RPMI Agar
for antifungal susceptibility testing
RPMI Agar (RPMI1640, MOPS, L-glutamine, 2% Glucose) is intended for the AFST (antifungal susceptibility testing) and is recommended for usage with Antifungal MTS™ (MIC Test Strip).
Pick 4-5 colonies from 24-hours old cultures and suspend them in saline solution or sterile water in order to obtain a 0.5 McFarland cell density.
Introduce a sterile swab into the suspension and inoculate the RPMI Agar plate.
Allow the plate to dry, and position the antifungal strip onto the agar surface with the maximum concentration nearest the periphery of the plate.
Incubate at 35 °C for 24-48 hours.
Read the M.I.C. value where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the strip (the intersection between two scale segments should be round up to the higher value).
