Comprehensive panels for key healthcare challenges

The FILMARRAY™system  is an FDA, CE-IVD, and TGA certified multiplex PCR system that integrates sample preparation, amplification, detection and analysis. This simple system requires just 2 minutes of hands-on time, with a total run time of about an hour – you get fast results to assist in better patient care.

The FILMARRAY™ system enables simultaneous testing for bacteria, viruses, yeast, parasites and/or antimicrobial resistant genes. It is designed to be used with comprehensive panels that each offer testing for sets of pathogens associated with some of today’s most pressing healthcare challenges.

Fast, accurate molecular diagnostics testing for syndromic diagnosis

FILMARRAY™ performs the extraction, amplification and detection in a closed system, minimizing contamination. It I is a syndromic testing system for a variety of pathogens associated with key healthcare concerns. The rapid results offer the information needed to help primary care providers and emergency room physicians to better triage patients and make timely, confident medical decisions

  • Simple: 2 minutes of hands-on time
  • Easy: No precise measuring or pipetting required
  • Fast: Turnaround time of about an hour

Comprehensive: Tests for a variety of pathogens that cause respiratorybloodstream, and gastrointestinal infections, as well antimicrobial resistance genes. 
 

Easy, intuitive operation

The FILMARRAY™ multiplex PCR system makes it easy to provide fast, comprehensive and accurate diagnostic results.

  1. Insert the FILMARRAY™pouch into the loading station, and inject the hydration solution along with a sample
  2. The vacuum in the pouch ensures that the correct volume of hydration solution and sample is drawn into the pouch, so you don’t have to worry about pipetting
  3. Insert the pouch into the FILMARRAY™ system and start your run
  4. Run time is approximately 1 hour
  5. Obtain results in easy-to-read reports

The FILMARRAY™ Pouch stores all the necessary reagents for cell lysis, DNA/RNA extraction and purification, amplification, and detection in one closed pouch.

  • FILMARRAY™extracts and purifies all nucleic acids from the unprocessed sample and performs a nested multiplex PCR
  • During PCR I, the system performs a single, large volume, multiplexed reaction
  • Individual, singleplex PCR II reactions detect the products from the first-stage PCR.

The FILMARRAY™ software

The FILMARRAY™software walks you through the entire process, from sample to result. When the run is complete, the software analyzes and reports results in a simple, easy-to-read format.
