Paper strips* for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.); The Liofilchem® MIC Test Strips is a quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms to indicate appropriate patient treatment and for identifying resistance patterns. Liofilchem® MIC Test Strips are made of special high quality paper impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of antibiotic, across 15 two-fold dilutions like those of a conventional MIC method. On one side of the strip a MIC scale in µg/mL is displayed and a code that identifies the antimicrobial agent. The Liofilchem® MTS™ (MIC Test Strip) range comprises over 150 agents. Each agent is available as 10/pack (individually packed), 30/pack (individually packed) or 100/canister pack.
