BioFire – Film Array Torch

The FilmArray Torch interacts with the reagent pouch to both purify nucleic acids and amplify targeted nucleic acid sequences using nested multiplex PCR (nmPCR) in a closed system. The resulting PCR products are evaluated using DNA melting analysis.

The BioFire Panels test for viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast, and antimicrobial resistance genes. Whether you’re trying to select appropriate therapy for a septic patient or determine exactly which respiratory pathogen is making a young child sick, the BioFire® FilmArray® Systems can return answers fast.
