The science behind the certainty.

Every report starts as a single colony on a plate. Here's how we turn it into an identified organism, a trend line, and a compliant record.

Identification

Naming the organism with MALDI-TOF.

We use Bruker's MALDI Biotyper® mass spectrometry — the gold standard in microbial identification — delivering genus and species results in seconds with over 99% reliability.

  • Spot the sample

    Isolated colonies are spotted onto a target plate with matrix.

  • Ionize & fly

    A laser ionizes proteins; ions fly to the detector by mass.

  • Match the fingerprint

    The spectral fingerprint is matched against the reference library.
