BioMérieux SA – Microbiology – Vitek @ MS
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique for determining the elemental composition of a sample. The MS principle consists of ionizing chemical compounds to generate charged molecules and to measure their mass-to-charge ratio.
Key Features
Vitek @ MS
- Ultra-rapid results: Directly deposit the microorganism on the target slide, add the ready-to-use matrix solution and insert slide into the VITEK® MS system. Identification results are displayed within minutes.
- Security and traceability: Not only is VITEK MS 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant, but the VITEK MS includes the VITEK® MS Prep Station, which securely links specimen information with each spot on the target slide. Unique barcodes on the plated media and the VITEK MS target slides offer complete workflow traceability.
- Accurate identification: The VITEK MS database, which contains a large number of specific microorganisms for the pharmaceutical industry, was developed from multiple regions, countries, sources and environments. In addition, our proprietary algorithm vastly increases the accuracy of identification.
- Flexible: VITEK MS can be integrated into quality control laboratories with either centralized or decentralized workflows by utilizing its unique VITEK MS Prep Station. This flexibility allows multiple users to work in parallel by preparing their own target slides with the capability to identify up to 192 isolates per run.
