Benchtop mass spectrometer for automated microbial identification system
Benchtop mass spectrometer for automated microbial identification system is based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry which includes gridless microSCOUT™ MALDI ion source with extended pulsed ion extraction PAN™ mass range focusing; integrated source cleaning without the need of venting the system; 200 Hz smartbeam laser with minimum 500 million laser shots; high capacity vacuum system TOF analyser for linear-only measurements with positive and negative ion mode. The system measures highly abundant proteins that are found in all microorganisms and determines the unique proteomic fingerprint of an organism, and matches characteristic patterns with an extensive reference library to determine the organism’s identity. It's supported by dedicated microbiology software automates the process of acquiring the mass spectrum and performing the match against the extensive reference library which can be extended with users own library created from microorganism entries.
