Microbial identification mass spectrometry system IVD

21 devices · GMDN 61643

Microbial identification mass spectrometry systems are diagnostic tools used in clinical laboratories to detect and identify bacteria and fungi from patient samples. These systems utilize mass spectrometry technology to analyze the molecular composition of microorganisms, providing rapid and accurate identification to assist in clinical decision-making.

These systems are typically comprised of a sample preparation unit, a mass spectrometer, and specialized software that compares spectral data against a reference database. They are designed to operate with partial automation to streamline the identification process while requiring some level of technician oversight.
