Microorganism level similarity to reference sample [Score] in Isolate or Specimen by MS.MALDI-TOF
Active
Term Description
The level of similarity score indicates how similar the result from an unknown sample is to a reference sample. A higher score indicates that identification is possible at the species level, versus an intermediate score that allows identification at the genus level. Low scores do not allow identification of the organism from the unknown sample. The specific scores at which genus- and species-level identification is possible vary by microorganism. PMID: 28143403
Part Description
LP186074-3 MS.MALDI-TOF
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) is a type of mass spectrometry (MS). MALDI-TOF MS consists of three primary steps: 1) mixing the sample with an organic matrix, which provides a scaffolding and also protons for the ionization process; 2) applying a laser to the matrix, which absorbs energy from the laser and releases it into the sample, which causes the sample to desorb and form singly charged ions; and 3) using a flight tube to analyze the mass of the ions, ultimately resulting in a mass spectrum in which the mass-to-charge is plotted against signal intensity. MALDI-TOF is a soft ionization technique, meaning that molecules remain relatively intact during ionization. Because of this property, MALDI-TOF can be used for protein analysis; in contrast, older MS techniques cause extensive protein fragmentation and therefore cannot be used for this purpose. One application of MALDI-TOF is in clinical microbiology; compared to traditional methods, MALDI-TOF is faster and more accurate in identifying specific microorganisms. PMID: 23824373
