Description

Liofilchem™ MTS™ (MIC Test Strips), Cefiderocol FDC are gradient tests used for quantitatively determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms to indicate appropriate patient treatment and for identifying resistance patterns. (Research Use Only.)

  • Precise, Quantitative Values:
    • Generates quantitative MIC values needed to guide therapy selection for the individual patient choice, dose, and regimen
    • Precise MIC value in μg/mL is read directly from test strip
    • MIC values have an inherent precision of 1/2 dilution due to continuous gradient of test strip
  • Ready to Use, Easy to Learn:
    • As easy as setting up a disc test, a procedure familiar to all microbiology laboratories
    • No preparation or dilution of antimicrobial agent required, simply place on an inoculated agar plate and incubate
    • Leftover MTS™ from an opened package must be stored at 2°C to 8°C in an airtight tube containing desiccant for no more than 7 days
  • Solid Medium, Inoculum Tolerant, Macro Method:
    • Can be used in a macro format with heavier inoculum and a richer media to maximize the detection of low-level and hetero-resistance
    • Growth of organisms on agar better mimics in vitro conditions than liquid culture and enables visualization of heteroresistant variants in a population and detection of mixed cultures and contamination
    • Flexible media choice, provided that the medium supports growth of the organism and is defined and standardized for susceptibility testing
    • Robust gradient techniques like MTS™ are relatively tolerant to daily laboratory variations
  • Rapid, Versatile, and Efficient:
    • Full range of MIC testing of 6 agents on a large plate takes no more than 5 minutes
    • Can be used for anaerobes, and other fastidious or slow growing organisms; incubation can vary from 1 to 5 days
    • MIC gradient spans across 15 dilutions fulfilling pharmacokinetic needs, varying susceptibility of organisms, and different MIC breakpoints used in different countries as recommended by various reference or expert groups
  • Direct Specimen Testing:
    • Can be used to directly test positive blood cultures, CSF and sputum from cystic fibrosis patients and bronchial aspirates from VAP patients
  • MIC Equivalent to Reference Values:
    • Scientific references and clinical testing for device approval has validated that MTS™ MIC values are equivalent to reference values from the CLSI agar and broth microdilution methods
  • Synergy Testing:
    • MTS™ can be crossed for evaluating a critical assay such as the in vitro combination of antibiotics
    • MTS™ Synergy Applicator System (US Patent) is a device for standardizing the in vitro synergy testing of two antibiotics
Note: Research use only.

Non-hazardous according to current legislation but falls within the specific field of application where a safety data sheet must be supplied because they can cause phenomena of sensitisation in sensitive subjects if they come into contact with the skin.
