Paper strips* for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.) The Liofilchem MIC Test Strips is a quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms to indicate appropriate patient treatment and for identifying resistance patterns. |
Broad Applications for Reliable MIC TestingThis testing panel is designed for use in laboratories, hospitals, and diagnostic centers. It is suitable for evaluating susceptibility in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative non-fastidious bacteria, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of microbiological applications.
Simple, Standardized Process for Accurate ResultsUsing a 96-well microtiter plate, the product utilizes the broth microdilution method, providing quantitative MIC results. The entire processfrom inoculation to resultfollows CLSI standards, ensuring reliability whether results are read visually or via a spectrophotometer at 600 nm.
Quality Materials and Sterile, Secure PackagingEach kit is assembled with sterile polystyrene microtiter plates and gamma sterilized for safety. The plates are individually packed in moisture-proof pouches, preserving product integrity and extending shelf life up to 12 months when stored properly.
FAQs of Amoxicillin in 0.016 256:
Q: How does the Amoxicillin Testing Panel determine susceptibility?
A: This panel uses the micro-broth dilution technique, exposing bacteria to varying concentrations of amoxicillin in a 96-well plate. The MIC is determined visually or spectrophotometrically at 600 nm after incubation, indicating the lowest antibiotic concentration that inhibits bacterial growth.
Q: What storage conditions are recommended for this product?
A: The kit should be kept in its original moisture-proof packaging, stored at a temperature between 2C to 8C, and protected from light. These conditions maintain product efficacy for 12 months from manufacturing.
Q: When should I use this testing panel?
A: Use this panel for in vitro diagnostic determination of amoxicillin MIC against non-fastidious Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. It is suitable for routine susceptibility testing in laboratories, hospitals, and diagnostic centers.
Q: Where is this product intended to be used?
A: It is intended for professional use in clinical laboratories, hospital microbiology departments, and diagnostic centers that perform antibiotic susceptibility testing.
Q: What is the process for performing the test?
A: After preparing your bacterial inoculum, dispense it into the wells containing predefined concentrations of amoxicillin. Incubate as specified, then determine the MIC visually or using a spectrophotometer at 600 nm, following included documentation.
Q: What are the benefits of using this panel?
A: Users benefit from accurate, standardized results adhering to CLSI standards, a robust 12-month shelf life, gamma sterilized components, and user-friendly packaging. The colorimetric indication allows for easier MIC interpretation, facilitating effective infection management.
Q: Is special equipment required for reading results?
A: Results can be interpreted visually, but for more precise measurements, a spectrophotometer set at 600 nm is recommended. The kit is suitable for manual processing, requiring only standard laboratory equipment.
