Detailed explanation-1: -The main advantage of MALDI-TOF MS technology over the others was the much shorter analysis time which lasted only a few hours rather than days or a whole week.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the major advantages of using MALDI-TOF technology for bacterial identification is the time-to-result, which is reduced from 24 to 48 h to less than an hour.
Detailed explanation-3: -Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a rapid, reliable, and high-throughput diagnostic tool for the identification of microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) is a powerful analytical mass spectrometry technique that has generated numerous diagnostic and clinical applications, especially for the identification of microorganisms for medical diagnosis.
