Abingdon Health

Abingdon Health is a British manufacturer of lateral flow assay diagnostic tests.[1] It is under contract to the British government for the supply of AbC-19 rapid antibody tests,[2] a test for the presence of IgG antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein,[3] as part of the UK Rapid Test Consortium program.[4] On 27 January 2021, the Financial Times reported that "all outstanding orders" had been cancelled by the Department of Health on 11 January 2021, following Abingdon's failure to obtain approval for home use of its lateral flow test by 25 December 2020.[5]
