2 In Microbiology, Speed and Accuracy Matters The MALDI Biotyper CA System A powerful technology for better results To help answer key challenges in Clinical Microbiology, Bruker has utilized its many years of experience to create the truly groundbreaking MALDI Biotyper CA System. With its combination of performance and utility, the MALDI Biotyper CA System is revolutionizing the way laboratories are performing microbial identifications for clinically significant gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria and yeast in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Accuracy comparable to Nucleic Acid Sequencing Much faster than traditional methods Cost effective Robust and easy to use A true benchtop system Identifying microorganisms by their molecular fingerprint The MALDI Biotyper CA System identifies microorganisms using MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight) mass spectrometry to measure a unique proteomic fingerprint of an organism. Specifically, the MALDI Biotyper CA System measures highly abundant proteins that are found in all microorganisms. The characteristic patterns of these highly abundant proteins are used to reliably and accurately identify a particular microorganism by matching the respective pattern with an extensive FDA-cleared library to determine the identity of the microorganism.

3 A Simple Procedure for a Sophisticated Platform Innovative design leads to enhanced performance and productivity The MALDI Biotyper CA System workflow has been designed to be as robust and easy to perform as possible. No previous experience with mass spectrometry is required. The fully traceable workflow has been streamlined and requires only a few simple steps to generate high quality microorganism identifications as shown below. Typically no more than an isolated single colony from a culture is required. The entire process needs only a few minutes to complete. Our dedicated microbiology software automates the process of acquiring the mass spectrum and performing the match against the extensive FDA cleared reference library. The result is very easy to interpret and presented as a traffic light color scheme. Transfer sample and add matrix Select an isolated colony Export result to AST/LIS MALDI Biotyper CA System Sample Workflow Add to MALDI-TOF project list Software automatically generates MALDI-TOF spectrum Final review by microbiologist Spectrum instantly matched against reference library to give identification

4 Easy to Use Software that is Dedicated to Microbiology In just a few steps, the simple-to-use software guides users through the set-up of samples for analysis. Automatic Calibration and Quality Control Check The MALDI Biotyper CA System microflex LT/SH mass spectrometer is automatically checked using US IVD BTS (Bacterial Test Standard) before each use. When the check is successful, the system automatically begins the measurement process. Clear identification results display at species level After the acquisition of the spectral data has been completed, a report is generated. The result for each sample shows the best match along with the respective matching score. Organism identification hints can also be viewed via a hyperlink.

5 Rigorous and Sophisticated Data Analysis Assures Accuracy Meaning of score values The spectrum of the unknown test organism, acquired through the MALDI Biotyper CA System Software, is electronically transformed into the peak list. Using a biostatistical algorithm, this peak list is compared to reference peak lists of organisms in the reference library and a log(score) value between 0.00 and 3.00 is calculated. The higher the log(score) value, the higher the degree of similarity to a given organism in the reference FDA-cleared library. A log(score) value of 2.00 can be considered an excellent probability for test organism identification at the species level. The main spectra concept: a reference library developed with the user in mind Score Values Reference Strain Reference library entries in the MALDI Biotyper CA System are stored as Main Spectra (MSP). These MSPs are based on multiple measurements of a single defined strain to ensure that the true biological variability of an organism has been captured. An unbiased sophisticated algorithm creates the MSP completely unsupervised by extracting information about peak position, intensity and frequency, while employing very effective denoising and patented mass corrections to the peak data. Unknowns are then compared to the MSP FDA-cleared library using a superior pattern-matching approach that is based on true statistical multi-variant analysis; and includes peak positions, intensities and frequencies ensuring the highest possible levels of accuracy and reproducibility across the complete range of microorganisms.

6 The Best Technology from the Experts in Mass Spectrometry As the leader in MALDI-TOF technology, it is of great importance to Bruker to design a robust, compact, high performance platform intended for extensive and routine use in the microbiology laboratory.the core of the MALDI Biotyper CA system is the cutting-edge microflex LT/SH MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. A true bench-top solution A low-noise operating system with low weight of approximately185 lbs and requiring less than 3 feet of counter space offers flexibility in meeting laboratory needs for compact systemsolutions. The MALDI Biotyper CA System only needs a 110 V electrical outlet which results in very minimal heat output. Resolution meets sensitivity Resolution and sensitivity of the spectrometer are tailored to the needs of microbiologists. For optimal results without the need for unnecessarily long and bulky instrument flight tubes. Accelerated data acquisition At approximately 200 identifications per hour, the system offers the highest throughput for MALDI-TOF microbiology testing. Highly reproducible results run to run The quick and simple Bacterial Test Standard quality check performed before each run provides the highest standard of reproducibility. Continuous operation Routine maintenance such as cleaning is reduced to a minimum and can be easily performed by the user.
