The two tier protocol recommends that all positive ELISA results be confirmed by a Western Blot test. However, current ELISA assays produce a large number of false positives, resulting in many time-consuming confirmatory tests which can delay reporting of results. The superior specificity of the C6 Lyme ELISA minimizes false positives, thereby eliminating the majority of confirmatory Western Blots. And with a turnaround time for the C6 test of only one hour, your Lyme disease testing and reporting is significantly streamlined.
