Description

Biometrix AcuDart tests have a sensitivity greater than 90%, making them more accurate than any other DTC test or tests from commercial laboratories. The Biometrix AcuDart Lyme Disease Screening Test is the most comprehensive and accurate test available for Lyme because it identifies antibodies to the following nine Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi B31, B. burgdorferi 297, B. californiensis, B. mayonii, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. spielmanii, B. bissettii and B. valaisianaa.

Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne disease, is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases globally, affecting millions of people around the world.
