Improve Lyme disease confirmation testing with easy-to-use Line Immunoassay (LIA) test strips from Gold Standard Diagnostics

The LIA strips contain specific Borrelia burgdorferi antigen proteins that serve as markers for general infection and for specific disease stages (early, disseminated and late stage). Both the IgG and IgM line blots are substantially equivalent to traditional Western Blot technology, but offer advancements in usability and objectivity through use of Line Immunoassay technology.

GSD’s LIA test strips offer numerous enhancements including improved sensitivity and specificity, consistent results, large lot sizes, easier handling and automation options.

Compared to traditional “Western blots”, the GSD LIA strips offer simple procedure, intuitive interpretation, easy handling, durability, sharply-defined antigen strips and easy automation. GSD’s IgG and IgM LIA strips satisfy CDC recommendations for confirmation testing.
