Identification panels and ABC MIKROLATEST ID and SENSILATEST
Identification and sensitivity of microorganisms by the breakpoint method according to EUCAST
MIKROLATEST ID and SENSILATEST are shared micropanels for identifying clinically relevant microorganisms and assessing antibiotic sensitivity.
Request a quotationMIKROLATEST ID uses standardized biochemical reactions and allows manual or automatic reading. SENSILATEST implements breakpoint EUCAST testing for Enterobacteriaceae, non-fermenting bacteria, staphylococci, enterocci/streptococci and urinary tract isolates.
The panels are designed as shared microplate strips: only the required number of tests are used. MIKROLATEST ID is usually read after 4 or 24 hours, up to 48 hours for slow-growing non-enzymes; SENSILATEST after 24 hours, up to 48 hours. Available, for example, ENTEROtest 24 N (40 definitions), SENSILATEST G-I/G-II/NEFERM/STAPHY (60) and URINE/G+ (40); The composition of antibiotics and the membership of the panel are selected according to the current catalog.
Identification - MIKROLATEST ID
- Standardized biochemical reactions, manual or automatic reading
- Microplate strips that are separated – only the required number of tests are used
- The result is usually 4 or 24 hours, up to 48 hours for slow-growing non-fermenting bacteria.
- Additional detection strips OXItest, ONPtest, PYRAtest, VPtest
Sensitivity - SENSILATEST
- Breakpoint testing according to EUCAST standards with interpretation: sensitive / intermediate / resistant
- Separate panels for enterobacteria (G-I, G-II), non-fermenting bacteria (NEFERM), staphylococci (STAPHY), streptococci/enterococci (G+) and uroisolates (URINE)
- Forecast of BLRS (G-I, G-II, URINE) and MBL (NEFERM) products
- Indication of possible MRSA in the STAPHY panel
