Oxoid Cefonicid 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefonicid 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefonicid 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 assess bacterial susceptibility to Cefonicid, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefonicid is effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. Oxoid Cefonicid discs allow laboratories to determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical decision-making.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Cefonicid for reliable and reproducible testing.

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

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

• Moisture-Controlled Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges with desiccant maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

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

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical and research laboratories

• Public health and epidemiology laboratories

The disc diffusion method allows microbiologists to observe zones of inhibition, helping identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
