Mast OPTOCHIN ID Cartridge Discs 

Mast OPTOCHIN ID Cartridge Discs

Product Code: D42C

Mast OPTOCHIN ID Cartridge Discs (D42C) are high-quality diagnostic discs used for the presumptive identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae in microbiology laboratories. These discs contain Optochin reagent, which helps differentiate Streptococcus pneumoniae (optochin-sensitive) from other alpha-hemolytic streptococci that are optochin-resistant.

The discs are commonly used with the disc diffusion method on blood agar plates, producing a clear zone of inhibition around the disc when Streptococcus pneumoniae is present.
