Bio-Fires – An Eco-Friendly Alternative to Real Fires Biofires are a warm and comfortable form of warmth with no harmful gasses or soot. They are easy to set up and operate, just like an electric fire. The contract funded by BARDA supports the development of the BioFire Emerging CoV Panel, a nucleic acids amplification test for use with BioFire FilmArray Systems to detect known and emerging human coronaviruses in nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal sw and saliva samples. Eco-friendly A bioethanol fire is an excellent alternative to wood or gas fires. The fuel is made from plant by-products and uses a natural process to convert sugars into alcohol. It is a better option over other fireplaces as it does not emit harmful emissions and has less carbon footprint. Bioethanol is a safer alternative to other fires as it doesn't produce smoke or soot. It also does not require a flue, so it can be used anywhere in your home or in your garden. Multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR) are among the health threats that are most dangerous today. New methods of testing can identify MDR bacteria early and prevent any further complications. One test that can help is the BioFire FilmArray multiplex PCR system. This test utilizes the symptom driven approach to identify pathogens that may cause sepsis. The results are accessible within a matter of hours, so doctors can start treatment right away. The process of Molecular PCR that amplifies DNA or RNA molecules into millions to billions of copies. This allows the analysis of small quantities of body fluids or tissue to determine if certain genetic sequences are present. It is an invaluable instrument for lab professionals, and it can help them diagnose serious illnesses in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The BioFire FilmArray PCR system is an innovative tool for the diagnosis of infectious diseases and can be utilized for a wide variety of applications in laboratories and hospitals. If you are undergoing tests for respiratory problems, you can wipe a swab across your nose before sending it to the lab. BioFire's system offers a quick turnaround time, allowing clinicians to act quickly. This means that patients will enjoy better outcomes and will spend less time waiting for results. The Chanouf Farm Biofire company has created an agroforestry recycling unit that uses pear and olive waste to make biomass power and organic charcoal. The products are offered to the public to replace traditional coal briquettes and wood charcoal with green alternatives. Additionally, these bio-waste products can be used to fuel a Kachelofen fireplace, which provides radiant heat that is a green alternative to electric and gas fires. Clean burning When you use bio-fire, you're not only saving energy, but you're also helping the environment by using a renewable fuel source. Bioethanol's combustion does not produce harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide. Instead, it releases water vapour and heat. This makes it a cleaner and safer option for indoor use. Ethanol is a byproduct of the fermentation of sugars in plants and is classified as an alternative source of energy that can be used to generate renewable fuel. This means that it can be made quickly and will not run out like fossil fuels like coal and oil. The use of bioethanol helps reduce the dependency on imports from abroad and reduces the risks associated with shortages in supply. The bio-fires can be installed easily and in existing fireplace openings, or as an independent unit. This makes them an alternative to gas and wood fires. They're also ideal for offices and homes without chimneys or flues. When a bio-fire is ignited the burner is outfitted with a specific media that absorbs the liquid ethanol fuel and makes it ready for combustion. The ethanol is then burned by the flames and the vapours are emitted out into the atmosphere through the vent. This gives the flames a more natural appearance and a captivating beauty that can't be matched by wood or gas fires. Bio-fires have the advantage of not needing a vent or flue to replenish oxygen during combustion. They also don't create carbon monoxide which must be vented into the air in open fronted gas fires. The BioFire Respiratory panel employs multiplex PCR to simultaneously test for respiratory pathogens. This takes about an hour. This lets doctors identify and eliminate respiratory illnesses much faster than with conventional laboratory tests, which require visits to the patient. This saves time and money for both the patient and health care system. Safe indoors Bio-fires are far safer to use indoors than real fires, as they produce no smoke or carcinogenic fumes. The bio-fires don't produce carbon monoxide which is harmful if inhaled. The bio-ethanol fuel that they use is flammable however, and you should take great care when handling the burner and refilling your fire. The fuel should only be added after the burner has been turned off and the fire has cooled. Any spills must be cleaned immediately. The company's diagnostic FilmArray system—BioFire Torch and BioFire 2.0—are user-friendly and able to run eight different diagnostic panels cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration, three additional panels authorized for use in emergencies, and six environmental test panels. The tests include a respiratory panel developed to quickly identify and discriminate respiratory illnesses including COVID-19, emerging coronaviruses and COVID-19. The Biomedical Advance Research and Development Initiative, a part of the US Department of Defense Strategic Access Program has granted the COVID-19 panel a grant. The COVID-19 test is based on antigens and allows doctors to differentiate symptoms caused by COVID-19 from those caused by other respiratory infections. The test has a similar accuracy as the tests for rapid antigen that are currently in use. Additionally the company is in the process of developing an SARS-CoV-2 assay for their Respiratory 2.1 Panel. This multiplexed nucleic acid amplifying test will be available for use on the BioFire FilmArray 2.0 and Torch Systems, and will detect SARS-CoV-2 as well as 21 other respiratory pathogens within nasopharyngeal or saliva specimens in less than an hour. The test is being developed in a rapid timeframe and submission to the FDA for EUA and 510(k) clearance is expected in the third quarter of 2020. While bio-ethanol flame-effect fireplaces are extremely safe to use, they must be kept away from flammable materials like blankets, curtains and cushions. They should not be placed near anything that could catch alight and it is recommended to keep flammable materials at least 10 feet away from them. The bioethanol fuel should be stored in a location that is dry and secure where children or pets cannot easily reach it. Simple to use The bio ethanol fire place has no chimney to be concerned about. You only need a place to store the fuel and a place to store it. Once you've filled it and lit it, ignite it. This will give the appearance of an actual flame. After the flame has been ignited, it will heat the room but with very little or no smoke. It also produces a lot of heat, similar to what wood-burning fireplaces do. Bio fires are also very easy to maintain and don't require any servicing, just the odd cleaning. The BioFire RP2.1 Easy test unlike other tests that use the syndromic method of identifying typical signs of infection, can provide results in 45 minutes. The test is designed for patients suffering from upper respiratory symptoms and has a specificity rate of 98%. The test can detect up to 19 viruses and three bacteria in one sample, making it a great choice for patient management. The BioFire platform combines multiplex testing, sample preparation, and result reporting in one integrated platform. This allows laboratories to streamline their workflow and eliminate the need for a series procedure that involves individual and send-out tests. This can result in improved patient outcomes by enabling the right test to be used first time, and by removing the need for costly tests that are based on a culture. Additionally the BioFire system can identify pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance genes on an molecular level, providing data that is more precise than traditional methods. Molecular diagnostics are increasingly used to improve patient care and outcomes. The BioFire RP2.1 plus panel employs the syndromic approach to simultaneously target 23 of the most frequently involved pathogens in respiratory infections. The assay is available on the BioFire film array 2.0 and Torch systems and provides results in 45 minutes. In the US this test is currently available under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), and will be available commercially after initial DoD demand is satisfied. Additionally, the BioFire Defense Team has developed an automated, sample-to-result assay to quickly identify of COVID-19. This assay is in development and will be available once the initial DoD demands are met.
