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).

MTS™ Synergy Application System
for in-vitro combination of antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge for clinicians and clinical microbiologists, and the use of synergy testing is nowadays increasingly requested.

MTS-SAS combines the reliability of MIC Test Strip with patented tools to facilitate and standardize a critical assay such as the in-vitro combination of antibiotics.

MTS-SAS procedure is significantly faster than any other methods in antibiotic synergy tests (i.e. time-kill, checkerboard), does not require any additional training to those who are skilled in the usage of MIC Test Strip, reduces or eliminates the risks of procedure errors when compared to laborious and complicated traditional methods:

• standardized
• easy to use
• save time, materials, workload, resources

 

 

Individually packed, gamma-irradiated contact plates

The peelable blister pack fulfils the highest quality and protection standards for the plate.
The blister pack, fully automatically produced in a controlled environment, delivers the following benefits:

individual plate packaging;
clear package transparency;
drastically reduces the dehydration of culture media during the shelf life period;
up to 9 months shelf-life;
storage at ambient temperature for most of the items in its range;
reduces contamination risks in controlled environments;
available as gamma-irradiated, triple-enveloped plates, suitable for restricted areas such as isolators and clean rooms.
