Broth microdilution is the gold standard of MIC testing but has a reputation for being too laborious for routine use.

However for small numbers of samples it is quite simple and is finding a place in getting the correct MIC for pseudomonads, cystic fibrosis isolates, carbapenemases, fungi and glycopeptides.

This video shows how simple and inexpensive broth microdilution can be for those critical samples.

BioConnections has been helping UK laboratories implement manual broth microdilution  for several years.
Our range of MICRONAUT plates covers both antifungal and antimicrobial agents.
