Straightforward to Result There is nothing faster - and easier The MALDI Biotyper identifies microorganisms using MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight) Mass Spectrometry to determine the unique proteomic fingerprint of an organism. The characteristic spectrum pattern of this proteomic fingerprint is used to reliably and accurately identify a particular microorganism by matching thousands of reference spectra of microorganism strains. The MALDI Biotyper workflow has been designed to be as robust and easy to perform as possible. Only a few simple steps are...

Rigorous and Sophisticated Data Analysis Assures Accuracy Meaning of score values The acquired spectrum of the sample is transformed into a peak pattern, utilizing dedicated spectral analysis tools. This pattern is compared to reference peak lists of organisms in the reference library and a log(score) value between 0.00 and 3.00 is calculated. The higher the log(score) value, the higher the degree of similarity to a given organism in the reference library. Values ≥ 2 (green) indicate high confidence identifications. Log (score) values between 1.70 and 1.99 (yellow) need to be confirmed by...
