Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Disc HardyDisks Bacitracin 0.04 U, 1/EA

HardyDisks bacitracin antimicrobial susceptibility testing discs are lab testing discs used for the presumptive identification of group A, beta-hemolytic streptococci. They fit microbiology workflows that need a bacitracin differentiation test to help distinguish group A streptococci from other Lancefield groups of hemolytic streptococci. Each cartridge contains 50 spring-loaded discs for smooth dispensing, and storage is required at -20 to 8 degrees C away from direct light.

Good Fit For

• Microbiology laboratories performing bacitracin differentiation testing
• Workflows screening beta-hemolytic streptococci
• Labs that need cartridge-based disc dispensing

Key Features

• Bacitracin differentiation discs for presumptive identification of group A, beta-hemolytic streptococci
• Approximately 0.04 units of bacitracin per disc for the stated test method
• Helps differentiate group A streptococci from other Lancefield groups of hemolytic streptococci
• Each cartridge holds 50 discs to support routine lab testing
• Spring-loaded cartridge supports smooth, reliable dispensing from a single metal disc dispenser
