Product news

Bruker is a leading provider of high-performance scientific instruments and solutions for life and materials science, as well as diagnostics, industrial and applied markets. Bruker have the world’s most comprehensive range of scientific instrumentation available under one brand – a brand that is synonymous with excellence, innovation and quality for over 50 years!

Bruker’s MALDI TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight) products and solutions offer a market leading technology platform that is well known for outstanding performance, reliability, convenience and innovative design. These products and solutions enable highly automated workflows for the acquisition and analysis of information from the smallest amounts of samples – all within just seconds. The Bruker MALDI BioTyper identifies microorganisms using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to measure a unique molecular fingerprint of an organism. It is the first routine clinical application for MS platforms.

The Bruker MALDI Biotyper was developed for the microbiology market and was the first turn-key MALDI-TOF system. It has been rapidly accepted as a valuable tool in the fight against infectious disease and has been acquired by over 800 labs worldwide based on peer-reviewed publications and customer feedback. Additionally, the Bruker MALDI Biotyper can consolidate test methods for organism identification and serve as a first line method for their identification.

Visit Bruker at AACC booth #2854 to learn more about the Bruker MALDI Biotyper.

The MALDI Biotyper is for Research Use Only.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
