Evaluation of the identification performance of MALDI-TOF MS Smart MS 5020 from Zhuhai DL Biotech.

ABSTRACT: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a reliable technique, is rapid and precise in the identification of pathogens, and is essential in clinical microbiology laboratories. The aim of this project is to evaluate the identification performance of the MALDI-TOF MS Smart MS 5020 system (Zhuhai DL Biotech) by comparing the identification results with those of the MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper Microflex LT system (Bruker Daltonics). A total of 612 clinical isolates were analyzed in parallel: 494 routine species and 118 species not commonly isolated in routine practice, previously isolated and frozen in our hospital's strain collection. This collection included gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, anaerobes, and fungi. Concordance at ge
