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.

Streamlined Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

Our MIC test strips enable precise antifungal susceptibility assessments for a broad range of clinically important fungi. Each strip features a defined gradient of an antifungal drug, promoting reproducible results on agar media. Simply place the strip on an inoculated agar plate, incubate as recommended, and visually read or digitally scan the MIC value where the inhibition ellipse meets the scale.

Versatile Pack Sizes and Compatibility

Available in user-friendly packs of 10, 30, or 100 strips, each strip is individually sealed to preserve integrity. The product is optimized for yeast and filamentous fungi, including common species like Candida and Aspergillus, making it suitable for diverse diagnostic laboratory settings.

Reliable Quality and Simple Storage

Each batch is rigorously tested with control strains to ensure consistent quality. Store strips at 2C to 8C, shielded from light and moisture, to maintain a shelf life of up to two years. These features support dependable performance in daily laboratory routines.

FAQs of MIC TEST STRIPS ANTI FUNGAL susceptibility testing, FLUCONAZOL,VORICONAZOL,CASPOFUNZIN,AMPHOTERICIN,ITRACONAZOL,:

Q: How should I use the MIC Test Strips for antifungal susceptibility testing?

A: After inoculating an agar plate with the fungal isolate (using, for example, Mueller-Hinton agar with glucose and methylene blue), place a MIC test strip onto the agar surface. Incubate the plate at 35-37C for 24-48 hours, depending on the species. The MIC is read at the point where the growth inhibition ellipse intersects the numerical scale on the strip.

Q: What organisms can be tested with these strips?

A: The MIC Test Strips are compatible with Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., and other fungi that are clinically relevant. They are validated for use with both yeast and filamentous fungal isolates.

Q: Which antifungal agents are included in the test strips?

A: Each pack contains strips for Fluconazole, Voriconazole, Caspofungin, Amphotericin B, and Itraconazole. These agents are included at precise gradient concentrations to facilitate accurate MIC determination.

Q: When and why should I use MIC Test Strips in my laboratory?

A: Use MIC Test Strips when you need to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of commonly used antifungal drugs for clinical isolates. This helps guide effective antifungal therapy by providing direct, standardized, and reproducible results.

Q: Where are these strips best applied?

A: They are ideally suited for use in clinical microbiology and diagnostic laboratories involved in routine susceptibility testing, research, or pharmaceutical quality control procedures.

Q: What is the benefit of using visually interpreted MIC Test Strips?

A: These strips enable rapid and reliable determination of fungal susceptibility, helping clinicians tailor antifungal therapy. The direct on-agar readout reduces processing times compared to some alternative methods.

Q: How should used strips be disposed of after testing?

A: After use, MIC Test Strips must be discarded as biohazardous waste following laboratory or institutional guidelines to ensure safe and compliant disposal.
