Oxoid Ofloxacin 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Ofloxacin 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Ofloxacin 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 evaluate bacterial susceptibility to Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

Ofloxacin is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal pathogens. Oxoid Ofloxacin discs allow laboratories to classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting precise clinical treatment for infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and systemic infections.

Key Features

• Standardized Antibiotic Potency: Each disc contains 5 µg of Ofloxacin 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 maintain disc stability and potency.

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

Applications

Oxoid Ofloxacin 5 µg discs are 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.
