"This easy to use mass-spectrometric device enables a fast and efficient typing of bacteria, fungi and mammalian cells. The workflow to bring e.g., bacterial cells onto a sample plate is greatly streamlined and the subsequent mass recording and typing on the Microflex apparatus from Bruker is ideal, even for non-MS trained persons. I would call it from plate to plate (agar plate to MALDI steel plate). Have fun with it!"

"Instrument user interface is intuitive, sample processing is reproducible and accurate, and vendor service response has been timely and effective."

"It is easy to use even for students. It has good performance, sensitivity, accuracy and gives great results. Good for ordinary and imaging mass spectroscopy."

"This product is excellent at giving results to clinicians quickly that saves a lot of time compared to doing a Gram stains, API’s etc. It would have been useful to know about similar products before the purchase. The few areas the lab is having difficulty with is the database of organisms, it is quite vast but there are still some organisms which are not validated. Also some organisms are crossed match e.g. S.oralis and S.pneumoniae."

"This system is very time efficient. I think it is changing the face of the microbiology lab. Rapid ID can help doctors begin treatment with sensitivities pending."
