MALDI Biotyper® Library
Highlights
MALDI Biotyper® Library
The principle behind identification of microorganisms with the MALDI Biotyper®(MBT)的质谱进行了比较unknown organism with a library of reference mass spectra.
Bruker has invested substantial resources to collecting as many species and obtaining as broad strain coverage as possible, to build up the most comprehensive libraries for users. As an ever-evolving platform, the MBT has a broader identification scope than all other molecular platforms.
Features
The pillars of the MALDI Biotyper®
For the MALDI Biotyper® RUO/GP workflows, four different libraries are available
The MBT reference library(version 2021) covers 3,893 species of 664 microorganism genera.
The Security-Relevant (SR) Librarycovers 12 highly pathogenic species from 10 genera.
The optional MBT Filamentous Fungi Module(version 2021) comes with a specific reference spectrum library for 247 species / species groups. Additionally 27 strains can be identified at genus level.
The optional MBT Mycobacteria Moduleholds a specific reference spectrum library for 182 of the currently known 201 mycobacteria species, covering the natural variability of Mycobacterium species.
The Open Microbiology concept
For research use only (RUO), Bruker’s unique open library concept allows laboratories looking to create their own library entries to make use of the optional MBT Explorer®Software Module, to compile customized libraries by creating reference spectra which can then be shared with fellow researchers.
This software module also offers multiple sophisticated bioinformatics for spectra comparison and statistical data interpretation, enabling users to optimize the microorganism classification process by creating, modifying and organizing data.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in clinical diagnostic procedures.
