MAST Ampicillin 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Ampicillin 10 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to ampicillin using the standard agar disc diffusion method. Each disc is impregnated with 10 micrograms of ampicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the aminopenicillin group. When placed on an appropriately inoculated agar plate, the antibiotic diffuses into the medium, producing a zone of inhibition around the disc when the tested organism is susceptible. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic susceptibility discs support accurate, consistent and reproducible antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories. The product is supplied in five cartridges containing 50 discs each, providing a total of 250 discs per pack for routine laboratory testing.
