Many scientist prefer to use the
new process of MALDI-TOF MS over similar diagnostic testing such as MLST,
electrophoresis or PCR due to its superiority of being more cost efficient,
faster, more accurate and being able to test a wider more range of
microorganisms, DNA, sugars, peptides, polymer, lipids and proteins and other
biological macromolecules. On the other hand it is quite hard to spot plates so
scientists may need to practice this. There is also a downside of MALDI
databases being in that there in their infancy, but the benefits definitely outweigh
its limitations; such as it can use a single colony requirement for instance a direct
from the blood culture. There is also a low exposure to risks due to sample
inactivation so it is safer to use in laboratories and for scientists.
