Book FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel Near Me

What is FilmArray GI Panel?

The FilmArray GI Panel is a qualitative multiplexed diagnostics test that simultaneously detects and identifies nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, viruses, and parasites directly from stool samples obtained from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.

This rapid multiplex panel detection of the most common agents of bacterial, viral and parasitic enteric infections directly from stool specimens is sensitive, specific, and provides same-day results, obviating the need for culture, antigen testing, microscopy, or individual nucleic acid amplification tests.

Why FilmArray GI Panel?

    1. Comprehensive, accurate, and fast results
    2. Detection of 13 bacteria, 4 parasites, and 5 viruses from a single specimen
    3. Identification of polymicrobial infections which may be missed if using standard testing methods<

Collection procedure:
