Introducing microbial identification method according to modern science

On March 15, in Can Tho, the General Department of Fisheries (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) organized the workshop "Identifying automatic microorganisms in industry by Maldi Tof mass spectrometry technology" to introduce the method. The method of identifying microorganisms according to modern science, reducing the waiting time from 5 days to 2 minutes.

According to Ms. Ramwong Krongkaew, Expert of BioMérieux Research Center, microbial identification is a very important step in determining the risk of microbial contamination in the production process, the causes of denaturation of products, as well as checking control production environment.

Microbial identification is an extremely important step in determining the risk of microbial contamination in the production process.

Importantly, but with the API manual identification technology and the current Vitek 2 Compact automatic identification, the waiting time for test results lasts from 3 to 5 days, making the intervention meaningless. big

In addition to limitations on waiting time too long, the current identification methods also give results with low accuracy, because the sample suction is done by hand and read the results with the naked eye.

Maldi Tof mass spectrometer technology overcomes most of the above disadvantages of current methods.

All stages from sample preparation to measuring and considering results are automatically controlled by machines.

Therefore, not only reducing labor, saving manpower, this new method also gives accurate results, fast time to produce results, easy preservation of results and rapid sharing of digital information. .

Mr. Vu Duyen Hai, Deputy Director of Science - Technology and International Cooperation Department (Directorate of Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) said that Maldi Tof mass spectrometry technology is a positive signal. the rapid development of technology, as well as the application of science and technology into production, especially large-scale production.

Reducing the waiting time for results from 5 days to 2 minutes brings great economic significance, helping experts promptly disguise distorted areas / products, quickly giving solutions to overcome, minimize damage to businesses.
