High-Performance MALDI-TOF Microbial Identification for Clinical Laboratories
Autobio’s MALDI-TOF MS systems deliver fast and accurate identification of bacteria, mycobacteria, and fungi. Designed for clinical microbiology laboratories, the instruments combine an advanced optical system with a robust, validated microbial database, enabling confident diagnostics in minutes.
These systems offer a scalable, cost-effective alternative to established MALDI-TOF platforms while maintaining high reliability and throughput performance.
MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry in Action: Video Demonstration
This video presents Autobio’s independently developed MALDI-TOF MS platform for microbial identification.
The Autof MS2000 system identifies up to 960 samples per hour and is supported by a comprehensive database of over 23.000 microbial strains, covering clinical bacteria, yeasts, fungi and mycobacteria.
Key Benefits of Autobio MALDI-TOF MS for Microbiology Labs

Fast and Scalable Microbial Identification with MALDI-TOF
Identify up to 960 samples per hour with high-frequency laser performance and optimized processing time.
Extensive Identification Database for Bacteria and Fungi
Covers over 5,000 species across 1,000 genera and more than 16,000 strain spectra, including a curated fungal identification library.
Advanced System Architecture with Long-Lifetime Laser and Vacuum Design
Oil-free vacuum system, solid-state laser (up to 7 billion shots), and stable optical path ensure long-term reliability and precision.
Optimized for Clinical and High-Throughput Microbiology Workflows
Flexible system configurations support both mid-sized labs and larger diagnostic platforms.
MALDI-TOF MS Technology Overview for Microbial Diagnostics
Autobio’s MALDI-TOF MS is based on Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization.
A co-crystallized matrix-sample surface is irradiated by a laser, transferring energy to biomolecules for ionization and subsequent mass spectrometric detection.
Core system components:
- High-resolution optical detection
- Stable, oil-free tandem vacuum system
- Durable solid-state laser
- Autof Acquirer software for rapid acquisition and result generation
