I had the flow cytometry test by central florida research (antigen test). Mine was positive. They also ran a western blot which was negative. I have also tested positive by Igenex western blot.
I know of several other people that were negative by this antigen test, so it's not like they give out all positives. If you are negative, it doesn't rule out lyme, though. It just means that there was no bacteria present in the blood sample.
I think that it is a good test.
