Cefepime 30mcg 1vl Himedia

Cefepime 30mcg 1VL by HiMedia refers to filter paper discs containing cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, at a concentration of 30 micrograms per disc. These discs are used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing, specifically for the Kirby-Bauer method, to assess the effectiveness of cefepime against various bacterial cultures. Each disc is 6mm in diameter and printed with "CPM 30" on both sides for easy identification. Key features:

• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing: These discs are designed for determining the sensitivity of bacteria to cefepime. 
• Kirby-Bauer method: The discs are used in the standardized Kirby-Bauer method, a common technique for antibiotic susceptibility testing. 
• 30mcg concentration: Each disc contains a precise amount of cefepime (30 micrograms). 
• Visual identification: The discs are marked with "CPM 30" on both sides for easy recognition. 
• Storage: Cefepime discs should be stored at -20C under dry conditions, ideally with a desiccant. 

In simpler terms: Imagine these discs as tiny, labeled stickers containing a specific amount of antibiotic. Microbiologists use them to see how well the antibiotic works against different bacteria, helping them choose the right treatment.
