Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Amoxicillin AML Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs

Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Amoxycillin Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are designed for in vitro diagnostic use in manual antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). These discs are intended to determine the susceptibility of microorganisms to amoxycillin, using standard agar diffusion methods such as the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique.

Each disc contains a defined concentration of amoxycillin (AML) and is housed in a shatterproof, spring-loaded cartridge for easy, precise dispensing. The cartridges are individually sealed with desiccant to maintain a moisture content below 2%, ensuring long-term stability and consistent performance.

Key Features

• Available in multiple concentrations: 2 µg, 10 µg, and 25 µg
• Cartridge format for user-friendly disc dispensing
• Desiccant-sealed for moisture control and product stability
• Compliant with EUCAST and DIN AST standards
• Helps detect:
  • Antimicrobial resistance patterns
  • Beta-lactamase activity
  • Synergistic or antagonistic antibiotic interactions
  • Inoculum anomalies or contamination

Applications

• Manual AST workflows using agar diffusion (Kirby-Bauer)
• Microbial resistance profiling in clinical microbiology
• Beta-lactam sensitivity testing
• Determining susceptibility of pathogens to amoxycillin
• Antibiotic selection guidance in diagnostic laboratories

Intended Use Statement

For in vitro diagnostic use only.

Oxoid™ Amoxycillin AST Discs are used with pure agar-grown bacterial cultures in manual AST procedures to determine potential clinical efficacy of amoxycillin against specific pathogens. Designed for professional use in regulated laboratories.
