The TickPlex panel represents a significant advancement in the detection of Lyme disease and its frequent co-infections. Traditional testing protocols, such as the standard two-tier ELISA and Western Blot, often miss the multi-pathogen nature of tick-borne illness or fail to detect "persister" forms of the bacteria. TickPlex addresses these gaps by utilizing highly sensitive technology with a reported sensitivity of approximately 95% and specificity of 98%, outperforming many older IFT methods. We facilitate access to both the TickPlex Basic and TickPlex Plus panels. While the Basic panel focuses specifically on multiple strains of Borrelia (including B. burgdorferi, B. garinii, and B. afzelii), the TickPlex Plus is an expansive screening that simultaneously detects IgM and IgG antibodies for a wide array of co-pathogens.

This includes bacterial and viral agents such as Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Coxsackievirus. By screening for these elusive pathogens in a single panel, ArminLabs provides a more complete picture of the "infectious burden" that may be driving chronic, multi-systemic symptoms. This facilitated access is invaluable for individuals in Calgary who have received negative results from standard provincial tests but continue to experience the debilitating neurological and inflammatory symptoms characteristic of tick-borne disease.

Our modern environment exposes the body to biological toxins that can compromise long-term health, yet these are rarely investigated in traditional clinical settings. ToxiPlex is a first-of-its-kind direct enzyme immunoassay designed to detect the actual presence of five of the most clinically relevant mycotoxins—toxic compounds produced by certain molds—circulating in your blood. Unlike urine tests, which only show what your body has successfully excreted, the ToxiPlex serum test provides a clearer picture of the current toxic burden still present in your system. We facilitate the professional collection and transport required for this deep-dive analysis, which screens for:

Aflatoxin B1: A potent carcinogen often found in contaminated agricultural products.

Ochratoxin A: A nephrotoxin frequently linked to water-damaged buildings and specific grains.

Deoxynivalenol (DON): Known for its immunosuppressive effects and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Zearalenone: An estrogenic mycotoxin that can disrupt hormonal balance.

Fumonisin: Associated with neurological and immune system interference.

With an accuracy of ≥ 93% and extremely low detection limits (from 0.15 ppb), ToxiPlex offers a precise diagnostic tool for individuals who suspect that mold exposure in their home or workplace is a factor in their chronic illness. By identifying these specific toxic signatures, ArminLabs provides the evidence-based data you need to address environmental illness and support your body’s recovery with targeted detoxification protocols.
