Oxoid Cefotaxime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefotaxime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefotaxime 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 susceptibility to Cefotaxime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefotaxime is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many β-lactamase-producing strains. Oxoid Cefotaxime discs enable laboratories to determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, assisting in accurate clinical treatment decisions.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Cefotaxime 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 maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Cefotaxime 30 µg discs are widely 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 measure zones of inhibition, helping identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
