● Inter-assay precision: >85% reproducibility
● Analytical sensitivity: Capable of detecting antibody levels as
low as 0.5 U/mL for most antigens [18]
However, it's important to note that like all antibody-based tests,
Array 12 measures immune response to pathogens rather than
directly detecting the pathogens themselves. A positive result
indicates current or past immune reactivity, not necessarily active
infection [19].
Cost and Insurance Coverage
As of 2025, the Cyrex Array 12 test typically costs between
$500-$800, depending on the provider and any associated
consultation fees [20]. This cost generally includes:
● The test kit and collection supplies
● Laboratory analysis
● Basic results interpretation
Most conventional insurance plans do not cover the Cyrex Array
12 as it is considered investigational by many insurance
companies. However, some options to manage costs include:
● Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings
Accounts (HSA) can often be used to cover the cost
● Some functional medicine practitioners include the test as
part of comprehensive care packages
● Certain specialty lab brokers may offer reduced pricing
through negotiated rates [21]
Patients should verify coverage with their specific insurance
provider and discuss payment options with their healthcare
provider before ordering the test.
