Biothreats present unique challenges in the field, far different from what most laboratories are built to manage. In this presentation, Ryan Gregerson, Associate Director of Product Management for BioFire Defense explores why biological threats are so complex to detect, what makes real-time identification difficult, and how field-based technology can help responders make informed decisions when time is critical. Gregerson breaks down the advantages and limitations of testing outside the lab, highlight how field assessments differ from traditional laboratory workflows, and discuss what true operational readiness looks like. Finally, he introduces BioFire’s portfolio of rapid, accurate biothreat identification solutions designed to support decision-making in dynamic environments, helping teams respond with confidence when every moment matters.

The FilmArray is able to identify, in a closed system, dozens of the most lethal viruses and bacteria, including emerging infectious diseases. The easy-to-use, syringe-loaded system represents the next generation in automated detection systems
The RAZOR EX system detects and identifies biological agents using cutting edge technology. Made for field use, the RAZOR EX is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. It is a field PCR unit that is fast, with ultra-reliable DNA based results. Created for first responders and front line military troops, it is easily operated while working in protective equipment under extreme conditions.
This demo shows the Unified Fire Authority, Hazmat 6 of Salt Lake City, Utah using the RAZOR EX to test for a suspicious white powder.
Use of a commercially available polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system for screening a powder sample is demonstrated. Note: This is only a demonstration and required personal protective equipment (PPE) is not being worn. Actual required PPE will depend on the specific situation.
