In order to order a Western blot, IgeneX Laboratories, Advanced Testing and Medical Diagnostics Laboratory are preferred laboratories for Lyme-literate doctors as they test more bands, including bands 31 and 34, which are specific to Borrelia burgdorferi.

IGeneX Inc., a CLIA and New York-approved Reference Laboratory, specializing in testing for tick-borne diseases, is pleased to announce the launch of three new tests that are more inclusive and specific for aiding in diagnosis of Borreliosis (Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever, Borreliosis).

This laboratory is based in California, USA, and specializes among other things in checking for Lyme borreliosis. Igenex's western blot testing helps distinguish more Lyme-specific antibody bands than those usually provided by other laboratories. They can send a package to you, so you will get a nurse's blood in your nearest surgery (if your doctor agrees). Instead, you give the blood to the laboratory by courier. It takes six weeks for the tests to return by mail.

Here in the United States, Lyme disease is a major problem and we really need to find solutions to some of the vulnerabilities that we have, particularly in diagnosing this infection. Now, the researchers from IgeneX labs are trying to make metabolomics more realistic in clinical settings. The main hurdle is equipment: Laboratories like theirs use a different type of mass spectrometer than hospitals do, so the team is currently adapting its technique to a platform of mass spectrometry already used in many hospitals to diagnose metabolic birth defects.
