MALDI Biotyper ID Results on EpiCenter …Details
• Top 10 MALDI ID results displayed read-only on EpiCenter “Test” tab.
• Top 1 MALDI ID above the Biotyper Probability Threshold automatically
reported as EpiCenter “MALDI Biotyper ID” result.
• If no ID is “+” or better then the organism ID is “Unspecified”.
• MALDI Quality indicators reported according to Biotyper thresholds.

MALDI Biotyper ID Results …Consistency Check
• If more than one ID is “+” or better, Biotyper evaluates the consistency:
 A: Species Consistency
 B: Genus Consistency
 C: No Consistency
• Consistency A or B yield the top 1 organism.
• Consistency C will yield an “Unspecified” organism.
