Comprehensive MIC-Based Drug Susceptibility Testing for Tuberculosis
The Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre™ MYCOTBI Plate is a cost-effective and comprehensive antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) solution designed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This ready-to-use, 96-well MIC plate includes 12 first-line and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in a single microbroth dilution format, enabling laboratories to confidently determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values critical for guiding effective TB therapy.
With an extended shelf life, room-temperature storage, and compatibility with both manual and digital reading platforms (e.g., Sensititre™ Vizion™), the MYCOTBI plate simplifies workflow while maintaining clinical reliability in TB drug resistance detection.
