Autobio TX8

Autobio TX8

The Autobio Autof TX8 is a compact, next-generation MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry system designed for clinical microbial identification with an emphasis on speed, portability, and an intuitive user experience. It condenses high-performance hardware into a small footprint, bringing rapid species identification, a fast search algorithm, and a rich professional database to laboratories with limited space or moderate testing volumes. With touch and gesture-based controls, facial recognition login, and streamlined one-cable operation, the TX8 blends laboratory precision with modern smart-device ergonomics. Its optimized vacuum system, advanced flight tube, and integrated high-voltage design ensure reliable, stable performance while remaining easy to install, transport, and operate.
