The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Blank Antimicrobial Susceptibility Discs are high-quality, unimpregnated 6 mm filter paper discs used for custom antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) via the disc diffusion method. These blank discs serve as a flexible platform for users to apply test compounds, antibiotics, plant extracts, or experimental agents to assess bacterial response in research, screening, or development workflows.
Each disc is housed in a shatterproof spring-loaded cartridge, designed for sterile, efficient application onto agar surfaces. Cartridges are individually sealed with a desiccant to maintain disc dryness and integrity, ensuring consistent performance and long-term storage stability (<2% moisture).
