Bruker introduced the IVD-CE certified MALDI Biotyper solution in 2009 for clinical microbiology and since then it has quickly become established as the method of choice for routine clinical microbiology laboratories.
The MALDI Biotyper is a microbial identification system based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry allowing unbiased identification of microorganisms within a few minutes down to the species level.
The MALDI Biotyper is an easy, rapid, robust, high-throughput, cost-effective and efficient identification technology. Continued expansion of the IVD reference library ensures the inclusion of common clinical microorganisms as well as rare organisms.
