Determination of MIC


 

Oxoid has launched the improved M.I.C.Evaluator (M.I.C.E.) strips, a product range for the accurate determination of
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. The new distinctive gradient format of M.I.C.E. strips provides an excellent contrast with agar and the increased font size makes reading
easier. M.I.C.E. strips combine the simplicity and ease of use of the diffusion method with the accuracy of an MIC test, to provide important information for the treatment of critically ill patients. M.I.C.E. strips carry a stabilised antimicrobial, covering 15 doubling dilutions, on a convenient polymer strip. The thickness of the M.I.C.E. strip makes it easy to handle as it is applied to a pre-inoculated agar plate. The
MIC is easily read where the growth of the organism touches the strip.
