Wet deposition on MALDI target plate

Improve your MALDI
identification scores

by applying unique process of Wet Deposition (Patent pending)

  • Giving superior ID scores over standard Direct Dry Deposition or even Semi-Extraction process
  • Decreasing the number of unidentified bacterial samples on MALDI
  • Using allways the same, best preparation process for all types of microbes including yeast and fungi

Save on consumables

by using long life colony picking tips and liquid deposition needles

  • No need of disposable Eppendorf pipeting tips while using long life liquid deposition needles with active selfcleaning
  • No need of disposable picking tips while using adaptable geometry Platinum tips with thermal sterilization

Bacteria isolation for MALDI TOF identification

Choose all interesting colonies for MALDI identification

and still get your ID results faster

  • No additional time, consumable costs and manual effort while choosing more bacterial colonies from the same Petri dish
  • Perfect tool for subclassification studies of bacterial strains, nosocomial infections ID and epidemiological studies using MALDI TOF
  • Allowing study of mixed cultures on Petri dish simply by zooming and selecting them on LCD screen
  • Lower number of MALDI remeasurements of unidentified colonies
Automated colony picking

Track and control preparation process and completely eliminate manual errors

while fully benefiting from direct connection to MALDI and laboratory information systems (LIS/LIMS)

  • Comfortable work on the PC with big LCD screen using high resolution scan of Petri dish
  • Select all interesting colonies manually on the LCD screen, or let the SW do it automatically (feature in near future)
  • Validate your MALDI ID results using the saved High-Res scan of the Petri dish by experienced microbiologist
  • Import patient data from LIS/LIMS and export the MALDI ID results into it

During our 6 months extensive testing we compared MALDI COLONYST with standard manual deposition methods. Apart from significant reduction of manual work and consumable costs, MALDI COLONYST showed also superior identification scores and lower ID error rates on MALDI-TOF MS identification.

We believe that this machine, by using unique Wet Deposition process, is an excellent tool allowing standardization of preparation process prior to MALDI-TOF identification, and will surely lead to automation of microbiological laboratories.

Robotic feeding with Petri dishes

Be prepared for full robotization and new SW modules

  • Two Bruker MALDI Biotyper MSP target plates (2x96 positions) and one Petri dish actually supported with manual exchange
  • COLONYST FEEDER will allow robotic feeding with Petri dishes from carusel of 50 - 200 Petri dishes
  • Colony Counting SW and AST Zone Reading SW modules will be included for additional functionality of the system
  • Deposition on VITEK MS MALDI target format, microtiter plate or reinoculation will be supported
