Sensititre AST

Plate and Disc Families

Accurate and dependable results in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) are crucial across various domains, including clinical, veterinary, and surveillance applications. The choice between AST plates or discs is contingent upon your preferred methodology—whether it be broth microdilution or disc diffusion. Considerations such as the level of automation, lab size, and intended use requirements (In Vitro Diagnostic or Research Use Only) further influence your selection. Additionally, incorporating quality control (QC) strains and testing accessories such as broths, media, reagents, and plastics is essential.

AST MIC Plates:

• Clinical: Determine true minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using the gold-standard AST system. Offers flexibility for labs of all sizes with manual, semi-automated, or automated reading options.
• Veterinary: Custom solutions for veterinary microbiology labs targeting Gram-negative and positive microbes in companion animals, bovine/porcine, avian, and equine species.
• Surveillance: Standard plates to comply with global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) surveillance programs targeting Gram-negative and positive bacteria and campylobacter.

AST Discs:

• Clinical: Easily perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing with the simplicity and flexibility of disc diffusion. Available in various compounds and concentrations meeting CLSI or EUCAST standards.
• Veterinary: Tailored solutions for veterinary microbiology labs targeting Gram-negative and positive microbes in various species.
• Surveillance: Comprehensive selection of standard discs for global AMR surveillance programs.

If our extensive catalog of standard AST plates doesn’t meet your requirements, consider designing your own custom AST Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) plate. Refer to the “Design your own custom AST MIC plate” section for details.
