VITEK^® MS Accessories/Reagents

The VITEK^® MS microbial identification system uses innovative MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometry technology to provide reliable, clear identification in just minutes. Maximize efficiency by using quality reagents and accessories made especially for use with it.

Ready-to-use reagents and complete reagent kits

The VITEK^® MS comes with ready-to-use, light stable matrix solution (CHCA) to save you time on reagent preparation. Formic Acid (FA) needed for yeast and fungi is already allocated in small vials ready for use on VITEK^® MS disposable target slides.

• Optimize workflow and overall laboratory efficiency
• No extra reagent preparation needed
• CHCA matrix and FA are placed directly on the target slide

Complete reagent kits are also available, containing reagents and disposables designed for the VITEK^® MS system.

• Kits include: VITEK^® MS CHCA, VITEK^® MS FA, VITEK^® MS disposable target slides
•  VITEK® MS Mycobacteria/Nocardia Kit  and VITEK^® MS Mould Kit
