Mass spectrometry (MS) is a mature analytic technology in the research community that has only recently begun to make significant inroads into the clinical laboratory. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(MALDITOF MS) is a relatively recent addition to the MS arsenal and shows great promise for the clinical laboratory. This webinar will focus on the use of MALDI-TOF and other MS techniques in the identification of microorganisms.

In this webinar, participants will learn:

• Relevant principles of mass spectrometry.
• Advantages and disadvantages of available platforms.
• Uses of mass spectrometry in the clinical microbiology laboratory.
