Bruker Microbiology & Infection Diagnostics Products & Reviews

The MALDI Biotyper® employs MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for microbial identification, facilitating unbiased identification of microorganisms within a few minutes down to the species level, starting from culture. It boasts various features, such as ease of use, rapidity, robustness, high throughput, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency, making it a must-have for microbiology laboratories.

The MBT FAST™ Shuttle significantly reduces the time required for matrix crystallization during MALDI-TOF analysis by at least 50%. This compact benchtop device provides an ideal environment for optimized, standardized, and reproducible matrix crystallization and other droplet assays, making sample preparation more efficient and less time-consuming.

The MBT Pilot® simplifies sample positioning with its microprojection technology, guiding you to the next available MALDI target plate position. This helps prevent sample mix-ups, boosts productivity, and offers an ergonomic setup with optimized hand rests and on-screen help text. Seamlessly integrated with MALDI Biotyper® software, this workstation ensures a fully traceable and paperless process.

Bruker's MBT Sepsityper® solution is designed to integrate seamlessly with the MALDI Biotyper®. This powerful combination enables the identification of pathogens directly from positive blood cultures in just 15-20 minutes, offering a cost-effective and efficient workflow that can significantly enhance patient care.

The MBT Pathfinder® and Feeder solution frees laboratory technicians from tedious, time-consuming sample preparation tasks, enabling them to concentrate on high-value activities such as sample interpretation and analysis. Automated MALDI target plate preparation minimizes time-intensive, repetitive, and error-prone manual processes.

Next generation multiplexing assay for the simultaneous detection of up to 26 pathogens that cause gastroenteritis in a single protocol. Replace multiple tests with one.

The IR Biotyper ® , leveraging FT-IR spectroscopy, enables swift, user-friendly, and cost-effective same-day typing of microbial strains for applications in hospital hygiene, epidemiology, industrial hygiene control, and source tracking.   

Streamlining your MALDI-TOF MS microbiology workflows. The MBT Biotarget 96 is a ready-to-use disposable MALDI-TOF MS target plate for the industry-leading Bruker MALDI Biotyper ® . It streamlines your routine microbiology workflows. The MBT Biotarget 96 enables full traceability with unique barcodes, and it eliminates pre- and post-processing of the target plate making your workflows more productive.
