FAQs

What are Ampicillin 10 mcg Discs used for?

Ampicillin 10 mcg Discs are used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing through disc diffusion methods. They allow students and laboratory personnel to evaluate bacterial response to ampicillin by observing zones of inhibition, supporting instruction and analysis of antimicrobial resistance patterns in controlled microbiology environments.

Are these discs compliant with recognized testing standards?

Yes, Ampicillin 10 mcg Discs are compliant with CLSI and EUCAST standards, making them suitable for academic and training laboratory environments. This compliance supports standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures and helps ensure consistent, reliable interpretation of inhibition zone results.

How are the discs packaged to maintain stability?

The discs are supplied in a moisture-resistant cartridge with a reclosable cap and integrated desiccant control to maintain moisture levels below two percent. This packaging helps preserve disc potency and extend shelf life by protecting the antibiotic from environmental humidity.

What is the size and concentration of each disc?

Each disc contains 10 micrograms of ampicillin and measures approximately one quarter inch in diameter. The standardized concentration supports reproducible disc diffusion testing and allows comparison of inhibition zones according to established antimicrobial susceptibility guidelines.

Are these discs suitable for classroom use?

Yes, Ampicillin 10 mcg Discs are designed for microbiology education and training environments. Clearly marked cartridges and controlled packaging support easy handling during demonstrations, making them appropriate for teaching antimicrobial susceptibility testing and resistance concepts.
