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

Autobio MALDI-TOF MS Direct method workflow

​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
