Autof TX8 MALDI – TOF
Chirus is proud to introduce the TX8 Maldi-ToF system, at just 1 meter in height the next-generation Automated Mass Spectrometry Microbial Identification System is designed to deliver speed, accuracy, and intelligent performance in one compact solution Combining advanced MALDI-TOF technology with intuitive touch-screen control, the TX8 transforms microbial identification into a seamless, high-efficiency process.
Powered by a unique high-performance laser system for consistent ion excitation and extended lifespan, the TX8 ensures exceptional sensitivity and resolution. Its AIEF and TAA technologies enhance analytical performance while maintaining a compact, lightweight design suitable for any laboratory environment.
The system features an extensive identification library covering 5,286 species and 18,934 strains across clinical, industrial, aquatic, and intestinal fields. With an E-MT hash matching algorithm delivering database searches in just 0.1 seconds, results are fast, reliable, and precise.
Smart capabilities including facial recognition login, audit tracking, self-diagnostic safety protection, and ASTM connectivity to LIMS systems make the TX8 a powerful, future-ready platform .
