FilmArray Blood Culture Identification Panel

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FilmArray Blood Culture Identification Panel (BCID) is a diagnostic tool designed to identify pathogens from positive blood cultures in approximately one hour. It tests for 24 pathogens and 3 antibiotic resistance genes associated with bloodstream infections, requiring only 2 minutes of hands-on time.
Key Features:
  • Simple: Requires only 2 minutes of hands-on time.
  • Easy: No precise measuring or pipetting is needed.
  • Fast: Provides results in about 1 hour.
  • Comprehensive: Covers 27 targets in the BCID panel.
Pathogens and Resistance Genes:
  • Gram-Positive Bacteria: Includes Enterococcus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus, and various Streptococcus species.
  • Yeast: Includes Candida species such as C. albicans and C. glabrata.
  • Gram-Negative Bacteria: Includes Acinetobacter baumannii, Haemophilus influenzae, and Enterobacteriaceae family members.
  • Antibiotic Resistance Genes: mecA (methicillin resistance), vanA/B (vancomycin resistance), KPC (carbapenem resistance).
Procedure: The FilmArray system uses a reagent pouch containing all necessary reagents for sample preparation, PCR, and detection. The user injects a hydration solution and the blood culture sample into the pouch. The system then extracts nucleic acids, performs a nested multiplex PCR, and generates results using endpoint melting curve data.
Specifications:
  • Sample Type: Positive Blood Culture
  • Sample Volume: 200 µL
  • Hands-on Time: 2 minutes
  • Run Turnaround Time: About 1 hour
Licensing: The purchase of the FilmArray System includes a limited, non-transferable license under specific U.S. patents for use according to specified protocols.

FilmArray Blood Culture Identification Panel-2

How Does the FilmArray Work? The FilmArray reagent pouch stores all the necessary reagents for sample preparation, PCR and detection in a freeze-dried format. Prior to a run, the user injects Hydration Solution and positive blood culture sample combined with Sample Buffer into the pouch. The FilmArray instrument does the rest. First, the FilmArray extracts and purifies all nucleic acids from the sample. Next, the FilmArray performs a nested multiplex PCR. During the first-stage PCR, the FilmArray performs a single, large volume, massively multiplexed reaction. Last, individual single-plex second-stage...
