Q Laboratories, Inc. (Cincinnati, Ohio) has added another tool to their microbial identification capabilities by acquiring the Bruker MALDI Biotyper®. This technology allows for rapid, cost-effective, accurate identification of thousands of microorganisms (including yeasts and filamentous fungi) using state-of-the-art technology. It can be used for environmental, product and/or research and development applications. Classification and identification are based on proteomic fingerprinting using high throughput mass-spectrometry. Turnaround time can be as little as one day.

This space will house the Bruker MALDI Biotyper® as well as traditional biochemical identification technology, and will allow for additional microbial identification capability in the future.
