This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of MALDI-TOF for diagnosing onychomycosis in patients with nail psoriasis, by using conventional mycological and histological methods ...

As bacteria do not need to be cultured on agar, the MALDI-TOF method cuts the time to identify UTI-causing bacteria to less than 30 minutes.

It's been 20 years since Hillenkamp and Karas developed MALDI. In that time, the soft ionization method, coupled with time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry, has distinguished itself as the enabling ...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is a soft ionization method used in the detection of various chemical compounds with a broad mass range.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization – time of flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectrometry is to be added to Public Health England’s (PHE’s) standard microbiological test methods.

List (3) benefits of implementing an FDA-cleared application vs a laboratory developed test (LDT) in a US clinical microbiology laboratory. Discuss how the MALDI-TOF based application for rapid ID ...

The new smartbeam technology permits the use of all matrixes and sample preparation methods typically used in MALDI-TOF analysis, from dried droplet to sandwich preparation techniques.

The MALDI Biotyper simplifies and shortens confirmation and identification steps, facilitating and harmonizing the workflow with only one system for bacteria, yeast and moulds.

<p> The space-saving MALDI-8020 achieves performance specifications similar to those of larger, more expensive MALDI-TOF models but in a significantly smaller footprint. It improves laboratory ...

Wolfgang Pusch, executive VP for the Bruker Daltonics microbiology business unit, adds that although the MALDI-TOF method is already well established, there is “significant growth potential” for its ...
