Nanotrap® Lyme Antigen Test (Nanotrap® LA Test)

A GAME CHANGING TOOL FOR LYME DISEASE DIAGNOSIS


There is a critical need for a fast, reliable, and accurate Lyme disease test

• The Nanotrap® Lyme Antigen (LA) Test is a novel, high sensitivity, DIRECT test for Lyme that will provide valuable information to assist a physician in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease at most stages of infection.

• Unlike other clinical Lyme disease tests that are INDIRECT, the Nanotrap® LA Test is a non-invasive test that provides highly sensitive and specific direct detection of the Lyme antigen, Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), in a patient’s urine sample.

• The Nanotrap® LA Test can provide valuable information, at anytime in the infection cycle, about the presence of the Bb antigen when used at the time of initial infection, during and after a course of treatment, and in some cases of recurrent disease.

The Nanotrap® LA Test

The Ceres' Nanotrap® Lyme Antigen Test uses the Nanotrap® technology to directly measure Lyme antigens in urine using a Western Blot format. The Nanotrap® test is designed to provide high sensitivity and accuracy, delivering confident results at the earliest stages of infection. The Nanotrap® LA Test uses a direct approach and tests for the Lyme bacterial antigen, which is present in the body and can be detected within days of initial infection. Conversely, the Nanotrap® LA Test will provide a negative result indicating no presence of the antigen if the infection has been eliminated with effective treatment.
