BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® TORCH
Easier testing. Faster results.
Running a lab is difficult. BIOFIRE syndromic infectious disease diagnostics can help. For lab professionals
seeking to streamline their laboratory’s workflow, the BIOFIRE TORCH offers user-friendly automated nested
multiplex PCR. The BIOFIRE TORCH uses interchangable modules that can be used with six BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY®
Panels—which are so easy to use, testing can be done by any tech* on any shift, at an institution of any size.
More answers. Less space.
The BIOFIRE TORCH is designed from the ground up to empower your lab and can easily scale along with your
lab’s testing needs. You can build your own molecular testing solution two modules at a time, adding up to 12
modules per BIOFIRE TORCH base. With over 170 targets across six FDA-cleared panels, the BIOFIRE TORCH
can increase your lab’s ability to provide diagnostic answers while reducing the need for send out tests.
