The molecular BIOFIRE GI Panel tests for 22 of the most common pathogens associated with gastroenteritis—all from one patient sample and one easy to use reagent, with results available in about one hour.
Clinical Benefits
Because traditional stool testing methods are slow and lack sensitivity, clinicians often must make patient management decisions without a laboratory result. Syndromic testing from the BIOFIRE GI Panel offers fast sample-to-answer turnaround and accurate results, which can:
Workflow Benefits
The BIOFIRE GI Panel can streamline workflow by providing faster and more comprehensive test results. Compared to traditional diagnostic methods, stool panel testing with the BIOFIRE GI Panel may:
Reduce the number of laboratory tests on average from 3 to 13
Potentially reduce the number of send-out tests
Reduce the average time to result by 84%3

* Required Fields
Several viral and parasitic pathogens can cause similar, overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. Furthermore, traditional testing methods are slow, labor intensive, and may fail to reveal the etiology of a patient’s gastrointestinal symptoms.
The BIOFIRE GI Panel is a multiplex GI panel that provides fast, accurate, and comprehensive results. PCR testing with a comprehensive panel can give clinicians the information they need to make timely, targeted treatment decisions.

The BIOFIRE GI Panel uses a syndromic approach to accurately detect and identify the pathogens most commonly associated with gastrointestinal infections. Fast and comprehensive, the BIOFIRE GI Panel offers a run time of about an hour, enabling high efficiency and throughput on the BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® 2.0 and BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® TORCH systems.
"Syndromic testing has changed the way I practice medicine."
Dr. Jaime Fergie, MD, FAAP, Director of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Driscoll Children's Hospital, Texas, USA
The BIOFIRE GI Panel takes the syndromic approach by testing for a broad grouping of probable gastrointestinal targets in one quick test. Syndromic PCR gastrointestinal testing maximizes the chance of getting actionable answers in a clinically relevant timeframe.
