Oxoid Tetracycline 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Oxoid™ Tetracycline 30 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs

Product Overview

Oxoid™ Tetracycline 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 determine bacterial susceptibility to Tetracycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline-class antibiotic.

Tetracycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacterial growth and replication. It is active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as certain atypical organisms. Oxoid Tetracycline discs help laboratories classify bacterial isolates as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant, supporting appropriate antimicrobial therapy decisions.

Key Features

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

• Disc Diffusion Compatibility: Suitable for routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing in microbiology laboratories.

• Convenient Cartridge System: Supplied in spring-loaded cartridges for easy and controlled dispensing.

• Moisture-Protected Packaging: Individually sealed cartridges with desiccant maintain disc stability and antibiotic potency.

• High Manufacturing Quality: Produced by Thermo Fisher Scientific following strict laboratory quality standards.

Applications

Oxoid Tetracycline 30 µg discs are widely used for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing in:

• Clinical microbiology laboratories

• Hospital diagnostic laboratories

• Pharmaceutical laboratories

• Research and academic institutions

• Public health laboratories

The disc diffusion method measures the zone of inhibition, enabling microbiologists to determine bacterial sensitivity to Tetracycline.
