Microbial Identification for Clinical Laboratories (IVD-CE)

微生物鉴定到物种水平是微生物学的关键任务。传统上，这是通过进行劳动密集型和耗时的生化测定方法来实现的。尽管当前的测序技术可能会提供非常精确的见解，但它们仍然太慢且昂贵。Bruker成功地引入了一种创新的，基于分子的质谱识别方法，该方法比常规测定或测序更快，更有效地分析。

By using our experience and expertise as a worldwide leading provider of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, Bruker developed the MALDI Biotyper^®- a revolutionary approach for the analysis of microorganisms. This "Open Microbiology Concept" can be easily integrated into any clinical laboratory environment. Within just a few years, the MALDI Biotyper^®has become the worldwide leading solution for clinical microbiology, as well as for water, pharmaceutical and food testing.

布鲁克介绍了IVD-CE认证的Maldi Biotyper^®(MBT) solution in 2009 for clinical microbiology, and since then it has quickly become established as the method of choice for microorganism identification in routine clinical microbiology laboratories.
Fast and reliable identification of microorganisms is a key task in clinical microbiology. Classical biochemical techniques based on different metabolic characteristics of microorganisms typically take hours or even days, and often lack specificity. Using the MALDI Biotyper^®, microbiologists can go from culture to identification within minutes.

The MALDI Biotyper^®systems provide high-speed, high-confidence identification and taxonomical classification of bacteria and yeasts. Classification and identification are based on proteomic fingerprinting using high-throughput MALDI TOF mass spectrometry; characteristic fingerprinting patterns are matched with an extensive MBT IVD reference library to identify the microorganism.
This allows an unbiased identification of microorganisms within a few minutes, down to the species level. Numerous studies have demonstrated the higher accuracy, faster time-to-result and lower costs provided by MALDI Biotyper^®与经典方法相比。MBT IVD参考文献的连续扩展可确保包括所有临床相关的微生物以及更具挑战性的生物。

质谱专家的最佳技术。
As the leader in MALDI-TOF technology it is of great importance to Bruker to design robust, compact high-performance platforms intended for extensive and routine use in the microbiology laboratory.
The MALDI Biotyper^®is a modular system designed to be configured according to individual laboratory needs. Bruker offers laboratories the choice of the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer that best fits their needs. Continuous hardware development has led to the 4^Thgeneration of Bruker's benchtop MALDI Biotyper^®systems.
