Sensititre™ SLOMYCO2 Susceptibility Testing Plate

Perform susceptibility testing for slow growing mycobacterium species (SGM) using broth microdilution, the recommended method for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. The Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre™ SLOMYCO2 plate offers scientists an updated (from SLOMYCO) plate format that aligns with recently updated guidelines for susceptibility testing of nontuberculous mycobacteria.

Gain MIC data for an extended range of relevant antibiotics. This updated format includes the addition of Clofazimine, an option now considered in multi-drug regimens associated with macrolide resistant SGM isolates.

Achieve reliable, consistent results for slowly growing non-tuberculosis mycobacteria isolates with Sensititre SLOMYCO₂ AST Plate.

• Broth microdiltion (BMD) is the recommended AST method for mycobacteria
• Test Mycobacterium spp. including slowly growing Mycobacterium avium group, M. kansasii group or M. marinum group.
• Designed with reference to the latest CLSI advice on drug options and accompanying breakpoints (where set)
• BMD is a recommended AST method that maintains accurate results even where other methodologies fail
• Extended shelf life, room-temperature storage eliminates inventory control concerns
• Individual packaging allows the laboratory to test one plate at a time with no waste
• Inclusive on-scale QC ranges provide immediate quality assurance of testing methodology
• Easy set-up procedures and results in approximately 14 days for slow-growing organisms
• Test 12 antimicrobials on a single AST plate for cost-effective results

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.

The Sensititre System utilizes gold standard-level MIC accuracy¹, providing superior quality and reproducibility for accurate results the first time. Broth microdilution is the reference method for AST, and in many cases ² the most reliable phenotypic method to guide therapeutic decisions.
