| Product Grade | Microbiology grade |
The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Nitrofurantoin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for manual in vitro testing of bacterial susceptibility to nitrofurantoin using the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). These discs provide reliable zone-based results to determine whether bacterial isolates are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic commonly used for urinary tract infections.
Each 6 mm paper disc is impregnated with a defined quantity of nitrofurantoin and supplied in a spring-loaded, shatterproof cartridge for efficient dispensing. Each cartridge is individually sealed with a desiccant to maintain a moisture level of less than 2%, ensuring extended shelf life and stability.
These discs also allow for visual interpretation of inoculum quality, resistant mutants, contamination, and synergistic or antagonistic effects between antibiotics.
