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 Coriolis Micro portable biological air sampler is a standard for testing air quality. Both indoors and outdoors, it’s the most efficient biological air sampler: It can take just 10 minutes to collect airborne particles using its cyclonic technology paired with a high suction rate. By generating samples in the fluid phase, Coriolis µ is compatible with rapid microbiological analysis methods.

The Bruker MALDI Biotyper® System is used for rapid microbial identification. 

Label-free and fluorescence isolation of microbiota, cultured bacteria, and yeast

Pickolo™ is a colony-picker add-on for Tecan robots. The product enable advanced and fully automated micro-organism colony picking from agar plates, both Petri-dish and various multi-well plate formats, based on diverse criteria such as size, shape and color of the colonies. The product seamlessly installed on to the robot in just a few minutes. The software is easily integrated into regular Tecan scripts such as Freedom EVOwa…

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.

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.

The RapidPick is a powerful solution for laboratories seeking an automated, efficient, and sterile approach to medium-to-high throughput colony picking, in a small footprint. Its flexibility, precision, and integration capabilities make it an invaluable tool for modern molecular biology workflows.

The automatic colony counter is an advanced instrument in microbiology testing, widely used in testing bacteria in food, pharmaceutical, biological, cosmetics and hygeinic products. There is only one switch on the instrument, which enhances device longevity. The whole colony-counting process is completed on the software on PC. The HCC-90A and B series have a separate laptop included.

A breakthrough in monoclonal​ gammopathy assessment

Sorcerer is the latest in a highly successful series of automatic colony counting systems from Perceptive Instruments. It combines sophisticated image processing and analysis with an innovative Petri-viewer to provide fast, accurate counts of bacterial and mammalian colonies. Sorcerer is ideal for laboratories engaged in drug development and production, food and milk testing, environmental monitoring and public health. Sorcere…

Rapid, manual counting of colonies

ProtoCOL 3/ProtoCOL 3 HD is the next generation instrument for colony counting, zone measurements (inhibition and antibiotic susceptibility testing), membranes, PETRIFILM™ plates, CompactDry™ plates and a range of other applications including: spiral plates, OPKA (opsonophagocytic killing assay), SBA (serum bactericidal assay), Multi-sector, Multi-well, SRD (single radial immunodiffusion) and Ames. 

EZ-Fluo is a non-destructive method that enables you to continue to grow the microorganisms after they have been stained in order to identify them using any standard ID technology.

Affordable colony counting

Lockable ICRplus Settle Plates – For more than just safe transportation The new ICRplus Settle Plates combine the high standard of ICR Settle Plates with a novel two way closure system to increase safety and reliability for active and passive Air Monitoring. Like ICR Settle Plates, the ICRplus Settle Plates are produced under aseptic conditions, gamma-irradiated and triple-bagged, making them optimal for passive air sampling…

ProcScan – large plate imaging. ProcScan is used when working with large size plates either for colony counting or for the measurement of inhibition zones on plates which are too large to fit inside the ProtoCOL 3.The ProcScan can be connected to a ProtoCOL 3 or a stand alone computer that is running the ProtoCOL 3 software.When larger plates are being utilised, simply use the ProcScan scanner which can work with plates of up…
