Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Ciprofloxacin Antimicrobial Susceptibility disc, CIP, 5µg

Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Ciprofloxacin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are high-quality, precision-manufactured discs for use in manual Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) via the disk diffusion method. These discs contain specific concentrations of ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and are designed for reliable assessment of bacterial resistance profiles.

Each disc is housed in a spring-loaded, shatterproof cartridge, sealed with desiccant to maintain optimal moisture levels and ensure long-term performance stability. The discs enable rapid and accurate classification of bacterial isolates as sensitive, intermediate, or resistant, based on inhibition zone measurements.
