The Liofilchem® Methicillin (MET) 5 µg Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for in vitro determination of bacterial susceptibility to methicillin using the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method.
These high-quality antibiotic discs are manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards and provide precise, reproducible results in accordance with EUCAST and CLSI guidelines.
Methicillin susceptibility testing is essential for detecting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other β-lactam–resistant strains, supporting both clinical diagnostics and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring programs.
Key Features
- Standardized potency: Each disc contains 5 µg of methicillin, ensuring consistent antibiotic diffusion.
- Quality assured: Produced under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified processes for medical device manufacturing.
- Compatibility: Suitable for EUCAST and CLSI disc diffusion testing protocols.
- Reliable performance: Provides accurate inhibition zone measurements for susceptibility and resistance interpretation.
- Convenient packaging options: Available in both cartridge and canister formats to suit various laboratory throughput needs.
- Traceability: Each lot is traceable with batch documentation and QC certificates available on request.
