ETEST Imipenem (IP) (0.002-32 µg/mL)
ETEST is a manual, quantitative technique for determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of non-fastidious Gram-negative and Gram-positive aerobic bacteria and fastidious bacteria
The system comprises a predefined antibiotic gradient which is used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC, in μg/mL) of different antimicrobial agents against microorganisms tested on agar media after overnight incubation
ETEST® is a thin, inert, non-porous plastic strip carrying the MIC reading scale in μg/mL on one side (A) and a predefined antibiotic gradient on the other side (B)
Single Pack: 30 test strips
ETEST Complements the VITEK® 2 System: the synergy between VITEK 2 and ETEST helps address challenging situations and provides quantitative MICs for patients
