Microorganism Identification Strain-specific IDs in minutes Disclose bacteria’s identity by its own unique protein composition with the MALDI Biotyper. During microflex MALDI-TOF analysis, proteins and peptides are arranged in a spectrum with increasing mass – revealing a characteristic peak pattern, even for reliable differentiation of strains: The individual fingerprint. Ease of operation Single bacterial colonies or other biological material can be applied to a MALDI sample target after a simple sample preparation procedure and subsequently introduced to the microflex. Spectra...
