 Expired Quickly Nov 03, 2009
We had several cases of confirmed strep through my daycare over the summer, so I bought these test kits to pre-screen the kids so the parents wouldn't have to run to the doctor when they had no reason, other than exposure, to suspect strep. I never got a positive result (other than with the control), so I never managed to get a doctor's office to confirm the accuracy of my results. (I've never been entirely confident in my ability to swab the throat correctly.)
My big issue is that I used half the tests, and now (approximately 6 months later) the rest are expired. I'm totally bummed...I expected to use them through the season, but now they're no good. It definitely saved me many hours and co-pays at the doctor's office, so for that, it was well worth the money.
 It works, price is good, what more can I ask for? Jul 05, 2009
The price was good, the kit was packed neatly and compactly with all the parts needed, and it works!

Works Great Jan 12, 2009
I didn't want to have to spend a lot of money on a doctor's office call and a strep test at the hospital lab unless my daughters really needed them. So, I got this home strep kit. If it's positive, I'll contact my doctor and do whatever he wants us to do -- probably go to the hospital lab and get another test so they can culture it.
It paid for itself the first time. I had a sore throat, did the test on myself, and it came out negative. Saved me a doctor's visit. I gargled with apple cider vinegar. (I know, it's repulsive, but it works.) Sore throat went away in a couple days.

 False negative results Dec 08, 2008
Prompt delivery, however test is useless. It gives false negative results. 24 hour lab culture confirmed strep, yet this test showed negative result. Even the included positive control showed negative results.
This kit is either useless or I was given a bad batch... Either way it was a waste of money.

 Easy strep test kit Sep 15, 2008
Easy to use and fast test for strep A. My kids are prone to strep throat infections. If the test is positive, I go to the pediatrician right away.
