- Description
- Purpose The VITEK MS Plus is an automated microbial identification system that uses innovative mass spectrometry technology (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight - MALDI-TOF). This instrument provides identification results within minutes. MALDI-TOF technology (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight) used by VITEK MS examines the patterns of proteins detected directly from intact bacteria. The sample to be analyzed is mixed with another compound, called a matrix. The mixture is applied to a metal plate target slide and irradiated/ ionized with a laser. The matrix absorbs the laser light and vaporizes, along with the sample, and in the process gains an electrical charge (ionization). Electrical fields then guide the ions into the time of flight mass spectrometer, ions are separated according to their mass to charge (m/z) ratio, and ultimately the quantity of each ion is measured. Detection is achieved at the end of the flight tube. The VITEK MS database is comprised of over 25,000 spectra for clinically relevant micro-organisms. A large number of strains have been tested for each species and are included in the database.
