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 FilmArray uses a plastic pouch with automated capabilities, including sample preparation, reverse transcription for RNA viruses, and a two-stage nested multiplex PCR process. The results are a revolutionary detection system in a lightweight, small-footprint format.
Multi-Use: Used for BioThreat Detection and Pandemic BioSurveillance. | Easy-to-Use: Automated protocol requires limited hands-on time and training. |
Fully Automated: Sample prep, amplification, identification, and reporting. | Network: Interoperable with global information grid. |
Single Instrument Integration: Reduce the amount of equipment and consumables. | Quick Test Times: Results in 1 hour. |
Freeze-dried Reagents: Room temperature stable. | More BioThreat Targets: Test 16 pathogens in one run. |
More Sample Types: Integrated sample prep removes PCR inhibitors and allows BioThreat detection in challenging environmental sample types such as soil and clay. |
