How Multiplex Testing Is Revolutionizing Tickborne Disease Detection: An Interview With Jason Barker, ND

The growing threat of tick-borne diseases is placing immense pressure on patients, providers, and public health systems nationwide. With traditional diagnostic methods often falling short, particularly in detecting early-stage or coinfections, timely and accurate testing is more important than ever.

In this exclusive interview with Infection Control Today® (ICT®), Jason Barker, ND, clinical lab educator at Vibrant Wellness, discusses the diagnostic challenges that surround Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, the limitations of current testing protocols, and how next-generation multiplex testing platforms are advancing the way we identify, monitor, and manage these complex infections.

Eliminating Guesswork for Food Sensitivity

Food sensitivities are extremely common, affecting roughly 1 out of every 5 people. Despite this prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of food sensitivity is a significant challenge.

The current standard of care employs a broad elimination diet that then systemically re-introduces foods in a guess-and-check manner. This can be a lengthy and frustrating process for patients, and the success of this approach has not been sufficiently validated. 

In this HCPLive article, Vibrant Clinical Liason Dr. Lillie Luu Duhn, DCN, CNS, LDN reviews the preliminary report of our clinical trial, which employed a novel silicon-based peptide microarray to detect and treat food sensitivities with improved precision.

Peer-Reviewed Study Validates Microarray Platform for Tickborne and Vector-Borne Infections

Our customizable microarray for antibody detection was validated in Nature Scientific Reports as a highly sensitive, scalable platform for tickborne and related pathogen testing. It detects over 17 bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens—including Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, and Powassan virus—from a single low-volume blood sample. With 99–100% specificity and up to 100% sensitivity, it outperforms traditional Lyme testing and supports global diagnostic needs through faster, broader, and more precise results.

New Microarray Platform Aims to Improve Tickborne Disease Detection

A newly developed multiplex protein microarray platform promises to improve the detection of tickborne diseases by allowing the detection of multiple pathogens in a single test. Published in Scientific Reports in January 2025, the study highlights the effectiveness of this tool in enhancing both sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing tick-borne and other infectious diseases.

In this ContagionLive interview with Dr. Jason Barker, ND, clinical lab educator at Vibrant Wellness, he discussed the limitations of current diagnostic methods and how Vibrant’s technology offers improvements.
