Zeus Scientific MTTT algorithm for Lyme disease detection

May 17, 2023—Zeus Scientific has introduced the Zeus Borrelia Modified Two-Tiered Testing (MTTT) algorithm, an FDA-cleared all-ELISA algorithm designed to improve the detection of early Lyme disease by up to 30 percent compared with the standard two-tiered testing algorithm. It replaces a second-tier immunoblot with a second Zeus ELISA methodology to provide additional supportive evidence of infection. The company offers two algorithms: the Zeus Borrelia MTTT-1 uses the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test system as a first-tier test followed by the Zeus B. burgdorferi IgG/IgM test system; Zeus Borrelia MTTT-2 uses the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test system as a first-tier test followed by the Zeus B. burgdorferi IgG test system and ZEUS B. burgdorferi IgM test system.
