Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Doripenem Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are high-quality in vitro diagnostic tools designed for manual antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using the disc diffusion method. Each 6 mm disc is impregnated with 10 µg of doripenem—a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic used in treating severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
These discs are housed in spring-loaded, shatterproof cartridges for ease of dispensing, while individual desiccant-sealed foil blister packs preserve stability and maintain moisture levels below 2%.
Doripenem discs are ideal for determining the susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacterales, and other clinically significant pathogens, especially in critical care and antimicrobial resistance surveillance contexts.
