MALDI Biotyper: The next generation
microbial identification system for the 21st century
The easy & robust protocols for sample preparation starting e.g. from single bacterial colonies allow for a fast and cost – effective sample processing.
In a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer, proteins and peptides are separated by their mass – revealing a characteristic peak pattern, the individual molecular fingerprint.
The easy-to-use software MALDI Biotyper reliably identifies microorganisms by the species-specific signal patterns contained in their respective molecular profiles in correlation to reference profiles. The whole process (data acquisition, analysis, identification, output) is performed by this single dedicated software.
A unique and continuously enlarged library containing thousands of reference entries enables secure identification of your current sample with respect to the references using sophisticated pattern matching algorithms.
It takes only minutes to receive the results. With only five mouse clicks the system is started and delivers a clear result.
Options for a more detailed analysis such as sub-typing, principal component analysis, dendrogram generation or creation of own reference files are also included in the software.
The MALDI Biotyper is already successfully implemented in an increasing number of clinical routine labs.
