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

​The VITEK® MS Reagent kits contain reagents and disposables designed for use with the VITEK® MS system.

  • VITEK® MS Blood Culture Kit (RUO): Used for rapid and reliable

    Show in media library: 

    identification of microorganisms from a blood stream infection that
    have the potential to cause sepsis. This research use only kit
    reduces the time-to-result by up to 24 hours compared to
    conventional methods by identifying microorganism directly from a
    positive blood culture.
     
  •  NEW  Mycobacterium/Nocardia and Mould Reagent Kits
    The VITEK®MS Mycobacterium/ Nocardia and Mould reagent kits contain all reagents
    necessary for simple inactivation and extraction for identification of these organisms on the
    VITEK    ®MS. A patented mould protocol and patent pending mycobacteria protocol from solid
    medium allows easy, quick and safe sample preparation.

​

Disposable target slides

Each VITEK® MS disposable target slide has a unique barcode to ensure clear traceability, flexibility and greater confidence with no manual

data entry.

  • No cleaning required: eliminates possible contamination that could lead to erroneous results or safety issues
  • Each slide comes with three sections of 16 (48 samples) enabling the flexibility of small or large sample run sizes
  • Up to 4 target slides (192 samples) can be run on the instrument at one time
