More than a decade ago, Bruker changed microbiology by developing the MALDI Biotyper® System, the market-leading MALDI-TOF for microbiology laboratories. The user-friendly benchtop system provides an accurate microorganism identification for over 4,000 species in less than 10 minutes, starting from culture. With continuous innovation, Bruker recently introduced the 4th generation: the MALDI Biotyper® sirius System, the sirius solution for microbiology, and is available in FDA cleared, General Purpose and Research Use only labels. Another Bruker innovation, The IR Biotyper®, provides rapid and cost-effective microorganism strain typing using infrared spectroscopy technology to support proactive infection control.
