Identification of Filamentous Fungi: An Evaluation of Three MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry Systems

Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Identification of filamentous fungi still poses a major challenge to laboratories. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) is a promising tool, since it offers low‐cost and fast results. Different MALDI‐TOF MS systems are available for routine laboratories.
