In a statement, Abingdon said: “As well as providing distribution support, Abingdon has been providing Salignostics with contract development services in scaling-up the Salistick product for manufacture and will continue to provide Salignostics with contract manufacturing services going forward.

"Abingdon is launching Salistick with Superdrug in the UK, initially rolling out into 400 stores and online at Superdrug.com.”

Salistic will also launch through Abingdon’s direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel Abingdon Simply Test.

Chris Yates, CEO of Abingdon Health plc, commented: “We are delighted to announce the launch of Salistic initially across 400 Superdrug stores and at Superdrug.com.

"This novel technology provides women with an enhanced user-experience; offering the ability to test anywhere, anytime, and for the experience to be shared with a partner and other loved ones.

"We are pleased to have supported our partner Salignostics Ltd through the development process into manufacturing and now commercial launch, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration as we move forward.”
