Oxoid Cefoperazone 75 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefoperazone 75 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefoperazone 75 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 determine bacterial susceptibility to Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefoperazone is highly effective against a broad range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains. Oxoid Cefoperazone discs enable laboratories to accurately classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting proper clinical treatment decisions.

Key Features

• Precise Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 75 µg of Cefoperazone for reliable and reproducible testing.

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

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

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

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

Applications

Oxoid Cefoperazone 75 µg discs are commonly used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing 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, determining bacterial susceptibility and identifying resistant strains.
