«ALMASS Bio» Reagent kit

This version of the kit is intended for preparing of samples of microorganisms of 3-4 pathogenicity groups isolated from clinical samples during their species identification, and for calibration of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers by typical Escherichia coli protein profile bacteria as an auxiliary tool for in vitro diagnostics of infectious diseases. It is designed to perform at least 3000 identifications (at least 210 application points of «ALMASS Bio Standart» reagent for calibration).

Includes:

• «ALMASS Bio Standart» reagent – a purified protein extract of Escherichia coli DH5 alpha strain, which demonstrates a typical protein profile of the bacterium during mass spectrometric analysis and it is used for mass calibration;
• «ALMASS Bio Matrix» reagent – α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) is used as a matrix for «ALMASS Bio Standart» reagent and analyzed samples, providing reduction of destructive effect of laser radiation during analysis;
• «ALMASS Bio Solvent» – a solvent for «ALMASS Bio Standart» and «ALMASS Bio Matrix» reagents.

This version of the kit is intended for preparing of samples of microorganisms of 3-4 pathogenicity groups isolated from clinical samples during their species identification, and for calibration of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers by typical Escherichia coli protein profile bacteria as an auxiliary tool for in vitro diagnostics of infectious diseases. It is designed for at least 9000 identifications (at least 630 application points of «ALMASS Bio Standart» reagent for calibration).

Includes:
