A comprehensive diagnostic solution that's designed to solve the challenges you face every day.

CHALLENGE
Variability in Symptoms

Infectious diseases can exhibit a diverse array of symptoms, which could make it challenging to pinpoint the specific cause.

SOLUTION
Syndromic Testing

Syndromic testing is a diagnostic approach that targets multiple pathogens associated with a specific syndrome or group of symptoms.

CHALLENGE
Diagnostic Accuracy

The accuracy of diagnostic tools may vary, which could lead to delayed diagnoses and treatment.

SOLUTION
PCR Technology

PCR testing technology delivers high sensitivity, specificity, and reliable results clinicians can trust.

CHALLENGE
Prolonged Time to Result

Delays in obtaining test results may impede timely diagnosis, treatment initiation, and overall patient care.

SOLUTION
Rapid Answers

The BIOFIRE TORCH System provides results in about an hour, which may lead to a shorter lengths of stay and improved patient outcomes.

CHALLENGE
Antibiotic Resistance

Difficulty in accurately identifying pathogens and determining antibiotic susceptibility for effective antimicrobial stewardship.

SOLUTION
Comprehensive Pathogen Identification

Rapid identification of pathogens supports stewardship by minimizing inappropriate antibiotic use and enabling targeted antimicrobial therapy.
