Your DNA is isolated from a blood sample provided to us. Your DNA is used in Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) testing, where we screen the sample for the presence of Borrelia, Babesia or Bartonella DNA. QPCR is an advanced laboratory technique that monitors the amplification of a specific DNA molecule.
PaldiSpot analyses DNA extracted from your blood cells and serum to screen for 23 strains of Borrelia, Babesia and Bartonella genospecies.

Genetic testing analyses small sections of your DNA. Using DNA extracted from your sample, we create what is known as polymerase chain reactions (PCR) or PCRs, which are copies of small segments of your DNA, to carry out molecular and genetic analyses. The tests are carried out in triplicates and the results enable us to determine your risk for developing a specific range of conditions.

Our PrediSpot genetic health test can help determine your risk of developing a wide range of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, coronary artery disease, rheumatoid arthritis and Type 1 diabetes. Our PrimeSpot genetic test can be used to accurately diagnose Lyme Disease or chronic fatigue syndrome, and our PaldiSpot genetic test has been developed to help guide the treatment of patients with Lyme disease by identifying the particular strain that is present.
Our SNPs genetic test provides you and your personal healthcare provider with in-depth information about your responses to certain types of medical treatment.
No, you can either order a PrediSpot genetic health test yourself or go through your personal healthcare provider, if you prefer. All other Biocentaur tests need to be ordered through your personal healthcare provider. Simply select which test you would like, download our letter and take it along to your next appointment.
We will send a sample collection to you or your personal healthcare provider in the mail. For our PrediSpot test, we will require a swab sample taken from the inside of your cheek. Find out more about taking a sample on our sample collection page. For our PrimeSpot, PaldiSpot and SNPs test, we require a blood sample which should be taken by your personal healthcare provider.
Genetic testing analyses small sections of your DNA to identify variations or mutations that could affect your health now or in the future.
