Armin Labs is a diagnostic laboratory that specializes in testing for tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease. Armin Labs offers a variety of testing options for Lyme disease, including:
1. Antibody Testing: This test looks for antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Armin Labs offers two types of antibody tests: ELISA (Enzyme- Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and Western Blot.
2. PCR Testing: This test looks for the presence of the bacteria that causes Lyme disease in a patient's blood or tissue sample. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing is a highly sensitive method that can detect even small amounts of the bacteria.
3. Lymphocyte Transformation Testing (LTT): This test measures the patient's immune response to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. LTT is a highly sensitive test that can detect early stages of Lyme disease.
4. CD57 Test: This test measures the number of CD57 cells in a patient's blood. CD57 cells are a type of immune cell that is depleted in patients with chronic Lyme disease.
Armin Labs uses advanced testing methods and technologies to provide accurate and reliable results for Lyme disease. The lab also offers testing for other tick-borne diseases, such as Babesia, Bartonella, and Anaplasma, to provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for patients with suspected tick-borne.
