MTS™ GRD for detection of Glycopeptide Resistance

MTS™ is a quantitative assay for determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial agents against microorganisms and for detecting the resistance mechanisms.

MTS™ are paper strips with special features* that are impregnated with a predefined concentration gradient of antibiotic, across 15 two-fold dilutions of a conventional MIC method. On one side of the strip is indicated a MIC scale in μg/mL and a code that identify the antimicrobial agent. For ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase) and MBL (Metallo Beta Lactamase) detection, the double-sided gradient carries the appropriate diagnostic reagents.

MTS™ are available in a large variety of configurations. Each configuration is available in packages of 10, 30 and 100 tests.
