Ordering Info for Diagnostics
Complete K2 form
Look at pricing/kit info
Place order
Please understand that our tests are assembled
by hand. We are not a warehouse. We use volunteers to keep our
costs as low as possible. Placing your order as far in advance as
possible will help us get your order out in a timely fashion. Thank
you.
1. Science with a Mission diagnostics are not for
use inside the United States or its territories. So the first thing you must
do if you wish to place an order, is to complete the
K2 form which states
that you will not use any tests we sell to you inside the US. Put your
contact info on the top of page one, then sign and date the bottom (right
side) of page two.
Completed form can be mailed to us at:
Science with a Mission
602 Massapoag Ave.
Sharon, MA 02067
2. In addition to the
cost for the diagnostics, you are responsible for the cost of shipping. Most
often the tests are shipped to someone in the states who will be traveling
to the end-use country. We can ship by US postal mail or UPS. Please
understand that SMI is not responsible for the shipping and cannot provide a
shipping cost until after the tests have actually been sent and an exact
cost is known. We do not add any handling fees or extra charges.
Kits do not include lancets. Single-use, spring-loaded safety lancets are
available for 20 cents each. The depth of our lancets is 2mm, so if the
people you will be testing have thick, leathery skin…our lancets may not be
appropriate.
If the people you serve have thick blood (due to dehydration or other
factors) you may wish to purchase additional transfer pipettes. They cost 5
cents each.

H. pylori
Our HIV diagnostics are sold in kits containing 30
tests, 30 transfer pipettes, and sufficient buffer for 30 tests. The cost is
$1 per test, so one kit would cost $30. You may request the tests to be
individually packaged or in 10-packs. The 10-packs are most appropriate for
someone ordering a large number (300 or more) of tests. Ten cassettes are
contained in a heat-sealed pouch, which also has a Ziploc-style closure.
Once you tear open the heat seal, and open the Ziploc, you can remove as
many tests are you need. Then re-close the pouch with the Ziploc closure.
This method of packaging takes up much less room for traveling and results
in far less trash to throw away when all cassettes have been used. However,
if you will be using only 1 or 2 tests per day, you should purchase the
individually packaged tests.
