- Standardized Susceptibility Testing: Designed to produce consistent, reproducible zone of inhibition measurements for accurate bacteria-antibiotic efficacy evaluation.
- Low Inhibitor Content: Specially formulated to contain minimal levels of thymine, thymidine, calcium, and magnesium, ensuring the effectiveness of sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and aminoglycosides is not artificially inhibited.
- Toxin Absorption: The addition of starch acts to absorb toxic metabolic byproducts produced by bacteria so they don't interfere with the antibiotics.
