LP14808-7   Candida sp
Systemic candidiasis is an invasive yeast infection caused primarily by C. albicans, although other Candida species can also be the cause. It leads to septicemia, endocarditis, meningitis, and rarely as osteomyelitis. Superficial candidiasis is common, but generally only immunocompromised patients have systemic candidiasis. Because Candida species are common contaminants, diagnosis is difficult and requires the elimination of other possible causes. Source: Regenstrief Institute

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.
