SaliStick is a new pregnancy test kit created by an Israeli start-up that uses saliva to detect pregnancy. The kit was introduced in Israel and will be offered on international markets starting in 2023. Without the need for a blood or urine sample, the diagnostics breakthrough SaliStick test offers precise results in little more than 10 minutes.
“Saliva is the key to rapid diagnostics for a variety of medical reasons. It is the only non-invasive, easy, and hygienic means to detect hormones, viruses, and even diseases,” said Prof Aaron Palmon, Co-founder of Salignostics.
“With SaliStick, we leverage the powerful diagnostics abilities we have been able to create from analyzing saliva. This product completely removes the need for blood and urine samples when testing for pregnancy,” Prof Aaron added.
The start-up firm has built a new manufacturing plant with a one million unit monthly production capacity in northern Israel’s Lavon Industrial Zone .
Salignostics was founded in 2016 by a group of academics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The company’s founders developed user-friendly devices that accurately diagnose diseases including malaria, Covid-19, cardiac risk, and other disorders after years of scientific research on saliva.
The company has so far secured $16 million in total capital investment to support sales, marketing, and R&D, and is still looking for more money from investors.
