Q Laboratories, Inc. has expanded its microbial identification capabilities with the acquisition the Bruker MALDI Biotyper. According to the company, this technology allows for rapid, cost-effective, accurate identification of thousands of microorganisms (including yeasts and filamentous fungi). It can be used for environmental, product and/or research and development applications. Classification and identification are based on proteomic fingerprinting using high throughput mass-spectrometry. Turnaround time can be as little as one day, according to the company.
The company recently opened a new dedicated microbial identification laboratory as part of our ongoing facility expansion. This space will house the Bruker MALDI Biotyper as well as traditional biochemical identification technology, and will allow for additional microbial identification capability in the future.
Q Laboratories provides microbiology and analytical chemistry laboratory services, including: Method Development and Validation, Pathogen Screening, Indicator Organism Enumeration, Nutritional Analysis, Raw Material Qualification, Challenge Studies and Shelf Life/Stability Testing.
