Microorganism identification in minutes: up to 600 samples per hour
Positive and Negative Ion Regime for Routine and Research
High-performance MALDI-TOF system for rapid identification of microorganisms in clinical microbiology.
The system maps the mass-spectral profile of the isolate to the MALDI Biotyper library. IDealTune's automatic setup, long-lasting smartbeam laser and MBT Compass software environment support a standardized flow from target to result.
The manufacturer claims performance up to 600 samples per hour and the weight of the device is 75 kg. the Sirius version supports measurements in positive and negative ion modes; negative mode is intended for research applications.
