Oxoid Amikacin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Amikacin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Amikacin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are high-quality diagnostic discs designed for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) in clinical and microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in disc diffusion testing methods to determine the susceptibility of microorganisms to the antibiotic amikacin.

This product helps laboratories classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting clinicians in selecting effective antimicrobial therapy. Oxoid antimicrobial susceptibility discs are widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories, hospitals, research institutions, and diagnostic centers.

Key Features

• Reliable AST Testing: Designed for use in standard disc diffusion antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods.

• Accurate Antibiotic Concentration: Each disc contains 30 µg of Amikacin for consistent and reproducible results.

• Convenient Cartridge System: Supplied in shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges for easy and safe dispensing.

• Moisture-Controlled Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges include a desiccant to maintain optimal moisture levels and product stability.

• Compliance with Global Standards: Suitable for use according to internationally recognized AST guidelines such as CLSI, EUCAST, DIN, BSAC, and SFM.

Applications

Oxoid Amikacin 30 µg discs are used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing to evaluate bacterial sensitivity to amikacin. They are commonly used in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiology laboratories

The disc diffusion method also provides visual indicators such as:

• Bacterial inoculum density

• Contamination detection

• Resistant mutant identification

• Antibiotic antagonism or synergy between drugs
