R.A.P.I.D.® Real Time PCR Bio Detection (BWA) System

The Ruggedized Advanced Pathogen Identification Device (R.A.P.I.D.) is a portable real-time PCR system designed to identify biological agents. Because of its rugged design, reliability, and accuracy it has become the standard for the U.S. DoD and other militaries around the world. The R.A.P.I.D. is the ideal choice for mobile analytical labs and fields hospital.

This instrument integrates BioFire Diagnostics’ LightCycler® Instrument technology into a portable, impact resistant package. Distinctive software allows simple “push-button” use of the R.A.P.I.D. System by field personnel with minimal training. This allows for field identification of pathogens quickly, safely, and accurately.
