Lyme cePCR (Culture enhanced) (1100C)
OVERVIEW OF CULTURE TESTING
Culture testing, a technique of taking a sample of a pathogen and allowing it to grow over a period of time, is widely considered to be the “gold standard” for diagnosis of tick-borne illnesses. Until now, culturing tick-borne pathogens has been very difficult and too expensive to be used for clinical diagnosis.
After many years of research and development, IGeneX is pleased to introduce cePCR™ (Culture Enhanced PCR) for all of the major tick-borne illnesses. IGeneX is currently the only lab that can perform culture testing for these diseases.
HOW cePCR Works?
In culturing, a clinical sample from the body (e.g. blood) is incubated in media. During this incubation period, micro-organisms in the sample grow and multiply. The sample is then tested by PCR to identify the pathogens.
ADVANTAGES OF cePCR
Improved Sensitivity: Provides much higher sensitivity than standard PCR testing.
Early-Stage Detection: Effective for patients without an EM rash who are thought to be at moderate or high risk for early-disseminated Lyme disease but who have not yet seroconverted.
Comprehensive Screening: Screens for multiple tick-borne diseases in one test.
Highly Specific: Obtaining cultures before antibiotic use improves the chances of identifying the offending microorganism, which improves patient care.
