NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At the 115th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) announced a major version 3.0 expansion of the proven Mycobacteria Library for research use only on the MALDI Biotyper microbial mass spectrometry system.
The new Mycobacteria Library 3.0 now includes 149 different species for comprehensive species coverage, enabling significantly improved rapid and accurate identification of almost all described mycobacteria species. Intra-species diversity is covered by hundreds of analyzed strains. Twenty-four laboratories from nine countries from all over the world provided well-characterized clinical mycobacteria strains, completing an already comprehensive set of isolates from strain collections. A recently published research study has shown that out of 1,045 mycobacteria samples, 94% could be identified on the species level with high confidence, and another 4.5% could be identified with lower confidence [1], using Mycobacteria Library 3.0.
