MIC Test Strip for antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance testing Liofilchem® MIC Test Strip Liofilchem® MIC Test Strip Quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.) MTS™ is a quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M.I.C.) of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms and for detecting the resistance mechanisms. MTS™ are porous strips with special features that are impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of antibiotic, across 15 two-fold dilutions of a conventional M.I.C. method. On one side of the strip is indicated a M.I.C. scale in µg/mL and a code that identify the antimicrobial agent. For ESBL, MBL, GRD, AmpC and KPC detection, the double-sided gradient carries the appropriate diagnostic reagents. MTS™ are available in a large variety of configurations. Each configuration is available in packages of 10, 30 and 100 tests. Mixed culture on Chromatic MH MTS™ Meropenem 0.002-32 µg/mL S. aureus ATCC® 29213 MTS™ Aztreonam-Avibactam 0.016/4-256/4 µg/mL M.I.C. = 0.125 µg/mL method principle When the MTS™ is applied onto an inoculated agar surface, the preformed exponential gradient of antimicrobial agent is transferred to the agar matrix. After 18 hours incubation or longer, a symmetrical inhibition ellipse centered along the strip is formed. The MIC is read directly from the scale in terms of µg/mL at the point where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the MTS™. Other growth/inhibition patterns may also be seen for resistance detection methods.
