Oxoid Cefuroxime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Cefuroxime 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Cefuroxime 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 Cefuroxime, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefuroxime is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and ear infections. Oxoid Cefuroxime discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical therapy decisions.

Key Features

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

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

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

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

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

Applications

Oxoid Cefuroxime 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.
