For over 25 years, IGeneX has been at the forefront of research and development of diagnostic testing for Lyme disease, Relapsing Fever, and other tick-borne diseases. Our team of experienced, hands-on experts develop our tests in-house using a wider spectrum of relevant proteins and strains that look for and detect more. Our mission is to aid Lyme literate doctors and other physicians in their diagnosis of tick-borne illnesses by providing the most comprehensive testing possible.

Identify your patient’s symptoms, review available test panels for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, and order the corresponding test kit.
Each kit includes specific forms that you’ll need to complete with your patient to determine which specific diagnostic tests to order.*
*Incomplete paperwork can result in testing delays
Once all the forms are complete, instruct your patient to bring the test kit and all contents, including the paperwork, to a blood draw site. Once the sample is collected, either the patient or the blood draw site will need to mail the kit to IGeneX for analysis. A preprinted/prepaid FedEx shipping label is included with the kit.
You will be notified when your patient’s test results are posted and available for your review in the physician portal.
The Miscellaneous Collection Kit is compatible with tick-borne disease tests that require samples other than blood or urine, such as cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), tissue, placenta or breast milk.
The Blood Collection Kit is compatible with most of the tick-borne disease tests and panels. The panels are usually the most comprehensive available for testing for Borreliosis/Lyme disease as well as co-infection(s) with other tick-borne illnesses.
The Urine Collection Kit is compatible with all tick-borne disease tests that require urine samples. These tests are particularly useful during the acute phase of a tick-borne disease infection before antibodies are present as well as for seronegative patients, patients with vague symptoms of long duration, and previously-treated patients with recurring symptoms.
