MAST Kanamycin 30 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs – 250 Discs

MAST Kanamycin 30 µg Antibiotic Susceptibility Discs are diagnostic laboratory discs designed to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to kanamycin using the agar disc diffusion method. Each disc contains 30 micrograms of kanamycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, disrupting protein production and bacterial growth. Manufactured by MAST Group under the MASTDISCS range, these antibiotic-impregnated discs support antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories, diagnostic centres and research institutions. When placed on an appropriately inoculated agar medium, kanamycin diffuses into the surrounding agar and may produce a measurable zone of bacterial growth inhibition. Results should be interpreted according to validated testing procedures and applicable bacterial susceptibility criteria. Each pack contains five cartridges of 50 discs, providing a total of 250 discs for professional microbiology laboratory testing.
