Epitogen Lyme Tests

A game-changing solution for accurate Lyme disease diagnosis.

  • Specificity: >99% for IgG and 97% for IgM
  • IgG Sensitivity: 92.4% 
  • IgM Sensitivity (Acute Lyme;<6 weeks): 79.4% 
  • Combined IgG-IgM sensitivity: >95%

 

Using a peptide-based precision (120  epitopes corresponding to 37 Borrelia antigens), our tests exhibit a marked improvement in sensitivity, outperforming existing commercial assays without a loss in specificity.
