IBrands Global, a supply chain platform and brand collective that recently acquired Vendx, an touchscreen vending machine provider, has deployed its first COVID test kit vending machine at the FindTape retail store in North Brunswick, New Jersey, according to a press release.

With a touchless system, users may scan the machine's QR code and purchase a kit using Apple Pay or credit card. IBrands Global will be alerted when machine stock is running low and refill to capacity.

The machine contains 300 FDA-approved iHealth (two tests per box) and 400 FloFlex COVID tests (one test per box), both of which are eligible for reimbursement by insurance via sharing an image of the receipt.

Prices for the tests start at $29.99 and are eligible for insurance reimbursement.

Kits can also be purchased in advance from home and redeemed at the vending machine, which is sprayed down with a 90-day antimicrobial spray.

The company is looking to place additional machines throughout the Tristate area, with plans to roll out additional touchless machines nationwide.
