Being easy to use, rapid, robust, cost-effective and efficient, while offering high-throughput capabilities, the MALDI Biotyper® is an ideal match for any microbiology laboratory. It determines the unique proteo-mic fingerprint of a microorganism and matches characteristic patterns 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 and reliably.
As a pioneer in MALDI-TOF technology, Bruker is committed to crafting resilient, compact, and high-performance platforms tailored for widespread and daily application in microbiology laboratories.
The MALDI Biotyper stands out as a modular system, allowing customization based on specific laboratory requirements. Ongoing hardware advancements have culminated in the development of Bruker's 4th generation benchtop MALDI Biotyper system, now also offering the capability of analysis in negative ion mode, broadening research applications, such as lipid profiling.
The broad range of microorganisms covered, together with its flexibility make the MBT an ideal solution not just for clinical laboratories, but also laboratories working in an industrial environment, such as phar-ma, food or veterinary labs. Customers looking for identification beyond the species level using the IR Biotyper®, can benefit from a seamless integration of these two instruments.
