Product Overview

1 Test.  39 Targets. ~1 Hour.

The BIOFIRE JI Panel tests for a comprehensive grouping of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and antimicrobial resistance genes commonly associated with joint infections.

It takes just one syndromic test, one small sample of synovial fluid, and about an hour to get results on 39 clinically relevant targets.

Eliminate the Guesswork

Conventional testing for joint infections is complex, often requiring multiple patient samples, various send-out tests, and days of waiting for results. The BIOFIRE JI Panel is a rapid syndromic test that delivers comprehensive results in one easy-to-read report.

Using PCR technology, the BIOFIRE JI Panel offers a rapid sample-to-answer turnaround without sacrificing performance.

Detect More Targets in Less Time

The BIOFIRE JI Panel identifies pathogens and antimicrobial resistance markers at the molecular level, encompassing the common causes of joint infections. It is not impacted by prior antibiotic use and targets difficult-to-grow anaerobes.

Compared to conventional methods, it can help facilitate increased diagnostic yield and improved polymicrobial detection.
