Comprehensive Disc Diffusion Kit for β-Lactamase & Carbapenemase Detection in Enterobacterales
The MASTDISCS® Combi AMPC + ESBL & Carbapenemase Detection Set is a phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility test kit designed to detect AmpC β-lactamases, Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs), and Carbapenemase production in Enterobacterales. This 50-test set provides a comprehensive and EUCAST-compliant approach to β-lactamase resistance confirmation using a disc diffusion method.
The kit includes six distinct antibiotic cartridges, enabling differentiation between AmpC, ESBL, and carbapenem-resistant bacterial isolates, which is critical for infection control, epidemiological surveillance, and guiding antibiotic therapy.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ EUCAST-Validated for β-Lactamase & Carbapenemase Detection – Ensures reliable, standardized results
✅ Six Distinct Cartridges for Multi-Mechanism Resistance Analysis – Allows differentiation between AmpC, ESBL, and carbapenemase producers
✅ Optimized for Enterobacterales – Suitable for E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., and related species
✅ Ready-to-Use Disc Format – Facilitates quick and easy antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)
✅ Supports Antimicrobial Stewardship & Resistance Monitoring – Helps in effective patient management and infection control strategies
✅ Phenotypic Confirmation of Inducible AmpC Production – Identifies bacteria with inducible resistance mechanisms
✅ 50-Test Kit for Cost-Effective Laboratory Workflow – Maximizes efficiency and diagnostic accuracy

How to Use the MASTDISCS® Combi AMPC + ESBL & Carbapenemase Detection Set
1️⃣ Prepare a standardized bacterial inoculum (0.5 McFarland standard).
2️⃣ Inoculate a Mueller-Hinton agar plate evenly using a sterile swab.
3️⃣ Place all six detection discs onto the agar surface using sterile forceps.
4️⃣ Incubate at 35–37°C for 16–20 hours.
5️⃣ Measure the zone of inhibition around the discs.
6️⃣ Interpret results based on EUCAST breakpoints to determine the presence of ESBL, AmpC, or carbapenemase production.
