BIOFIRE^® FILMARRAY^®

The Fastest Way to Better Results

The FILMARRAY is an FDA-cleared multiplex PCR system that integrates sample preparation, amplification, detection and analysis. It requires just a few minutes of hands-on-time and its turnaround time is just about an hour, giving you faster results which may lead to better patient care.

The FILMARRAY now has four FDA-cleared panels – the Respiratory Panel, the Blood Culture Identification Panel, the Gastrointestinal Panel, and the Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel. Together, these panels test for more than a hundred pathogens. Thus, FILMARRAY is not only the fastest way to better results; it’s the fastest way to more results.

Many Applications

Diagnosing infectious diseases can be challenging. There are often countless possibilities and finding out what is making a patient sick often requires rapid answers so appropriate treatment decisions can be made. The FILMARRAY is an easy-to-use multiplex PCR system that can be used in complex diagnostic situations that require multiple answers in a critically short period of time:

• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Identification of organisms in positive blood cultures
• Gastrointestinal infections
• Meningitis/Encephalitis

The technology behind the FILMARRAY allows for the simultaneous detection of:

• Viruses
• Bacteria
• Yeast
• Parasites
• Antimicrobial resistance genes

Whether trying to select appropriate therapy for a septic patient, or determining exactly which respiratory pathogen is making a young child sick, FILMARRAY can return answers fast.
