Setting up the FilmArray is Easy
Fully Automated Operation
 The FilmArray reagents pouch contains all the required reagents for sample preparation, reverse transcription-PCR, PCR, and detection in a freeze-dried, room temperature stable format. Prior to a run, the operator injects hydration solution and the unknown sample into the pouch. The FilmArray instrument does the rest. First, the FilmArray extracts and purifies all nucleic acids from the unknown sample. Next, the FilmArray performs a nested multiplex PCR. During the first-stage PCR, the FilmArray performs a single, large volume, massively multiplexed reaction. Last, individual singleplex second-stage PCR reactions detect the products from the first stage PCR. Using endpoint melting curve data, the FilmArray software automatically generates a result for each target.
