History

Abingdon Health is a UK in-vitro diagnostics company whose capabilities centre on rapid testing and lateral-flow technology. It operates both as a contract development and manufacturing provider and as a developer or commercialisation partner for branded and collaborative diagnostic products. Its activities can cover assay design, development and verification, process scale-up, manufacturing, and product support. This gives the company a role extending beyond that of a standalone test brand to include diagnostic technology services and manufacturing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Abingdon Health was involved in the AbC-19 antibody test project, which brought increased attention to the company in the UK rapid-testing and antibody-testing sectors. The company has continued to position its business around in-vitro diagnostic development, lateral-flow platforms, and manufacturing services. Abingdon Health is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker ABDX. Because products and collaborative projects may change with regulatory status, commercial arrangements, and market demand, the current status of individual products should be confirmed through recent company materials.
