Oxoid Chloramphenicol 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Chloramphenicol 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Chloramphenicol 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are developed 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 Chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic.

Chloramphenicol is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including strains responsible for typhoid, meningitis, and respiratory infections. Oxoid Chloramphenicol discs help laboratories determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting informed treatment decisions.

Key Features

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

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

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

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

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

Applications

Oxoid Chloramphenicol 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, determining bacterial sensitivity and detecting resistant strains.
