What is a BIOFIRE RESPIRATORY PATHOGEN PANEL?

The BioFire Respiratory Pathogen Panel is an advanced molecular diagnostic test designed to rapidly detect multiple respiratory viruses and bacteria from a single respiratory sample. Using multiplex PCR technology, the test helps identify infectious causes of respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and breathing difficulty. Its purpose is to support accurate diagnosis, guide timely treatment decisions, improve infection control, and assist healthcare providers in effective patient management.
