•  Meets EUCAST and CLSI recommended breakpoints
• Produces quality results in line with the rest of the Oxoid disc portfolio as demonstrated over 3 EUCAST disc quality studies
• Easy-to-use: shatterproof spring-loaded cartridges, easy-to-read labelling, and end-of-cartridge indicators.
• Long-term stability ensured: each cartridge is individually sealed with a desiccant to maintain a moisture level of <2%.
• Accurate and reproducible: manufactured under stringent quality standards including BS EN ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003 and FDA 21 CFR part 820, with comprehensive quality control testing
• Trusted supplier: over 35 years of experience in disc development and manufacture

Disc diffusion not only categorizes resistant, intermediate, and sensitive organisms through qualitative results but also provides a visual indication of the following:

• Inoculum level
• Presence of contamination
• Resistant mutants
• Beta-lactamase activity
• Antagonism and synergy between antibiotics

Thermo Fisher Scientific is a leader in providing AST solutions that help in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, offering high performance automated and manual test options and one of the largest, most up-to-date selections of antimicrobials for susceptibility testing.
