BioProfiler - Microorganism Identification
based on MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry
Biological hazardous threats
Worldwide there is an evident danger
for the use of biological hazardous agents
as weapons of mass destruction. The
terrifying fact about bio hazards is the
possibility of its fast and uncontrollable
spread into the environment.
Therefore the reliable and fast identifica-
tion of microorganisms is a challenging
task in mobile or stationary labs.
Identification of unknown
microorganisms
BioProfiler microorganism identification
based on MALDI-TOF mass spectro-
metry is a software tool that allows the
reliable identification of unknown micro-
organisms from their protein fingerprint
in the MALDI-TOF mass spectrum by
Fields of application
Post event identification of pathogenic microorganisms in laboratories
Microbiology Research analysis
Screening of microorganisms at veterinary microbiology
Evaluation of harmful pathogens at mobile laboratories
comparing their individual peak lists to
the available database.
Based on a flexible database approach
the data obtained by MALDI-TOF mass
spectrometry from cultivated bacterial
colonies can be easily analysed.
