Simplified and easy-to-use testing
Rosco Diagnostica acknowledges the increasing need for detection of resistance mechanisms. In order to supply our customers/users with a convenient system for detection, rapid colorimetric and assembled kits with disc diffusion tablets are available. The kits are complete with ready-to-use cartridges of the necessary combined Neo-Sensitabs™ or Diatabs™ and a guide to their use.

Why Phenotypic Methods?
Phenotypic methods are useful for detection of beta-lactamases. They are cheap and easy to perform and interpret. Molecular techniques, on the contrary, are expensive, require significant expertise and do not identify novel and emerging resistance genes or even slightly structurally modified genes.
