Detection of Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella
Advanced Detection of Borrelia, Babesia and Bartonella
We provide access to a cutting-edge test designed to detect the presence of Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella genospecies in a patient’s DNA. This test utilizes the latest molecular biology techniques, specifically quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), to analyze DNA extracted from blood samples.
How the Test Works
The test screens for 23 of the most common strains of Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella genospecies. It is performed on DNA extracted from both blood cells and serum, ensuring comprehensive screening.
How the Test Works Quantitative Polymercase Chain reaction
qPCR is an advanced laboratory technique that monitors the amplification of specific DNA molecules. This method is highly sensitive, enabling the detection of even minute quantities of pathogenic DNA. Each sample undergoes rigorous analysis to determine the presence of the 23 targeted genospecies.
Ensuring Accurate Results
To guarantee the reliability and accuracy of the results, each reaction is performed in triplicate. Additionally, the test includes both positive and negative controls for every strain to further validate the findings.
Detailed Reporting
After the test is completed, patients receive a comprehensive report detailing the presence of specific strains in their cells or serum. The report includes a quantification parameter known as the Ct value (threshold cycle), providing insight into the concentration of the detected DNA.
