Oxoid Ciprofloxacin 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Ciprofloxacin 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Ciprofloxacin 5 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 Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

Ciprofloxacin is highly effective against Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria and is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, and systemic infections. Oxoid Ciprofloxacin discs allow laboratories to determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate and timely clinical decision-making.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 5 µg of Ciprofloxacin for reliable and reproducible testing.

• Designed 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-Protected 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 Ciprofloxacin 5 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, identifying bacterial sensitivity and detecting resistant strains.
