The FilmArray Instrument is an automated in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device designed to work with specific reagent pouches to detect multiple nucleic acid targets contained in clinical specimens. The instrument interacts with the reagent pouch to both purify nucleic acids and amplify targeted nucleic acid sequences using nested multiplex PCR in a closed system. The resulting PCR products are evaluated using DNA melting analysis. The FilmArray Software automatically interprets the results and provides an easy-to-understand test report.
