Oxoid Amoxycillin/Clavulanic Acid 30 µg( Amoxiclav) Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Amoxycillin/Clavulanic Acid 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Amoxycillin/Clavulanic Acid 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in clinical and research microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in the disc diffusion method to determine the sensitivity of bacterial isolates to the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid, a widely used antibiotic and β-lactamase inhibitor combination.

This combination improves the effectiveness of amoxycillin by inhibiting β-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. The discs allow laboratories to accurately classify microorganisms as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting appropriate antimicrobial therapy decisions.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Concentration: Each disc contains 30 µg Amoxycillin/Clavulanic Acid for reliable and consistent test results.

• Designed for Disc Diffusion AST: Suitable for routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing in microbiology laboratories.

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

• Moisture-Protected Packaging: Cartridges are individually sealed with desiccant to maintain stability and disc potency.

• Quality Manufacturing: Produced under strict quality standards by Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Applications

Oxoid Amoxycillin/Clavulanic Acid discs are widely used in microbiology laboratories to test bacterial susceptibility to this antibiotic combination. Typical applications include:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiological testing

The disc diffusion method also allows laboratories to visually assess important factors such as:

• Inoculum density

• Antibiotic activity

• Presence of resistant bacterial strains

• Interaction between antimicrobial agents
