Bruker Daltonics issues an invitation to discover how mass spectrometry is advancing the state of the art in microbe identification and research in clinical diagnostics
Electrospray ionisation (ESI) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation (Maldi) mass spectrometry are the basis of important new tools that allow the identification of microbes with little or no culture and with higher specificity.
These same tools with different sample preparation solutions are gaining popularity in biomarker research and discovery, as well as research in clinical diagnostics.
Join Bruker's free educational seminars to discover these new applications.
