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.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Complete TB Drug Panel
Contains 12 antimicrobials used in both first-line and second-line tuberculosis treatment
Ideal for identifying multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR-TB) strains -
Accurate MIC-Based Methodology
Based on the broth microdilution (BMD) gold standard for AST
Delivers precise, reproducible MIC values for each drug tested -
Extended Shelf Life & Easy Storage
18–24 months shelf life
Room-temperature storage eliminates the need for cold chain logistics -
Flexible Reading Options
Can be read manually or using the Sensititre™ Vizion™ Digital MIC Viewing System
Compatible with SWIN™ Software for result recording, analysis, and LIS connectivity -
Quality Control Assurance
Includes on-scale QC ranges for immediate validation of plate and test performance -
Efficient, Low-Waste Design
Individually packaged plates allow one plate per test, reducing waste and cost
Applications
- Clinical Microbiology Labs: Perform MIC testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates
- Public Health Labs: Surveillance of MDR-TB and XDR-TB prevalence
- Reference Laboratories: Confirmatory susceptibility testing
- TB Treatment Programs: Support for regimen selection and drug resistance management
