Using AnagnosTec's new Run-it-Box

a kit that contains all the required consumables and provides access to full SARAMIS functionality

...sample preparation can be performed and microorganisms identified by any laboratory. Microbial samples transferred onto MALDI targets are sent by courier to an AnagnosTec partner laboratory ("Star") for measurement, during which the MALDI instrument is directly connected, via a secure VPN internet connection, with the sender's onsite SARAMIS installation. Box users are able to call upon the complete range of functions that the SARAMIS solutions offer as well as on the unparalleled database of SuperSpectra and ReferenceSpectra.

"For laboratories with a low or medium throughput of samples, MALDI-TOF MS based identification of microorganisms has, to date, not been viable. Our decentralized network system changes that completely," says Stefan Sauermann, CEO of AnagnosTec. "Laboratories everywhere are now able to benefit from this ground-breaking identification technique, from AnagnosTec's leading database of spectra, its know-how and outstanding service quality."
