Development of O Antigen Rapid Typing by MALDI-TOF MS

High Molecular Weight Typing with MALDI-TOF MS - A Novel Method for Rapid Typing of Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile strains were typed by a newly developed MALDI-TOF method, high molecular weight typing, and compared to PCR ribotyping. Among 500 isolates representing 59 PCR ribotypes a total of 35 high molecular weight types could be resolved. Although less discriminatory than PCR ribotyping, the method is extremely fast and simple, and supports for cost-effective screening of isolates ...

Dossier MALDI - TOF ■ Oligonucleotide analysis by MALDI - MS

Matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI) time-offlight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been successfully used for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation by mass analysis of fragments generated by concentration-dependent exonuclease digestion. This approach is particularly well-suited to the analysis of synthetic DNA due to the relatively short length of the DNA strands. Additionally, an importa...

Characterization of fengycin homologues produced by Bacillus subtilis K1 by MALDI-TOF tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS/MS)

Typing of 67 SNP Loci on X Chromosome by PCR and MALDI - TOF MS

A set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on X chromosome was selected with the aim of forensic identification in Chinese Han population to complement the analysis of autosomal, Y-chromosomal or mitochondrial markers, especially in deficiency cases. 67 forensically relevant X-SNPs were screened in a Chinese Han population sample. Genomic DNA samples extracted from 295 unrelated Chinese Han...
