Explained: What is the world's first saliva-based pregnancy test kit launched in the UK? Salistick, created by Salignostics, a Jerusalem-based start-up, is an alternative to traditional urine-based pregnancy tests. A company called Abingdon Health has created a new pregnancy test that uses saliva instead of urine, which makes it more convenient and enjoyable to use. In the UK, around 22.5 million pregnancy tests were done last year. Before launching the product, Salignostics conducted extensive clinical trials in Israel involving more than 300 pregnant and non-pregnant women.
