At the 61st Annual Meeting of the German Society for Hygiene and
Microbiology, Bruker Daltonics announces that Labor
Becker-Olgem�ller in Munich has installed the Bruker MALDI
Biotyper as their next-generation, rapid molecular microbial
identification system. One key factor in Labor Becker-Olgem�ller’s
decision was the MALDI Biotyper’s capability to be used as a
multiple workstation solution, which allows for remote control of
the instrument from multiple microbiology workstations in the
clinical laboratory via remote clients.
In this multiuser mode, the MALDI Biotyper fits smoothly
into the existing workflows in Labor Becker-Olgem�ller, and even
allows remote analysis and reporting of the results from any
office. The system at Labor Becker-Olgem�ller is already the
seventh MALDI Biotyper that has been placed in the Munich
area, demonstrating the rapid acceptance of its paradigm-changing
molecular approach to microbial identification.
Prof. Dr. Bernhard Olgem�ller stated: “We are pleased to see our
laboratory workflows streamlined by using the MALDI Biotyper
in a multi workstation environment. We have a throughput of more
than a thousand samples for microbial analysis per day, and we need
to bet on the fastest and most efficient technology for that
purpose in order to stay cost-effective.”
Dr. Guido Mix, Director of Microbiology at Bruker Daltonics,
added: “With the full integration of the MALDI Biotyper at
Labor Becker-Olgem�ller, we have reached a new level of
sophistication and throughput in the usage of our MALDI
Biotyper in a clinical routine laboratory environment.”
About the Bruker MALDI Biotyper
Bruker’s dedicated MALDI Biotyper solution enables
molecular identification, taxonomical classification or
dereplication of microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts and fungi.
Classification and identification of microorganisms is achieved
reliably and fast using proteomic fingerprinting with
high-throughput MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Applications include
clinical routine microbial identification, environmental and
pharmaceutical analysis, taxonomical research, food and consumer
product processing and quality control, as well as in marine
microbiology. Bruker’s robust MALDI Biotyper method requires
minimal sample preparation efforts and offers low cost per sample.
The MALDI Biotyper is available in a research-use-only
version, as well as in an IVD version according to the EU directive
EC/98/79 in certain EU countries. For more information, please
