Bruker’s MALDI Biotyper receives AOAC International approvals

AOAC International has approved the Bruker MALDI Biotyper solution for two new Official Methods of Analysis (OMA) for the confirmation and identification of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. The two methods include some of the most common food pathogens, including Salmonella spp, Cronobacter spp, Listeria spp and Listeria monocytogenes, as well as the identification of other Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Confirmation and identification can be performed directly from several selective culture media that are widely used in food microbiology, or from any non-selective culture plates.
