In the clinical microbiology laboratory, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry is now a commonly used method for the quick and precise identification of bacteria, mycobacteria, and certain fungal infections.
Little attempts have been made thus far to use the method in clinical parasitology, especially in terms of helminth detection. comprehensively examined the research studies on MALDI-TOF MS as a diagnostic method for helminths of medical and veterinary value in the scientific literature.
Since the beginning, freely accessible electronic databases have been searched without regard to the publication year or language. Based on the measurement of the mass of molecules, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry is a diagnostic tool for the identification and characterization of microorganisms.
Although numerous methods in the field of virology have been studied, this technology is currently mostly used in clinical laboratories for bacterial identification. By incorporating this technique into clinical virology, it will become easier to diagnose viral infections, identify mutations and variations in these microorganisms, and identify antiviral resistance.
This chapter focuses on the most important contemporary uses of MALDI-TOF MS techniques in clinical virology, demonstrating the cutting-edge nature of this innovative new technology.
The Global MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The new mass spectrometer MALDI-8030 launched by Shimadzu has been made available. Shimadzu’s family of benchtop matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers, which is the industry standard, now includes the versatile, space-saving, simple-to-use, high-performance MALDI-8030.
Versatility: The new MALDI-8030 leverages the same cutting-edge and award-winning elegant instrument design as the top-of-the-class MALDI-8020 to provide a compact footprint while still attaining performance specifications comparable to larger, more expensive MALDI-TOF devices.
Users who want to examine substances in both positive and negative ion mode have more versatility thanks to the addition of a dual-polarity ion source. User-centric concept: The MALDI-8030 is astonishingly simple to operate because it was designed with the user in mind. The built-in MALDI Solutions software is simple to use and offers both expert and beginner users equal support.
