美國(guó)Idaho公司是致力于研發(fā)生命科學(xué)領(lǐng)域中用于微生物鑒定和核酸分析的快速高效的分析儀器的高科技公司，產(chǎn)品包括DNA擴(kuò)增的RapidCycler PCR，實(shí)時(shí)熒光定量PCR LightScanner 32，高分辨率熔解曲線分析LightScanner96/384及HR-1，突變檢測(cè)和基因分型等。Idaho公司在Mutation Discovery和Genotyping科研領(lǐng)域中具有世界頂尖科技的產(chǎn)品。此外，在水及食品安全檢測(cè)領(lǐng)域具有領(lǐng)先的產(chǎn)品可科技。

Light Scanner 高分辨溶解曲線基因突變/基因分型檢測(cè)系統(tǒng)是美國(guó)Idaho公司經(jīng)過(guò)7年的潛心研發(fā)而商品化的世界上第一臺(tái)專門(mén)用于快速基因突變掃描和基因分型的高通量檢測(cè)系統(tǒng)，5分鐘即可完成96/384孔板樣品突變檢測(cè)，尤其用于測(cè)序前的大規(guī)模突變篩查及基因分型工作，使測(cè)序的工作量降低為原來(lái)的1%。此外LightScanner還可以檢測(cè)到體細(xì)胞樣品中比例低至0.1%的突變，特別適用于Cancer及流行病學(xué)大規(guī)模篩查。 

美國(guó)Idaho公司高分辨基因突變掃描和基因分型分析系統(tǒng).LightScanner是第一臺(tái)利用高分辨熔解曲線進(jìn)行高通量（96或384孔PCR板系統(tǒng)）的基因突變掃描和基因分型分析的儀器。它具有極好的敏感性和特異性，其優(yōu)勢(shì)充分體現(xiàn)在溫度控制和數(shù)據(jù)獲取率。適合高通量樣品篩查項(xiàng)目。只需在PCR反應(yīng)上加入LCGreen染色劑，樣品經(jīng)PCR擴(kuò)增后將PCR板轉(zhuǎn)放入LightScanner儀器中進(jìn)行熔解曲線分析。 
2014年生物梅里埃完成收購(gòu)BioFire Diagnostics 
2012年Idaho Technology公司更名為BioFire Diagnostics

BioFire Diagnostics, Inc. is a privately held clinical diagnostics company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 1990, the Company currently holds over 70 patents related to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including rapid PCR cycling. The Company has used its extensive patent portfolio to successfully market nearly 200 products to the clinical, research and military markets.
Our complement of products includes the R.A.P.I.D.®, R.A.P.I.D. LT, and RAZOR® EX Systems and the LightScanner®, LightScanner 32 and FilmArray® Instruments along with an expanding line of freeze-dried reagents and DNA/RNA purification and test kits. Now in our twenty-second year, we are making great strides to ensure that our products remain efficient and user-friendly.
The Company also collaborates with various U.S. governmental agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense. Among others, researchers, medical technicians, law enforcement officers, and soldiers in the field use company devices to detect or study disease-causing organisms.
