Notice Information

Notice Title

Maldi Biotyper Mass Spectrometer

Notice Description

The MALDI Biotyper(r) is a microbial identification system based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, allowing unbiased identification of microorganisms within a few minutes down to the species level. The principle behind is straightforward; the MALDI Biotyper(r) determines the unique proteomic fingerprint of an unknown microorganism, and matches this characteristic pattern with an extensive reference library to determine the organism's identity. Continuous expansion of the reference library ensures that a broad range of microorganisms can be identified easily
