Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Oxytetracycline Antimicrobial Susceptibility Disks are high-quality, standardized paper discs impregnated with 30 µg of oxytetracycline, intended for manual antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) via the disc diffusion method. Oxytetracycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, is used extensively in veterinary medicine to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
These discs are essential tools for veterinary diagnostic laboratories to assess the susceptibility of bacterial isolates and guide appropriate antimicrobial treatment. Each disc is dispensed via a spring-loaded, shatterproof cartridge, and individually sealed with a desiccant to ensure <2% moisture content for reliable, long-term performance.
Key Features
