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 required...

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 additional...

Intuitive Software Tailored to the In just a few easy steps, the simple-to-use software guides users through the set-up of an isolate or batch of isolates for analysis. Clear identification results display at species level spectral data has been com- pleted, a report is generated The result for each sample shows the best match along with the respective matching

The Best Technology from the Experts in Mass Spectrometry As the leader in MALDI-TOF technology is it of great importance to Bruker to design robust, compact, high performance platforms intended for extensive and routine usage in the microbiology laboratory. The core of the MALDI Biotyper system is the cutting-edge microflex LT/SH MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. A space saving system A true bench-top solution taking up less than 1 meter/ 3 feet of counter space to provide flexibility in meeting laboratory needs. Requires only a 110/220 V electrical supply and generates minimal thermal output. Resolution...
