Oxoid Neomycin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Neomycin 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Neomycin 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 Neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Neomycin is effective against a broad range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria and is commonly used in topical, oral, and local applications for treating infections. Oxoid Neomycin discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting accurate clinical treatment decisions.

Key Features

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

• Designed for Disc Diffusion AST: Suitable 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 with desiccant preserve disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Neomycin 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.
