Oxoid Doxycycline 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Doxycycline 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Doxycycline 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 sensitivity to Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic.

Doxycycline is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens such as Chlamydia, Rickettsia, and Mycoplasma. Oxoid Doxycycline discs help laboratories determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical treatment decisions for infections including respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and vector-borne diseases.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 30 µg of Doxycycline 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 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 standards.

Applications

Oxoid Doxycycline 30 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 measure zones of inhibition, helping identify bacterial sensitivity and detect resistant strains.
