COVID-19 Rapid Test - Bulk Purchase Option

Dear Members,

We have received multiple inquiries from operators about the need for a more reasonably-priced COVID-19 Rapid Test solution. We have found a test that is affordable with Unite Medical who can supply bulk pricing of $14/per test. The test is CareStart COVID-19 Antigen tests by Access Bio, Inc. This is a rapid, 10-minute, test that has been authorized for Emergency Use by the FDA.

They can sell it at this reduced price because it is a bulk purchase. The minimum order is 1 case. There are 640 tests in 1 case, so pricing per case is $8,960/case.

This is a shallow nasal (and non-invasive) test. This is not a PRC lab-run test. The cartridge will indicate the results and can be read as negative or positive. Download the flyer below for more information and photos.

Therefore, there are two ways to order depending on number of tests desired:
1) Through PBA if you need LESS than 1 case.

  • The case will be shipped to one central ordering operator, then you will pick them up. If you're interested in this approach, please email me with how many tests you're interested in ordering. I will send you a credit authorization form and once we get to 640 tests (equally 1 case), I will then place the order.


2) Direct via Unite if you need at LEAST 1 case.

  • If you want at least 1 case, order direct via Unite order form below.
  • Another way to approach is it is to "phone a friend"! Team up with another member (or multiple members) and order a case (or more) direct via Unite order form below.
  • Multiple case order can be shipped to multiple locations.

I've linked more information below, the order form and our designated contact, Chad.
