Products
Sample-preparation and concentration medium for microscopy
A liquid medium and associated protocol for collection and preparation of venous blood samples that preserves motile spirochetes, suppresses artefact formation, immobilizes non-target blood components, and concentrates target organisms for microscopy and downstream molecular testing.
Automated slide-scanning and image-analysis system
An integrated slide-scanning microscope and image-analysis software intended to automatically scan prepared slides, preselect candidate fields containing morphologies consistent with target organisms, and provide outputs for human validation.
DualDur cell technology medium
A cell technology medium developed for the preparation of blood samples for dark-field microscopic testing of Borrelia burgdorferi and other spirochetes. It prevents artefacts, protects vulnerable spirochetes, and preserves their characteristic motility to aid in direct detection.
DualDur investigation
Diagnostic investigation utilizing 4 ml of patient blood taken into DualDur medium, where spirochetes are concentrated and examined via dark-field microscopy in their natural life.
DD-LYME 4.0
An automated diagnostic system working with DualDur technology for Lyme borreliosis testing.
Training & support
Theoretical and practical training delivered for Lyme specialists along with continuous support to use the diagnostic system.

Services
Laboratory screening of venous blood samples using a standardized sample-preparation medium and dark-field microscopy to detect motile spirochetes, with human review and integration with confirmatory testing.
Confirmatory PCR on concentrated samples and serological assays (immunofluorescence, Western blot, ELISA) to validate microscopy findings and provide immunological or subtype information.
Deployment of automated slide-scanning systems coupled with image-analysis software to pre-screen prepared slides, reduce manual review time, and enable higher-throughput microscopy workflows.
Design and coordination of multi-center diagnostic performance studies to assess sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of direct-detection workflows; engagement with independent laboratories and clinical sites for validation.
Theoretical and practical training for clinicians and laboratory staff on standardized sample collection, sample preparation, microscopy interpretation, and automated analysis workflows, plus ongoing technical support.

News & Updates
Serology in Lyme borreliosis is helpful in certain situations. Dr. Béla Pál Bózsik, inventor of the DualDur methodology, emphasizes that serology is an indirect diagnostic method and has limitations, especially in early and late stages of infection.
