Bruker, being a global leader in MALDI-TOF technology, continuously invests in development and improvement of its instrument portfolio. As a result, this "sirius" member of the MALDI Biotyper family has been launched in the scope of broadening research capabilities, including resistance detection applications.

The Bruker MALDI Biotyper® sirius comprises the widely appreciated high capacity vacuum system of the MALDI Biotyper smart, as well as its fast 200 Hz smartbeam™ lifetime* laser. 

Developments in the electronics have expanded the system’s capabilities to allow for positive and negative ion detection.

• Lighter: only 75 kg / 165 lbs
• Faster target exchange
• LED strip to remotely observe system status
• Positive/negative ion mode 

All inherited, improved and new features of the MALDI Biotyper® sirius are held inside a true benchtop system of only 75 kg, allowing easy implementation in the lab. The system is fully compatible with existing MALDI Biotyper® software, libraries and consumables for microbial identification and beyond.

Daily laboratory life has been simplified by an LED strip on the front housing, conveniently allowing a visual system status check from a remote place in the lab.

* Lifetime meaning 7 years or 500 million shots, whichever comes first.
