The Venders, a developer of kiosks, automated retailing and digital dispensing systems, has teamed with myLAB Box, a provider of at-home test kits for infectious diseases to make testing available through vending machines at colleges and universities, according to a press release.

Testing is anonymous, and all tests include a consultation with a licensed physician, said Robert Bienias, VP of business development for The Venders.

The price for the kit is inclusive of the testing, shipping, telehealth consult, online electronic results and prescriptions.

The company is filling the machines with a COVID-19 test that will provide lab-certified results within 24 hours, and an STD test, said Shira Litwack, business development executive for myLAB Box.
