Evaluation of the FilmArray ^® system for detection of <i>Bacillus anthracis, Francisella tularensis</i> and <i>Yersinia pestis</i>

Abstract

The FilmArray(®) platform is a complete sample-to-answer system, combining sample preparation, PCR and data analysis. This system is particularly suited for biothreat testing where samples need to be analysed for multiple biothreats by operators with limited training.
