The Autof ms1000 provides automated, high-speed and high-confidence identification and taxonomical laser-induced classification of bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and filamentous fungi based on proteomic fingerprinting. Numerous studies have demonstrated the higher accuracy, faster time-to-result, and lower cost provided by MALDI-TOF technology when compared to classical methods. Features: Faster time-to-result when compared to conventional methods and PCR6 Accuracy similar to nucleic acid sequencing technologies7 Cost effective8 Robust, intuitive software, supporting 21 CFR part 11 Installation Qualification/Operation Qualification-Performance Verification support LIMS/LIS connectivity and support Database of approximately 5,000 species created with over 15,000 strains Can identify 96 samples in less than 20 minutes hands-on time
