which test kit reliable..?

This the so called 100&% detectable rate made by malaysian..sold out online so currently very hard to find it.

so far pharmacy near my house always sold out

Maybe it's affected by storage condition? Most of them need to be stored below 30°c. Our climate exceeds that.

And we buy online, some parcels become really warm when received. Who knows how long they were left in the hot van during transit from delivery hub to recipients. Add in the interstate transit (for outstation buyers)....

true, if follow this argument none of the test kits will be safe from the weather.
Even retail shops units are sent using lorry/expose to weather..

Maybe the distributors take special precautions when delivering to shops? Such as night journeys?

In addition, perhaps their original carton boxes will be able to insulate a bit.

i thought the fastest PCR Test is 5 hours. never know money can speed up PCR test chemical reaction.

Yes. That's why I doubt the accuracy of these test kits.

yeah, money can jump queue. "express lane" ?

where you got this fake info that omicron variant is not detectable?

the fastest one is 2 hours...this one is since last year's end

yesterday someone paid RM380...got her result in 4 hours

buy expensive ones
if u can afford it or can find it....try abbott...but RM20+

overseas people use abbott can enter country, not required PCR
they have a list of approved test kits...most of which u can't find here

Actual rapid PCR is only takes 30mins in the lab

The reason why it takes a long is because of logistics and administrative taking up most of the time

Where to get BinaxNow in Malaysia?

no idea..don't ask me

plus i don't think shops are gonna stock up RM20+ test kit because they know it's a hard sell
almost nobody is gonna buy it
all will go for the RM5.90 and below test kits...even salixium already got people complain expensive...what more abbott test kit
even the one sold in thailand isn't binaxnow but already nearing RM30

What can we do now? We all know that there are tons of false negative walking around. But at least the highly infectious one will show positive.

Honestly though, people need to stop saying "Normal flu", "allergies" la when they have symptoms.. cause based on my experience, all those who keep claiming "normal flu", "allergies" all end up being positive. (PCR tested). There was only one person who claimed "normal flu" recently and ended tested negative, but tested positive for dengue. So yeah that's different story.

Actually it is true, not accurate. House saliva tests all -ve, the moment go clinic to do RTK with nose poking, all turn +ve.

If close contact or exhibit the symptoms, be extra cautious.

For thai price at 230 baht it reasonable compared to others in Thailand

Malaysia is just because the govt set a ceiling price which causes oversupply and then to fix the problem start a panic buy of test kit to fix the price goes higher

Saliva test it is only good when you are already infected and rtk it is good for onset of symptoms before spreading to your body

That’s why PCR it is golden standard because it account above both factors

Malaysians are mostly retarded panic buying test kits because it is already proven not necessary to daily test but weekly it is suffice enough

they actually have cheap ones if u want

abbott for them is also expensive but hongkie of course see the price as cheap
