BD™ Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA System
Reliable, comprehensive, and accurate identification results directly from positive blood culture or colony.
- Overview
- Products & Accessories
- EIFU & Resources
The BD™ Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA System* identifies microorganisms
using MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometry to measure a unique proteomic fingerprint of an organism.
BD™ Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA System
Comprehensive coverage
Intentional focus on library expansion which currently offers US-IVD identification for over 480 different FDA cleared species including gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and yeasts
Workflow optimization
Optional accessories and software modules that support sample types derived from colony or direct from positive blood culture with the MBT Sepsityper® workflow
Efficient testing
Sample focused workflow as QC spot requirements allow for test volume flexibility and the MALDI biotarget plates can be reused if not all target positions have been consumed
QC support
Bacterial Test Standards (BTS) are packaged quality controls which have been specifically designed for use with the MALDI Biotyper® and cover the entire mass range of proteins used for precise identification
Informatics supported
MALDI plate mapping supported by BD Epicenter™ with connectivity and automatic transfer of results available to BD Phoenix™ M50
Robust identification
Fast identification within minutes and high accuracy comparable to 16S rRNA gene sequencing1,2,3
Laboratory designed
Compact system with low-noise and weight (<166 lbs.) that requires less than 3 feet of counter space
Quality components
Proprietary lifetime** smartbeam™ laser and high-performance vacuum system that help generate fast target exchange times
Simple results interpretation
The result for each sample is clearly listed within the user interface and interpreted with the resulting confidence score and ‘traffic light’ color scheme
Resourceful biotarget plates
Effectively designed target plates that can support up to 96 sample positions and may help laboratories to save on time and costs through MALDI-TOF identification2,4,5
Literature
BD's collection of literature on industry and on our offerings gives you information you can use to continue striving for excellence.
