The first-ever saliva-based pregnancy tests are now available in the UK and Ireland.
Salistick, from UK company Abingdon Simply Test, is offering a welcome alternative to urine-based pregnancy tests, with the ability to test for pregnancy any place, any time.
The test is based on a new technology that detects the pregnancy hormone Beta-hCG in saliva. Users are recommended to take the test a few days after a missed period for accuracy. The result is shown within 15 minutes and has shown 97.35% accuracy when taken two days after a missed period.
