BD 231299 - BBL Sensi-Disc Gentamicin GM-10, Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Discs, 10BX
The BD 231299 BBL Sensi-Disc Gentamicin GM-10 is a high-quality diagnostic reagent designed for antibiotic susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories. Each disc contains 10g of gentamicin, a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic commonly used to evaluate bacterial sensitivity.
These paper discs are manufactured under strict quality standards to ensure accurate, consistent diffusion results during the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. By providing clear and reliable inhibition zones, the discs help clinicians and microbiologists determine the most effective therapy for bacterial infections.

Incubate under recommended conditions.
Measure the inhibition zone to determine bacterial susceptibility to gentamicin.
Dispose of used plates according to biohazard regulations.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The BD 231299 BBL Sensi-Disc Gentamicin GM-10 complies with FDA, CE, and ISO standards for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) products. It is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistency and reliability across laboratories worldwide.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike some generic antibiotic discs, BD Sensi-Discs are manufactured with rigorous quality assurance to ensure precise potency and diffusion characteristics, minimizing variability in results. This makes them a trusted choice for laboratories that demand high reproducibility in susceptibility testing.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is commonly used by:
Clinical microbiologists conducting patient diagnostics.
Hospital laboratories testing for antibiotic resistance.
Research scientists studying antimicrobial susceptibility.
Academic institutions teaching diagnostic microbiology techniques.
Scenarios include routine patient testing, hospital-acquired infection studies, and surveillance of antibiotic resistance trends.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store discs under recommended temperature and humidity conditions to maintain potency.
Handle using aseptic techniques to prevent contamination.
Use discs before the expiration date for accurate results.
Do not reuse; each disc is single-use only.
Regulatory and Safety Information
