Oxoid Cefamandole 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefamandole  30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefamandole  30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in clinical, hospital, and research microbiology laboratories. These discs are used in the disc diffusion method to evaluate bacterial sensitivity to Cefamandole , a combination antibiotic containing Cefamandole (a cephalosporin) and a β-lactamase inhibitor.

Cefamandole MA is effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including β-lactamase-producing strains. These discs allow laboratories to determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate antimicrobial therapy selection.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Cefamandole  for reliable susceptibility testing.

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

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

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

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

Applications

Oxoid Cefamandole  30 µg discs are commonly used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiological laboratories

The disc diffusion test allows laboratories to measure zones of inhibition around the disc, helping to identify bacterial sensitivity and resistant strains.
