Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel

The BIOFIRE GI Panel tests stool specimens for a comprehensive set of 22 gastrointestinal pathogens, including common targets associated with gastroenteritis.

Boost My GI Testing

The 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 an hour.

BIOFIRE GI PANEL

Harness the power of flexible, syndromic GI testing.

1 PCR Test | 22 Targets | ⁓1 Hour

With overlapping symptoms, distinguishing possible causes of gastroenteritis can be challenging for any clinician. To further complicate diagnosis, traditional testing methods are slow, labor intensive, and fail to reveal the etiology of a patient's gastrointestinal symptoms.1

Fortunately, syndromic testing from the BioFire GI Panel eliminates limitations from conventional methods by providing, faster, more accurate, and comprehensive results.
