Borrelia testing has gone through various generations as better technology has become available. GenBio maintains the last two generations of testing since the ImmunoDOT Borrelia test uses a polyvalent conjugate and the DotBlot Borrelia (the newer generation tests) offer IgG specific and IgM specific results. Some laboratories prefer a polyvalent conjugate. GenBio maintains CAP performance files for both tests and both tests are manufactured according to the strictest standards.
