Meropenem with & without EDTA

Ezy MIC™ strip is useful for quantitative determination of susceptibility of bacteria to antibacterial agents. The system comprises of a predefined quantitative gradient which is used for phenotypic detection of metallo beta lactamase producing organism on appropriate agar media, following overnight incubation. Meropenem with and without EDTA Ezy MIC™ Strip is a thin, inert and porous paper strip coated with antibiotic and inhibitor on a single strip in a concentration gradient manner. The upper half has Meropenem + EDTA with a highest concentration tapering downwards and capable of showing IC values in the range of 1-64, whereas lower half is similarly coated with Meropenem concentration gradient in reverse direction to show IC values in the range of 4-256. Both sides of the strip are likewise printed with the IC reading scale and the symbol “MRP+EDTA” printed on the top of the strip whereas "MRP" printed on bottom of the strips helps in easy identification of the antibiotic.
