The cost of each reagent pouch was approximately 6-fold higher than the cost per sample of the reagents needed to perform the laboratory-developed multiplexed real-time RT-PCR assays for detection of 12 respiratory viruses. The sensitivity of the FilmArray Respiratory Panel assay was comparable to our LDA for detection of 12 respiratory viruses in clinical samples and in dilutions of positive control mixes. In the analysis of 34 positive mixed clinical specimens, the FilmArray had results similar to those in another study comparing FilmArray with real-time PCR assays, identifying 90% of the 80 viruses detected by our LDA (Pierce et al., 2012) . In other situations, use of multiplexed Table 4 Results of laboratory-developed real-time RT-PCR assays and FilmArray Respiratory Panel assay for dilutions of the influenza positive mix control. ./cache/cord-293849-p3j2keyo.txt ./txt/cord-293849-p3j2keyo.txt
