MALDI Biotyper® Consumables

The MBT Easy T^® Kit streamlines the transfer step in your MALDI Biotyper workflows, helping you achieve consistent, high quality microbial identifications with minimal effort. Designed for the DT/eDT, MyT, and Rapid Sepsityper^® workflows, the kit provides essential reagents in convenient, safe, and quality controlled formats that reduce evaporation, impurities, and variability. Each kit includes standard solvent in hermetically sealed ampoules, ready-to-use formic acid solution, and 2 packs of sample applicators - enough for up to 2,000 samples. The MBT Easy T^® Kit is used in combination with Bacterial Test Standard and HCCA matrix. With its tailored packaging, the MBT Easy T^® Kit supports easy storage, sustainability, full traceability, and the convenience of sourcing all key consumables from Bruker. It’s the effortless, reliable way to keep your MALDI Biotyper workflow running smoothly.

At the heart of MALDI-TOF top performance lies precision calibration in line with the highest laboratory standards. Our approach involves utilizing a stable and accurately characterized Bacterial Test Standard (BTS) that spans the entirety of the mass range relevant to your work. No extrapolation. The real work. Even more - the BTS serves as integrated control safeguarding the validity of the results in every MALDI Biotyper identification run.

We go further to streamline your workflow. The Bacterial Test Standard is conveniently shipped as a stable lyophilized powder, eliminating the need for time-consuming daily cultivation steps. 

But that's not all. BTS is part of our IDealTune^™ feature, an innovation seamlessly integrated into the MBT Compass HT software platform. The key parameters of the MALDI-TOF system are automatically finetuned in the background while analyzing BTS within the normal sample run, without requiring further action. This way, your system consistently delivers highest quality results you can rely on.

Only one tiny droplet is required per sample. Nevertheless, matrix plays a crucial role in MALDI by facilitating the ionization and desorption of analytes, protecting them from damage, and enhancing the overall sensitivity and signal quality of the mass spectrometry analysis. The type and quality of matrix can significantly impact the success of your analysis with MALDI.  

In MALDI Biotyper^® workflows, α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA) is used as a matrix for most applications. Bruker’s “instant soluble” HCCA matrix enables easy and convenient preparation of HCCA matrix solutions. It is delivered in a stable, dried form, portioned conveniently. As the matrix is critical for the quality of the results, the Bruker HCCA matrix undergoes a special purification process and strict quality control to guarantee its constant excellent performance with the MALDI Biotyper^®.

Are you tired of time-consuming cleaning protocols and staff training for reusable targets in your microbiology lab? Look no further. The MBT Biotarget 96 is here to simplify your laboratory processes, boost productivity, and save you time and effort.

Disposable and cost-effective

The MBT Biotarget 96 features 96 sample positions and is a disposable MALDI target plate, eliminating the need for cleaning protocols and costly validation procedures. Say goodbye to the hassle of training staff on target cleaning for reusable steel plates. Productivity soars as you reclaim precious time previously spent on target plate cleaning.

Enhanced liquid sample preparation

Our patented AnchorChip™ effect, with a hydrophobic surface coating surrounding hydrophilic sample positions, makes sure your samples stay on their designated spots, thus avoiding cross-contamination. This advanced feature ensures safe and precise MALDI sample preparation, further enhancing your lab's efficiency.
