# Not All Tests Are Created Equal

Galaxy Diagnostics was founded to solve one of medicine’s toughest challenges: Detecting stealth pathogens that evade traditional diagnostics.

What began with **_Bartonella_** has grown into a broader mission, bringing clarity to complex cases and expanding detection across more elusive pathogens.

## We’re Scientists First—And Still Leading the Way

Our roots are in _Bartonella_ research, where we helped pioneer direct detection methods for low abundance pathogens. Today, we bring that same scientific rigor the detection of _Babesia_ and other complex, elusive pathogens.

- 450+ peer-reviewed publications
- Groundbreaking work in stealth pathogen detection
- Trusted by clinicians treating chronic, complex conditions

## From Results to Real Decisions

We don’t just generate results. We empower providers to:

- Diagnose with precision
- Treat with confidence
- Deliver care backed by science

Diagnostics built for real-world clinical action.

“A lot of patients come into our office who have been treated for Tickborne Illness but still have debilitating symptoms. It is often difficult to determine if persistent Lyme, other co-infections, or immune dysregulation are causing their issues. I use Nanotrap to discern the root cause so patients can get the targeted treatments they need.”

—Dr Chris Turnpaugh, Turnpaugh Health and Wellness

### Diagnostics Designed for the Complexity of Stealth Infections

Galaxy’s platform integrates both direct and indirect detection methods, giving providers the flexibility to diagnose with accuracy at any stage of infection.

#### Digital PCR

Offers up to **10x the sensitivity** of standard PCR, detecting _Borrelia_, _Babesia,_ and _Bartonella_ at the genus level to deliver earlier insights in complex cases. 1

#### Urine Testing

Detects Lyme _Borrelia_ in the early stages, **without relying on an antibody** response and helps determine ongoing infection in chronically ill patients.

#### Bartonella IFA Panel

Covers **four clinically relevant** species: _B. henselae, B. vinsonii berkhoffii, B. quintana,_ and _B. koehlerae._
