day and created my MyLab Box account the day after with a code I had received from Walmart.You won't need to use either of the e-commerce platforms after placing your order: DxTerity and MyLab Box both handle the shipment and processing of their respective kits.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/companies-making-fast-home-coronavirus-tests-sherlock-mammoth-e25-2020-10?r=bc-sub">Meet the 11 companies racing to make coronavirus tests that cost as little as $5 and deliver results in under 15 minutes</a>Amazon's DxTerity kit arrived on my doorstep before Walmart's MyLab Box. After receiving the packages, I registered both kits on their respective websites so I could later view my COVID-19 test results.Both MyLab Box and DxTerity test-takers can register their kit using the ID code found on the saliva collection tube. Luckily, setting up the accounts only took a few minutes.If you've never taken an at-home COVID-19 saliva test before, the process is simple. To boil it down, all you have to do is spit into a test tube and mail the tube back to its lab by dropping it off at a FedEx drop box. MyLab Box samples can also be delivered to a UPS depot.Walmart's MyLab Box can provide results within 48 hours after the lab receives the sample, while Amazon's DxTerity results are ready within 72 hours.<h2>Walmart's testing kit: MyLab Box. A surprising struggle.</h2><div type="image" title="MyLab Box mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1647" width="2196" msid="80615612" hostid="261"></div>Both MyLab Box and DxTerity's testing instructions state that test-takers shouldn't eat, drink, or smoke anything 30 minutes before taking the saliva sample. As a morning coffee consumer taking two COVID-19 tests at 7 a.m., I found this protocol a bit hard to adhere to, but I'm obviously just complaining about the small things now.The MyLab Box came with:<ul><li>instructions</li><li>a lab requisition form that asks for your personal information</li><li>a mailing return label</li><li>a test tube for my saliva sample</li><li>a biohazard specimen collection bag with a small, presumably absorbent, sheet inside</li><li>a small box to put my test tube in</li><li>a UPS bag used to mail my sample to the lab</li></ul>There was also a small sheet inside the UPS bag, but I assumed this was also another absorbent sheet.After reading the instructions and filling in the lab requisition form, I opened up the test tube to begin the sample collection process.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/digital-health-startup-ro-future-relies-on-testing-2021-1?r=bc-sub">$1.5 billion digital-health startup Ro wants to be your online doctor. Here's how its coronavirus response rooted in rapid at-home testing fits into the new unicorn's long-term strategy.</a>Taking the saliva sample is easy: all you have to do is spit into the test tube until you hit the fill line. Luckily, the tube came with a helpful little funnel to prevent a spit spray from missing the tube (you're welcome for that imagery). I then capped the funnel lid - which released a stabilizing solution into my sample- replaced the funnel top with the provided cap, and shook the tube for five seconds, as per the instructions.<div type="image" title="MyLab Box mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1406" width="1875" msid="80615615" hostid="261"></div>This is where it gets confusing.The instructions say to place the test tube in the biohazard collection bag, seal the bag up, put the bag in the box, place the absorbent sheet on top, and then close the box.However, the graphic next to these instructions showed something different. Here, the specimen bag and test tube look like they're about to be placed on top of some bubble wrap inside the box, and the absorbent sheet looks like it's near the UPS bag, but not about to be placed inside the box.<div type="image" title="MyLab Box's mail-in COVID-19 testing kit" height="1875" width="2500" msid="80615616" hostid="261"></div>Bubble wrap? I never received bubble wrap in my package.The instructions also didn't mention what to do with the second sheet. Was the smaller sheet found inside the specimen collection bag supposed to stay inside the bag? Or was that the sheet that was supposed to be placed on top of the bag inside of the closed box? And if the latter is the case, what do I do with the larger sheet that came inside the UPS bag? <div type="image" title="MyLab Box mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1875" width="2500" msid="80615619" hostid="261"></div>Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-micro-fufillment-pickup-and-delivery-store-local-fulfillment-center-2021-1?r=bc-sub">Walmart is doubling down on micro-fulfillment centers and working with these 3 startups to cut down on delivery times</a>Confused, I ended up placing the smaller sheet on top of the specimen bag and inside the box, while leaving the larger sheet inside the UPS bag. This felt wrong, but the instructions weren't clear enough to guide me in the right direction.I slid the closed box - filled with the smaller absorbent sheet and the collection bag with my spit-filled test tube - into the UPS bag along with the larger sheet, and sealed the package closed.I was paranoid I had messed up the test but decided to move forward.<h2>Amazon's testing kit: DxTerity. Pleasantly straightforward.</h2><div type="image" title="DxTerity's mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1776" width="2369" msid="80615620" hostid="261"></div>Now, onto Amazon's DxTerity kit.The kit came with:<ul><li>instructions</li><li>a test tube</li><li>a specimen collection plastic bag with a small white absorbent sheet</li></ul>Saliva collection with DxTerity's kit is also straightforward: just spit into the test tube until your saliva reaches the thin sqiggly line. Like MyLab Box's test, DxTerity's test tube also came with a handy funnel.And yes, after spitting into two test tubes, I was parched.As per the instructions, after my spit reached the line, I replaced the funnel with a "fluid cap," which released the blue "viral RNA inactivation and stabilization solution" into my collection of saliva.<div type="image" title="DxTerity's mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1709" width="2279" msid="80615621" hostid="261"></div>Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/over-40-of-amazon-employees-support-unionization-insider-survey-shows-2021-1?r=bc-sub">More than 40% of surveyed Amazon employees say they wished they were in a union, a new Insider survey shows</a>Afterward, I tightened the cap, shook the tube for five seconds, and dropped it into the specimen bag. This time, the instructions told its test takers to keep the absorbent sheet inside the bag. Unlike the MyLab Box kit, the DxTerity saliva sample can be sent to the lab directly in the box that it came in. No need for a new label or a separate UPS bag. All I had to do was put the test tube inside the sample bag, place the sample bag inside the box, seal the box, and then send the box full of my spit off. <h2>Drop off was easy - I live near several FedEx drop boxes</h2><div type="image" title="amazon walmart covid testing kit" height="1654" width="2206" msid="80615623" hostid="261"></div>With my two packages ready to go, I looked up the closest FedEx drop boxes near me. Luckily, finding a drop box was pretty easy, and I was able to send my packages off in the morning well before the box's collection time. Time to say goodbye to my test kits, and hello to my water bottle.<h2>Results</h2>Results from in-person testing sites near me will often come back within 48 hours. I didn't get this same perk with either of my mail-in tests.However, one test result came back much faster than the other.I completed and dropped off both tests on January 19, and received an email from DxTerity on January 21 notifying me of my COVID-19 results. Delighted by the quick results, I logged onto my DxTerity profile and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-require-a-negative-covid-19-test-from-international-travelers-2021-1">was relieved to see "negative."</a> According to my result paperwork, my collection's accession date was on January 20, hence the fast turnaround time.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiaa-free-coronavirus-tests-employee-benefits-2020-12?r=bc-sub">TIAA's CHRO shares how the company rolled out free at home coronavirus testing to 14,000 employees in just 5 weeks</a>However, MyLab Box, which had already caused me some grief during the testing process, was not as quick. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCOVID-19-At-Home-Test-Kit-Saliva-Sample-STANDARD-Shipping-by-myLAB-Box%2F925796262%3Fathcpid%3D925796262%26athpgid%3DathenaItemPage%26athcgid%3Dnull%26athznid%3DPWVUB%26athieid%3Dv0%26athstid%3DCS004%26athguid%3Dd7a155a5-007-1774fda3d24df3%26athancid%3Dnull%26athena%3Dtrue">Walmart states</a> that the kit can provide results within 24 to 48 hours after the lab has received the sample, but this was not the case.Seven days after mailing in my test, I finally received an email from MyLab Box on January 26 notifying me of my COVID-19 test result. But when I clicked on my negative results to read the report, I was confused. The document said my test was collected on January 9 and reported on January 22. It also stated that my testing report was generated on January 29.When asked about the result turnaround time, MyLab Box's customer service manager told Insider in an email that the majority of its tests have a 24 to 48 hour result turnaround time, but on "rare occasions," this may differ due to shipping delays and demand spikes."We are all living in unprecedented times which pose many unexpected challenges to delivery services, health facilities, and our staff alike," the email read. "We pride ourselves on our rapid turnaround time, in fact, it is a key performance metric we hold ourselves accountable to both internally and our valued partners nationwide."And in regards to the test result report, the company says the dates are "mainly intended for internal monitoring and some reporting purposes."At this time all labs are required to report both positive and negative COVID-19 test results to help the department of health track and manage the pandemic," the email continued."<h2>My final verdict: Amazon's DxTerity is the winner</h2><div type="image" title="DxTerity's mail-in COVID-19 testing kit." height="1441" width="1922" msid="80615624" hostid="261"></div>After taking both tests, I can confidently say that I prefer Amazon's DxTerity test over Walmart's MyLab Box due to DxTerity's straightforward instructions and result turnaround time. At-home coronavirus tests offer convenience that can't be found by going to a clinic in-person. For starters, the testing kit is mailed to your doorstep, which means you don't have to walk or<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/drive-thru-coronavirus-testing-lines-photos-2020-7"> drive to a nearby testing</a> facility. And if <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bermuda-partnered-costco-for-140-pre-travel-covid-19-tests-2021-1">you're in a rush to get a test</a> but can't book a time slot or can't wait in line, mail-in kits may be your next best option.However, given the price of these two kits, I would rather go to a testing facility than order another mail-in test.

Test kits are expected to ship in seven to 12 days, the White House said. Orders placed on the US Postal Service website on Tuesday said the tests would begin to ship "in late January."Eight different brands of at-home, rapid COVID tests are authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration. The White House has officially reached a deal with the US Postal Service to distribute the 500 million tests, and it plans to order an additional 500 million tests on top of its initial order. <h2>Will the government automatically send free rapid test kits to all American households? </h2>No. Americans who want free tests need to order them. The free test kits are limited to four per address, the White House said, with high-risk communities and those hardest hit by the Omicron variant prioritized for access to tests. <h2>Is my state or city giving out free <keyword id="8962516" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="covid-test" source="Orion">COVID test</keyword> kits?</h2>Depending on where you live, yes!Major cities, such as <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/nyc-starts-handing-out-free-covid-test-kits-as-cases-surge-to-staggering-heights/3465292/">New York City</a>; <a href="https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/where-to-get-at-home-rapid-testing-kits-covid-19-washington-dc-libraries/65-6ea558d7-3f48-4b49-b0c8-534442767700">Washington, DC</a>; and <a href="https://6abc.com/free-covid-tests-philadelphia-nj-coronavirus-rapid-test/11367191/">Philadelphia</a>, and states — including Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Washington, Iowa, Ohio, Maryland, and Colorado — are offering free COVID-19 test kits to some or all residents, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/12/22/1065799880/as-omicron-surges-these-states-and-cities-are-focused-on-giving-out-free-covid-t">NPR</a> reported.<h2>Can I get the cost of a COVID-19 rapid test reimbursed by my insurance in the meantime?</h2>Yes.The Biden administration announced in early December that it would also issue a mandate requiring private insurers to fully reimburse the cost of up to eight rapid, at-home COVID-19 test kits purchased over the counter per month. The reimbursement requirement officially went into effect on January 15.But the reimbursement mandate won't be retroactive for past purchases, which means the millions of Americans who bought rapid test kits in preparation for the holidays have to shoulder those costs out of pocket. Vermont <a href="https://governor.vermont.gov/press-release/vermont-adopts-emergency-rule-expanding-insurance-coverage-covid-19-rapid-home-tests">has a state-level mandate</a> that requires all insurers who operate in the state to reimburse all over-the-counter tests.But while most major private insurers cover the costs of COVID-19 tests conducted in a medical setting or at a test site, many insurers will only reimburse over-the-counter COVID test kits that were ordered by a doctor.

DoorDash is now delivering COVID-19 test kits in some US cities

New Delhi, Apr 24 () Pune-based molecular diagnostics company Mylab Discovery Solutions on Friday said it has joined hands with global contract research organisation Syngene to cater to the country's demand for RT-PCR COVID-19 testing kits amid the pandemic. This is an important step to make India self-reliant in COVID-19 testing, Mylab said in a statement. After partnerships with Serum Institute and AP Globale to scale up its manufacturing operations, this collaboration with Syngene will help Mylab secure a steady supply of indigenously made raw materials, it added. This will help in meeting the demand of RT-PCR-based COVID-19 testing kits in the country and reduce uncertainties, the statement said. Biocon Executive Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said, "We are pleased with this partnership to make it a truly indigenous kit." In similar vein, Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla said India's response to COVID-19 has affirmed its global leadership. The CEO said he is happy to have a partnership with Syngene International to make Mylab's COVID-19 testing kit more indigenous, reducing dependency on foreign raw materials and to further strengthen India's self-reliance in response to COVID-19, he added. "With this collaboration, we will reduce the dependence of India on foreign testing kits and deliver our own Indian testing kits," Poonawalla said. After receiving ICMR and drug and medical device regulator CDSCO approval, Mylab has already supplied testing kits to ICMR-approved labs in over 20 states, the statement said. "It is great to see how the leaders of Indian biotechnology industry have come together and are leading by example. With their help, India will not have to depend on other countries to test its citizens for COVID-19," Mylab Discovery Solutions MD Hasmukh Rawal said. Mylab has been scaling up its production and will be able to deliver a total of 700,000 RT-PCR tests before May 3, 2020, the statement said. AKT HRS

Mylab joins hands with Syngene to cater to rising demand for COVID-19 testing kits

New Delhi, Apr 2 () Pune-based molecular diagnostics firm Mylab Discovery Solutions on Thursday said it has partnered with Serum India CEO Adar Poonawalla and AP Globale Chairman Abhijit Pawar to scale up the operations and escalate faster delivery of its COVID-19 testing kits.The test kit by the company was the first 'Made in India' kit to receive commercial approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSC), and is named as Mylab PathoDetect COVID-19 Qualitative PCR kit, it had earlier said. Funds invested will be used for scaling production of COVID-19 testing kits and expansion of molecular diagnostic solutions, Mylab said in a statement.However, the company did not share financial details of the deals.Commenting on the development, Poonawalla said: "In the next few weeks we will be ramping up the production of the Covid-19 testing kits taking from 1.5 lakh tests/week to 20 lakh tests/week".The shortage of testing kits will come to an end in a month or two, he added."Mylab and its team have shown exceptionally innovative capabilities when they were able to develop a time-saving testing kit within 6-weeks of its outbreak...The investment towards Mylab will enable them to build their infrastructure and expand their capabilities further," Poonawalla said.Global innovation is the need of the hour to curb this pandemic that has affected millions across the world, he added."This partnership will ensure we do our bit to help in this time of crisis," Pawar said.Emphasising the importance of the partnership, Mylab Discovery Solutions MD Hasmukh Rawal said: "This partnership can impact billions of people across the world, especially India".Mylab's COVID-19 test kit screens and detects the infection within 2.5 hours as compared with over 7 hours taken by current protocols, the company had earlier said.Biotechnology firm Mylab Discovery Solutions Pvt Ltd offers a wide spectrum of molecular diagnostics solutions, developed in-house by its R&amp;D team in Pune.

Mylab partners with Adar Poonawalla,  Abhijit Pawar to scale up production of COVID-19 test kits

New Delhi, May 7 () Pune-based Mylab Discovery Solutions on Thursday said it has expanded production capacity to manufacture COVID-19 RT-PCR test kits that would enable 2 lakh tests per day to meet the growing demand in the country.Until now, Mylab has already manufactured testing kits for conducting 6.5 lakh tests and has supplied them to 140 sites, including labs and hospitals in over 20 states, Mylab said in a statement.As per the production plan, the company is scaling-up its manufacturing to enable 2 lakh tests per day, it added."It overwhelms me to see our efforts with Mylab in making India self-reliant in combating COVID-19 fructified," Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla said.As the production capacity increases from 20,000 tests per day to 2 lakh COVID-19 tests a day, "we will now be able to meet India's growing demand for testing completely," he added.The company has also received approval from Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for its RNA extraction kit Maverick to further streamline the RT-PCR testing process, Mylab said."We aim to make India self-reliant with high-quality testing.
