IR Biotyper®: Differentiating between pathogenic bacteria to protect animal health and control infectious diseases

The Bruker advantage

Fast, easy-to-apply and cost-effective typing methods are in high demand for routine infection control, outbreak management and vaccine development in the veterinary laboratory.

The IR Biotyper uses FT-IR spectroscopy to classify strains with high specificity and to compare isolates in the event of outbreaks. Results can then be visualized in the form of cluster analyses (dendrograms) or 3D scatter plots. In comparison with DNA sequencing, the IR Biotyper is highly versatile with one simple workflow that can be used in the routine laboratory to perform strain typing for a wide range of microbial species.
