Description
«ALMASS Bio» MALDI TOF MS System for quick identification of microorganisms.
Identification of microorganisms based on the molecular «fingerprint»
ALMASS Bio system comprises the best European and Asian developments in the field of MALDI mass-spectrometer identification of microorganisms.
The identification is carried out basing on the protein spectre, which is unique for each microbial culture: ribosomal proteins are specific for microorganisms. Software bioinformatical algorithms provide reliable and accurate species identification of microorganisms by means of comparison of the obtained mass-spectres with the comprehensive database.
