1 PATHOGEN DETECTION WITH THE FILMARRAY
2 The System Sample-to-Answer in an Hour Single sample Multiple samples The FilmArray integrates sample preparation, amplification, detection, and analysis all into one complete process that delivers results in about an hour. 2
3 The FilmArray System FDA cleared system moderate complexity Designed for hospital labs Minimal user training 2 minutes hand-on set up time per test Rapidly growing platform with U.S. clinical install base >1700 3
4 How the FilmArray Works The FilmArray pouch stores all the necessary reagents for sample preparation, reverse transcription-pcr, PCR, and detection in a freeze-dried format. Just inject hydration solution and an unprocessed sample. The FilmArray takes care of the rest. Sample Extraction & Preparation 1 st Stage Multiplex PCR 2 nd Stage PCR Reagent Storage Chemical Circuit Board 4
5 How the FilmArray Works FilmArray performs nested multiplex PCR. During the first stage, the system performs a single, large volume, multiplexed reaction. Next, individual, singleplex second-stage PCR reactions detect the products from the first-stage PCR. 1 st Stage Multiplex PCR Dilute 100x 2 nd Stage Singleplex PCR The system provides all the advantages of nested-pcr without the risk of contamination 5
6 How the FilmArray Works Using endpoint melting curve data, the FilmArray software automatically generates a result for each target. Automated Results Analysis 102 individual 2 nd stage PCR wells Each well contains one reaction Melt curves generated for each well Triplicates increase confidence in result 6
