Oxacillin

HiComb™ MIC Strip is based on the principle of dilution and diffusion. The strip is made up of an inert material, with 8 extensions that carry the discs of 4 mm diameter, resembling the ‘tooth’ of a comb. Towards the stem of the strip, MIC reading scale in μg/ml is given along with the HiMedia code. A defined concentration of Oxacillin is loaded on the each of the disc so as to form a gradient when placed on agar plate. HiComb™ MIC Strip consists of a gradient that covers a continuous range of 16 two-fold dilutions on 2 different strips (Part A : 256-2 & Part B : 2.048-0.016) as per the conventional MIC method.
