Lyme Disease (Borrelia burgdorferi)

Lyme Disease is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and spread by ticks. 

Our control delivers a true third-party solution for the detection of Lyme Disease on most immunoassay analysers. All samples are conveniently supplied in a user-friendly, liquid ready-to-use format.

Analytes 

Borrelia burgdorferi IgG | Borrelia burgdorferi IgM

ToRCH 

ToRCH is most commonly associated with congenital anomalies caused by a variety of pathogens including Treponema pallidum (syphilis), Varicella Zoster Virus, Rubella, and Cytomegalovirus. Most ToRCH infections cause mild maternal morbidity but can have serious consequences on the foetus. 

Our ToRCH portfolio includes positive controls for both IgG and IgM antibodies in addition to a negative control. Each control is manufactured using human plasma and is suitable for use with most immunoassay analysers. The availability of liquid ready-to-use samples helps to reduce preparation time and the potential for human error.
