Sensititre Gram negative Extra MIC format (Part No. GNXF*)

Sensititre has added its Gram negative Extra MIC format (Part No. GNXF*) to the Non Fermenter MIC format (Part No. NF) as a solution for testing the most resistant Gram negative isolates.

The GNXF* format allows testing of colistin, polymyxin B, doxycycline, minocycline as well as doripenem, ertapenem, imipenem and tigecycline.

TREK offers this research-use-only product in response to requests for colistin and polymyxin B MIC testing.

CLSI M100 does list interpretive MIC guidelines for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter sp. and non-Enterobacteriaceae for these lipopeptides.

This year, the GNXF* format will be replaced by the Updated Gram negative Extra MIC format (Part No. GNX2F*) with adjusted ertapenem coverage (0.25-4 µg/mL) incorporating the 2010 CLSI M100-S20 breakpoints for Enterobacteriaceae.

The GNX2F* format will have an 18-month shelf life with room temperature storage and can be read manually, with the Vizion Digital MIC Viewing System or with the fully automated ARIS 2X system.
