Oxoid™ Ampicillin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Disks Pk 250

Oxoid™ Ampicillin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs (CT0003B)
Ensure accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Ampicillin discs. Designed for manual AST (Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) using the disc diffusion method, these high-quality discs help determine the susceptibility of microorganisms to Ampicillin.

Key Features:

• Concentration: 10 μg Ampicillin per disc
• Format: 5 cartridges per pack of 250, 50 discs per cartridge
• Compliance: Meets CLSI, DIN, BSAC, EUCAST, and SFM guidelines
• Ease of Use: Shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges, clear labeling, and end-of-cartridge indicators
• Long-Term Stability: Individually sealed cartridges with desiccant (<2% moisture)
• Applications: For in vitro diagnostic use in semi-quantitative agar diffusion tests to guide treatment decisions

Benefits:

• Provides reliable categorization of resistant, intermediate, and sensitive organisms
• Visual indicators for inoculum level, contamination, resistant mutants, beta-lactamase activity, and antibiotic interactions
• Compatible with Oxoid AST media for optimal performance

Intended Use:
Professional use only. Designed for diagnostic workflows to determine susceptibility of clinically relevant microorganisms to Ampicillin.
