TBD cePCR Test Panel
IGeneX
Sample type: Whole blood
Requires fasting: No
Phlebotomy required
Details
This panel is used to identify tickborne disease pathogens via culture-enhanced PCR (cePCR). The sample is first incubated in media so microorganisms in the blood can grow and multiply, then it is tested by PCR.
