This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0316U only for Lyme Borrelia Nanotrap® Urine Antigen Test from Galaxy Diagnostics Inc. The test uses specialized nanoparticles (Nanotrap®) to capture outer surface protein A (OspA) present in urine of patients infected with Borrelia species, the organisms that cause Lyme disease. Following sample enrichment to ensure detection of small quantities of OspA, the test uses the Western blot lab procedure to quantify the protein as an indicator of active infection.
