That’s a wrap on the IAFC Hazmat Conference in Baltimore!

It was an incredible week connecting with the hazardous materials response community. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by Booth 217 to meet our team. We enjoyed reconnecting with our long-term partners and establishing new relationships with teams dedicated to modernizing their biodefense capabilities.

If we didn't get a chance to connect or if you have follow-up questions about how our systems can fit into your team's workflow, our door is always open. Let’s keep building a stronger shield together: https://biofiredefense.com/contact-us/

We will be at SAFMLS 2026 in St. Louis next week!

Stop by to meet with our team and see how we are supporting the mission with our Clinical IVD panels at Booth 42. We’ll be showcasing the BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® and FILMARRAY® TORCH systems.

Whether you are a current partner or looking to learn more about our latest panels, we look forward to seeing you there.

In a high-consequence environment, human error is a risk you can’t afford. Our panels and systems are engineered to operate with about two minutes of hands-on time.

By utilizing a closed-loop system, the BIOFIRE® platform automates the entire molecular process within a single pouch. This technical safeguard ensures that even in high-pressure defense and public health scenarios, the integrity of your data remains uncompromised.

We’ve taken gold-standard nested PCR chemistry and stripped away the manual complexity. This allows your team to focus on the response and the mission, rather than the protocol.

Behind every ready force is a high-proficiency laboratory. To ensure the mission never slows down due to diagnostic uncertainty, BioFire Defense provides comprehensive technical support and CME-accredited materials designed specifically for the Military Health System environment.

We don't just provide the BIOFIRE® product line; we provide the operational support to maximize its impact. Through our technical summaries and specialized training, we ensure that every laboratorian has the molecular intelligence required to shield the force.
BioFire Defense is the sole supplier of the BIOFIRE portfolio of multiplex PCR diagnostic tests to The Department of Defense.

Today, we join the nation in celebrating the 251st birthday of the United States Army. Since June 14, 1775, Soldiers have answered the call to protect our communities, defend our freedoms, and maintain global stability.

At BioFire Defense, we believe that defending those who protect us is our highest responsibility. Operational readiness starts with health security. Whether deployed at the austere tactical edge or stationed at fixed Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) worldwide, Army medical personnel require zero-fail diagnostic tools to keep the force healthy, safe, and ready.

We are proud to partner with the Army and the Defense Health Agency to be the sole supplier of bioMérieux’s BIOFIRE® product line for the Department of Defense.

To all Soldiers, veterans, and military families: thank you for your unwavering service and sacrifice

Every additional testing platform in your inventory has a hidden cost. Each system has a different set of training protocols, a separate supply chain for reagents, and another maintenance schedule to track. In a high-stakes environment, it all adds up to slow down the mission.

As the sole source provider of bioMérieux’s BIOFIRE product line for the Defense Health Agency, we help you cut through that noise. By using one standardized system for multiple comprehensive syndromic tests, you consolidate your training and streamline your workflow.
The result? An agile team that spends less time managing testing solutions and more time protecting the force.

Operational readiness doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither does the biothreat environment. In high-stakes settings, you need a detection platform that you can rely on.

At BioFire Defense, we don't just provide biothreat detection tools; we provide integrated operational capabilities. From ruggedized hardware designed for the tactical edge to room-temperature stable reagents that eliminate the cold chain, every component is purpose-built to simplify your logistics and maximize awareness in the field.

We ensure that when the stakes are highest, your systems are a force multiplier, not a logistical burden.

Keeping you updated on critical diagnostic developments: As the response to the rare Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak expands, clinical diagnostics are taking center stage.

In a recent feature from Infection Control Today article, Matt Scullion of BioFire Defense explains why the rare Bundibugyo strain presents unique challenges, how modern diagnostic networks have improved since the 2014 Ebola crisis, and why identifying cases quickly may be the most effective intervention when vaccines and treatments are unavailable.

When managing high-consequence pathogens where licensed therapeutics or vaccines are limited, waiting for a delayed, single-target laboratory result is an operational risk. Frontline teams need highly sensitive, multiplexed molecular diagnostics at the point of care.

The BioFire®️ Global Fever Special Pathogens Panel addresses this diagnostic gap directly. Running on our standardized FilmArray footprint, it delivers rapid, syndromic multiplex PCR results in under an hour to help clinical teams identify, isolate, and manage high-consequence threats with confidence.

We’re heading to Baltimore for IAFC Hazmat 2026 to showcase the latest in field-forward biothreat detection. Visit us at Booth #217 to see how the RAZOR® Mk II and BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® systems provide fast molecular intelligence for the most challenging environmental samples.

Whether you are a long-time partner or looking to enhance your team's capabilities, we look forward to discussing how we can support your mission.

What an incredible week at the Military Health Systems (MHS) Conference!

Thank you to all the clinicians and partners who stopped by our booth to discuss the future of diagnostic readiness.

We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting your mission with gold-standard syndromic technology.
