BIOFIRE® Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) Panel
1 Test. 43 Targets. ~ 1 Hour.
This multiplex PCR test detects pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes commonly associated with bloodstream infections (BSI). Help inform sepsis treatment with comprehensive results in about an hour from a positive blood culture.
A New Kind of Blood Culture Identification
The BIOFIRE® Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) Panel tests a single positive blood culture sample to simultaneously provide results for multiple organisms and organism groups that cause bloodstream infections, as well as genetic markers associated with antimicrobial resistance. Within about an hour from the positive blood culture, the test delivers these comprehensive results in a single report.
The Power Behind the Panel
The BIOFIRE BCID2 Panel can provide the essential combination of speed, accuracy, and comprehensiveness to enable the fast identification of probable pathogen directly from positive blood cultures.
Sepsis Management Elevated
Early identification and treatment of sepsis is essential to combat this leading cause of hospital deaths. The BIOFIRE BCID2 Panel can potentially help give back the time and resources you need to effectively manage and fight against sepsis.
Inside the BIOFIRE BCID2 Panel
Discover the 43 targets on the BIOFIRE BCID2 Panel, including the 26 bacteria, 7 yeast, and 10 antimicrobial resistance genes commonly associated with BSIs.
Performance
Overall 99.0% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity2
Sample Type: Positive blood culture
Syndromic Testing Made Simple
The BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® Systems run syndromic infectious disease tests. One multiplex assay simultaneously tests for the most common pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes associated with a particular syndrome.
The BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® TORCH System
The BIOFIRE TORCH System uses multiplex PCR technology to simultaneously test for a comprehensive grouping of targets in about an hour.
- Compatible with six-panel syndromic portfolio
