BREMEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2012-- Bruker today announces multiple placements of MALDI Biotyper systems for rapid, differentiated and cost-effective microbial identification with various local, state and federal authorities and institutes in Germany. These local authorities are responsible for public health, animal health, food safety, consumer protection, agriculture and fisheries.
近年来，欧洲临床实验室越来越多地使用MALDI-TOF质谱进行常规微生物鉴定。与以前的生化测试方法相反，MALDI BIOTYPER提供了非常快速识别的好处，从培养板开始几分钟内可用的结果。此外，与市售生化方法相比，MALDI Biotyper参考文献具有更广泛的微生物物种覆盖范围，适用于从食品安全和消费者保护来源获得的分离株。通常，来自这些来源的分离物在先前的商业识别系统中没有足够的代表。
Microbial identification with the MALDI Biotyper is done using a proteomic fingerprint. This unique species-specific pattern is automatically compared with proteomic fingerprints of reference spectra from more than 2100 species in the MALDI Bioptyper library. In addition, the MALDI Biotyper supports the Open Microbiology Concept which allows customers to generate their own entries from their own regional isolates via a push-button process and storage in a customer-specific sub-library.
Among recent new MALDI Biotyper customers are state and local authorities in Baden-Württemberg (www.ua-bw.de), Stuttgart (CVUA Stuttgart), Karlsruhe (CVUA Karlsruhe), Freiburg (CVUA Freiburg) and Aulendorf (STUA Aulendorf). Additional orders were received from authorities in Arnsberg (STUA Arnsberg), Rostock (LALLF Rostock,www.lallf.de) and Bad Langensalza (www.thueringen.de/de/tllv). Previously, authorities in Oldenburg (www.laves.niedersachsen.de), Krefeld (CVUA Krefeld) and Oberschleißheim (www.lgl.bayern.de) have implemented the MALDI Biotyper workflow.
Recently, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung, Berlin,www.bfr.bund.de) and the Industry Control Office Hildesheim (www.gewerbeaufsicht.niedersachsen.de)也选择了MALDI生物型r. As a result, a wide range of German state and local authorities, regulatory bodies and federal control institutes now rely on Bruker's MALDI Biotyper solution for their microbial identification requirements. Bruker complies with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 requirements for quality management in its MALDI Biotyper production facilities in Bremen (Germany) and in Billerica, Massachusetts (USA) in compliance with the strict quality assurance requirements of this customer group.
Dr. Jörg Rau at the CVUA Stuttgart commented: “In our laboratory we have utilized Bruker´s FT-IR spectroscopy instruments for a number of years. We see a general trend that such modern physical techniques increasingly replace outdated biochemical testing. Accordingly, it was a logical step to introduce also a MALDI-TOF MS based workflow with the MALDI Biotyper in our laboratory for broad identification and typing purposes to complement the FT-IR spectrometer. It is especially helpful that the MALDI Biotyper reference library is an open system, where we can add our own isolates, if needed. We can even exchange these new entries between our cooperating laboratory sites in Baden-Württemberg.”
Bruker Daltonics微型生物学业务执行副总裁Wolfgang Pusch博士补充说：“我们很高兴这些涉及消费者保护，食品安全和风险评估的当局已为其微生物学实验室选择了MALDI Biotyper。这清楚地表明，Bruker Maldi Biotyper正在为这些实验室的微生物识别设定新的标准，以实现高质量，快速和成本效益的方法。我们将食品安全测试视为MALDI BIOTYPER系统的其他广泛应用领域之一。”
About the BrukerMALDI BIOTYPER
专用的MALDI BIOTYPERsolution enables molecular identification, and taxonomical classification or dereplication of microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Classification and identification of microorganisms is achieved reliably and quickly using proteomic fingerprinting by high-throughput MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Applications include clinical routine microbial identification, environmental and pharmaceutical analysis, taxonomical research, food and consumer product safety and quality control, as well as marine microbiology. The robustMALDI BIOTYPERmethod requires minimal sample preparation and offers low consumables cost. TheMALDI BIOTYPERis available in a research-use-only version, or in an IVD-CE version according to EU directive EC/98/79 in various European countries.
