 BIOCONNECTIONS introduced Single-Strip Broth Microdilution (SS-BMD) products in 2014 starting with Colistin in response to EUCAST warnings of other methods. This was followed by Vancomycin/Teicoplanin and Piperacillin Tazobactam.  There are now over 60 UK laboratories using SS-BMD products.  We can now offer an extended range of 20 SS-BMD products together with accessories.

Erba Lachema, producers of Mikrolatest, are a subsidiary of Erba Mannhein a large multinational life sciences company. Based in the Czech Republic they have been manufacturing BMD products for several years. As well as the 20 SS-BMD strips they also have a range of 96 well plate format BMD for Gram negative (including non-fermenters) and Gram positive isolates. 
 
The quality of Erba Mikrolatest is well established. In addition to the acceptance of the product in UK laboratories, a member of the EUCAST general committee confirmed the performance of the Colistin SS-BMD. All the products in the Erba Mikrolatest range carry current CE-IVD certification/registration and are registered for use with MHRA.  These products were launched in the UK in March and several UK laboratories are already using the Erba Mikrolatest SS-BMD products. Erba Lachema, producers of Mikrolatest, are a subsidiary of Erba Mannhein a large multinational life sciences company. 

As well as the 20 SS-BMD strips the MIKROLATEST range includes 96 well plate format BMD plates.  The following is an outline.  More information is available on the Erba Lachema website.
