Lyme + Bartonella – 1 day

Mild (1+) to moderate proteinuria (2+) is not a problem, but large amounts of protein (3+) interfere with the Nanotrap assay. 

Generally: Recommend that females do not submit samples while heavy menstruation, as large amounts of blood inhibit the test. 

No, it shouldn’t. It actually might potentially help dislodge any bacteria stuck to the bladder wall by flushing them out into the urine (like with E. coli for a UTI).  

No, but collecting on younger children can be a bit difficult. Collecting multiple samples within a 24-hour period is okay. IFA will be hard on kids under 2, due to how antibodies are developed in children.  

No, urine specimens for Lyme + Co-infections tests should not be frozen. 

40 mL of urine is the required minimum volume for the test. 

See table below:

No, the Lyme + Co-infections tests are drop-ship only and will ship in a separate collection kit box because they have different collection needs. 

Don’t panic. Most of the materials inside the kit are still usable. The expiration date on the kit or at least one of the included tubes has expired. Please check the individual tubes before using them. If a tube is past it’s date, then they can be swapped out for standard SST tubes (yellow top, tiger top) and EDTA tubes (lavender top) as long as those tubes have not expired. Any expired tubes will be rejected per CLIA regulations.
