| Product Type | Antibiotic Disc |
| Product Brand | Thermo Fisher Scientific™, Oxoid |
| Product Grade | Microbiology grade |
Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Azithromycin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for manual disc diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) testing to determine the susceptibility of microorganisms to azithromycin. Each disc contains 15 µg of azithromycin and complies with CLSI, EUCAST, BSAC, DIN, and SFM guidelines for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The discs provide semi-quantitative results through clear inhibition zones and support visual assessment of inoculum level, resistance patterns, beta-lactamase activity, and contamination.
These shatterproof, spring-loaded cartridges ensure ease of dispensing, while individually sealed cartridges with desiccants maintain a moisture level of <2% for long-term stability.
Key Features
- 15 µg azithromycin per disc
- Compliant with international AST standards (CLSI, EUCAST, BSAC, DIN, SFM)
- Supplied in easy-to-load cartridges with end-of-cartridge indicators
- Visual detection of resistance mechanisms and contamination
- Individually sealed cartridges with desiccants for moisture control
- Compatible with semi-quantitative agar diffusion testing methods
- Designed for use in diagnostic workflows by trained professionals
