Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Doxycycline Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs, DO, 30µg

The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Doxycycline Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are used for determining the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to doxycycline using the standard agar diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) method. Each 6 mm paper disc is pre-impregnated with 30 µg of doxycycline, offering a standardized and reliable tool for clinical and research laboratories.

The discs are supplied in sealed, shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges that ensure precise handling and delivery. A desiccant within each foil-sealed cartridge maintains moisture levels below 2%, preserving disc potency and ensuring extended shelf life.

These discs help categorize microorganisms as resistant, intermediate, or susceptible, while also providing visual indicators of contamination, resistant mutants, inoculum quality, beta-lactamase activity, and antibiotic interactions (e.g., antagonism or synergy).
