TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Multidimensional Mass Fingerprinting for Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (MultiScan-AR)

MultiScan-AR from Los Alamos National Laboratory turns a routine mass spectrometry run into a high-resolution portrait of a microbe and its defenses, giving care teams the identity of a pathogen and its antibiotic-resistance profile in minutes to hours rather than the better part of a day. The method works with instruments that clinics and field laboratories already operate, from benchtop analyzers to portable units, so its advanced scanning technique and analysis pipeline add new diagnostic power without demanding an entirely new hardware footprint. For any organization racing to slow the spread of drug-resistant infections, the payoff is faster, more confident treatment decisions and a…
