MICRONAUT - colistin plates and strips

Picture
Colistin MIC testing
Colistin M.I.C
Colistin (polymyxin E) MIC determination is associated with several methodological issues. The CLSI-EUCAST joint Polymyxin Breakpoints Working Group recommend that only broth microdilution is suitable for determining Colistin MIC .

​EUCAST has issued warnings about batches of gradient diffusion products
MICRONAUT's  broth microdilution Colistin MIC has been on the market for many years and  conforms to ISO20776-1:2006.  The strip comes in packs of 5 plates, each plate has 8 removable strips of 12 wells, giving each pack 40 tests.
