Rapid Determination of Procyanidins Using MALDI-ToF/ToF Mass Spectrometry

Rapid MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identification of Leptospira organisms.

Leptospirosis is a worldwide deadly zoonotic disease. Accurate identification of the causative Leptospira spp. spirochetes ascertains the pathogenic status of the isolates, identifies potential source of infection and recognises outbreaks. Species identification is currently based on technically demanding, time and resources consuming serological and molecular methods. Matrix-assisted laser des...

MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry for the Rapid Identification of Tick

24 A method for rapid species identification of ticks may help clinicians predict the disease outcomes 25 of patients with tick bites and may inform the decision as to whether to administer post-exposure 26 prophylactic antibiotic treatment. We aimed to establish a MALDI-TOF MS spectra database based 27 on the analysis of the legs of 6 tick vectors: Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus sanguineu...

Using AP-MALDI Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry

Rapid identification of gram negative bacteria from blood culture broth using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

An important role of the clinical microbiology laboratory is to provide rapid identification of bacteria causing bloodstream infection. Traditional identification requires the sub-culture of signaled blood culture broth with identification available only after colonies on solid agar have matured. MALDI-TOF MS is a reliable, rapid method for identification of the majority of clinically relevant ...
