Essential Barrier Screen + Lymphocyte Mapping

GAM assesses overall production of Immunoglobulin G, Immunoglobulin A and Immunoglobulin M in the body—an
important measurement of general immunity. Total immunoglobulins testing can be a strong indicator of a disease or condition. This panel can shed light on the potential cause of unexpected negative results on Cyrex testing by identifying whether insufficient antibody production may have contributed to those results. Additionally, acquired immunodeficiency may be reversible when the contributing condition is identified and addressed.. Learn more

Total Serum IgG/IgA/IgM

Array 2 measures intestinal permeability to large molecules, which inflame the immune system. Clinically utilized with patients with present multiple symptom complaints (including chronic fatigue syndrome), complain of food sensitivity and intolerance, and/or suffer from abnormal immune cell count and function (including autoimmune diseases). Learn more

Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen

Blood Brain Barrier Permeability Screen

Array 20 assists in the assessment of increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders, including but not limited to multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and stroke. Helps in the early investigation of contact sports-related traumatic brain injury (TBI), and evaluates the breach of the Blood-Brain barrier caused by stress, trauma or environmental triggers, even in the absence of apparent concussion or brain injury. Clinically utilized for patients with history of playing contact sports during which repeated head trauma occurs, engage in activity that involves force or shock to the head and/or body, have intestinal permeability with abnormal elevation in LPS and/or Occludin/Zonulin antibodies, exhibit changes in cognitive function. Learn more

Irritable Bowel/SIBO Screen

Array 22 provides a more accurate test for Irritable Bowels and SIBO by assessing IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies to bacterial cytotoxins and cytoskeletal proteins. With Array 22 one can identify a trigger of irritable bowels and the specific intestinal barrier damage they cause. It improves upon the standard breath test for SIBO by eliminating the need for exhaustive dietary restriction and collection protocols for patients, while providing better specificity and sensitivity through serum antibody testing. Clinically utilized for patients who have irritable bowels, exhibit symptoms of malabsorption, including weight loss, anemia or fatty stools, have associated conditions such as fatigue, reflux, skin disorders, obesity or food intolerances.

Cyrex Comprehensive Lymphocyte Immunophenotyping

The Lymphocyte Map™ is an innovative test which establishes a new standard in screening the immune system. It measures the integrity of the immune system at the cellular level to help identify a patient's immune status and immunotype(s), based on 35 determinations. Recommended for those with immune system dysfunction, immunodeficiency, hyper-inflammation, autoimmunity, allergies, hypersensitivities induced by environmental trigger(s). Learn more

Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

Mucosal Immune Reactivity Screen

The mucosal immune system is the body’s first line of defense against antigen invasion. The Mucosal Immune Reactivity panel evaluates mechanisms of compromised immune
tolerance and possible outcomes of compromised
mucosal tolerance, such as: intestinal barrier
dysfunction, food and chemical immune reactivity,
and autoimmunity. Learn more

Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

Measures predictive autoantibodies, some of which can appear up to 10 years before clinical symptoms. Efficiently and economically assesses possible tissue damage to multiple
organs of the body. Clinically considered with patients already diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, as they commonly develop additional autoimmune conditions, as well as patients with chronic increased intestinal permeability, which is the gateway for environmentally-induced
autoimmune disorders. Learn more

Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity and Autoimmunity

A comprehensive wheat/gluten reactivity test, which assists in the identification of wheat reactivity, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, Celiac disease, food opioid reactivity, intestinal barrier damage, and wheat-related autoimmunity. Clinically useful in identifying possible Celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, dermatitis herpetiformis, gluten ataxia or other wheat/gluten-related disorder and assessing autoimmune reactivity associated with wheat proteins and peptides. Learn more

Gluten-Associated Cross-Reactive Foods and Food Sensitivity

A comprehensive wheat/gluten reactivity test, which assists in the identification of wheat reactivity, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, Celiac disease, food opioid reactivity, intestinal barrier damage, and wheat-related autoimmunity. Clinically useful in identifying possible Celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, dermatitis herpetiformis, gluten ataxia or other wheat/gluten-related disorder and assessing autoimmune reactivity associated with wheat proteins and peptides. Learn more

Food Immune Reactivity Screen

This unique, revolutionary panel measures reactivity to 180 food antigens in the cooked, raw, modified or processed form on the same panel. Array 10 assists in early detection of dietary-related triggers of autoimmune reactivity and monitors the effectiveness of customized dietary protocols. Clinically utilized for patients seeking a life-long health and wellness strategy, present with unexplained symptoms (whether gastrointestinal, neurological, dermatological or behavioral in nature). and/or are suspected of having increased intestinal permeability, which is the gateway for environmentally-induced autoimmune disorders. Learn more

Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen

Array 11 identifies the loss of immune intolerance associated with toxic chemical exposure, which may lead to autoimmune reactivity. It assists in setting guidelines for the avoidance of specific chemicals to reduce the risk of igniting the autoimmune process, and monitoring the effectiveness of the clinical management of protocols. Clinically utilized for patients with increased chemical sensitivities/intolerance.
Have loss of immune tolerance and/or abnormal immune function. Learn More

Pathogen-Associated Immune Reactivity Screen

Array 12 - (PAIRS), assesses immune response to 29 viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic and stealth organism antigens that may be latent in the body. Understanding which dormant pathogens are triggers of cross-reactivity, immune reactivity, and potential autoimmune reactivity is crucial for better addressing patient needs. Clinically utilized for patients who present with chronic conditions such as gastrointestinal distress, fatigue, body aches or unexplained and general inflammation, including neuroinflammation, patients who may have been exposed to bacteria, viruses, parasites, molds and spirochetes associated with multiple autoimmunities, and/or patients who have not fully responded to clinical interventions, such as detoxification and dietary modifications.

Sample Collection for Testing

  • Depending on what your healthcare professional orders, Cyrex tests oral fluid (saliva) and serum (blood) specimens.

  • Yes. While Cyrex is unable to provide an exhaustive answer to this question due to the interactive complexities and varieties of medications and patient circumstances, the following has been noted:

    a. Immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs can reduce antibody production and cause false negative results.
    b. Limited assessments on the effects of aspirin, acetaminophen, and antipsychotics on Arrays 1-4 have been performed. No noticeable effects were observed.
    c. Inhalers can affect the results of Cyrex's oral fluid testing (Array 14). Wait two weeks after completion of inhalant dosages before collecting the specimen.
    d. Unknown cross-reactive epitopes from foods and microorganisms may stimulate the antibody production in the absence of a true antigen. Cyrex has already developed Array 4 in order to recognize the most common antigens in this regard.
    e. A gluten-free diet can cause false negative results.

    Patients should consult with their HCP regarding any questions or concerns they may have.

  • In order for Cyrex to provide the best results, on your oral fluid (saliva) and or serum (blood) specimen, shipments should be sent Monday through Thursday.

  • No. One (1) Specimen Collection Kit is enough to complete all tests Cyrex currently offers.

  • Detailed specimen collection instructions regarding fasting are included in each Specimen Collection Kit, which must be read before collecting any specimens. Oral fluid testing collection requires no eating one hour before and no drinking 30 minutes before collection. Blood testing has no fasting requirements or collection restrictions. However, eating a high fat meal prior to your blood draw can cause your serum specimen to be lipemic. Lipemic specimens are rejected by Cyrex Labs.

Oral Fluid

  • Detailed specimen collection instructions regarding fasting are included in each Specimen Collection Kit, which must be read before collecting any specimens. Oral fluid testing collection requires no eating one hour before and no drinking 30 minutes before collection. Blood testing has no fasting requirements or collection restrictions. However, eating a high fat meal prior to your blood draw can cause your serum specimen to be lipemic. Lipemic specimens are rejected by Cyrex Labs.

  • Contact your doctor to obtain a fresh collection tube. Do not rinse and reuse the collection tube.

  • The paper is soaked with a preservative (you may also see condensation droplets inside the tube) that keeps your specimen stable during shipment.

  • The liquid is a part of the preservative paper. It will not harm the patient if accidentally swallowed.

  • Cyrex ships collection kits directly to its professional clients. Please coordinate with your ordering professional to receive a collection kit.

Blood

  • Detailed specimen collection instructions regarding fasting are included in each Specimen Collection Kit, which must be read before collecting any specimens. Blood testing has no fasting requirements or collection restrictions. However, eating a high fat meal prior to your blood draw can cause your serum specimen to be lipemic. Lipemic specimens are rejected by Cyrex Labs.

  • No. Patients may choose to use any location or service to perform the blood collection. In this case, the patient will be fully responsible for any draw fee and or processing fee that location or service charges.

  • If you schedule an appointment date and generate a Blood Draw Authorization form as required to utilize a Cyrex contracted Draw Center, there is no additional fee. If the patient is a pediatric draw (15 yrs. & younger) or you elect to use a non-contracted Cyrex Draw Center, you are fully responsible for any draw fee and or processing fee that Draw Center or service charges.

  • Yes, when scheduling into a Cyrex contracted Draw Center, patients are required to select a date, and then choose a center by selecting the red button “Schedule” next to the location. This will generate a Blood Draw Authorization which serves as proof services have been pre-paid. Walking into the scheduled draw center without this form, can prevent you from being serviced.

  • Go to www.CyrexLabs.com, click “Payment & Scheduling” then enter your Requisition ID Number and Confirmation Code, which are printed beneath the barcode on your Test Requisition Form.

  • A Cyrex Specimen Collection Kit, Test Requisition Form, Blood Draw Authorization and your government issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport) are required to present when using a contracted Cyrex Draw Center. Non- contracted services will need all of the above, except the Blood Draw Authorization.

  • Cyrex contracted Draw Centers, do not keep Specimen Collection Kits in stock and do not have access to your Cyrex Test Requisition Form. You must bring all materials to the Draw Center before services can be completed. Contact your ordering healthcare professional if you do not have any of these materials. Contact Cyrex if you need to reschedule your draw appointment.

  • Cyrex contracted Draw Centers do not perform blood collections on pediatric patients. All patients must have passed their 16th birthday in order to utilize Cyrex’s contracted Draw Centers. Suggested pediatric draw locations include: hospital, medical clinics, and small local laboratories that perform out-patient services.
