Paper strips* for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.) *International patent           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.     Liofilchem MIC Test Strips are made of special high quality paper impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of antibiotic, across 15 two-fold dilutions like those of a conventional MIC method.      On one side of the strip a MIC scale in g/mL is displayed and a code that identifies the antimicrobial agent. Liofilchem MIC Test Strips are available in a large variety of antibiotic configurations. Each configuration is available in blister packs of 10 strips, 30 strips and 100 strips. METHOD PRINCIPLE When the Liofilchem MIC Test Strip is applied onto an inoculated agar surface, the preformed exponential gradient of antimicrobial agent is transferred into the agar matrix. After 18 hours incubation or longer, a symmetrical inhibition ellipse centered along the strip is formed. The MIC is read directly from the scale in terms of g/mL, at the point where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects with the MIC Test Strip.

Reliable Susceptibility Testing

MIC TEST STRIPS Amikacin provide accurate determination of resistance or susceptibility to Amikacin in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive non-fastidious organisms. With a precise concentration range (0.016256 g/mL) and a simple, direct visual readout, they support clear, quantitative results in clinical microbiology laboratories for effective patient care decisions.


Simple Application and Clear Results

Each sterile plastic strip is printed with an Amikacin concentration gradient. After application to inoculated agar, results can be visually interpreted at the intersection of the inhibition ellipse. This direct approach ensures efficiency and ease of use, minimizing errors and facilitating robust quality control when following the manufacturers provided instructions.


Safety and Storage

The strips are for in vitro diagnostic use only and must be handled as biohazards, with disposal managed per laboratory safety protocols. For best performance and longevity, store the strips refrigerated (28C) and protect them from direct light. Each strip is odorless and non-poisonous when used strictly as intended in laboratory diagnostics.
