The kits are complete with ready-to-use cartridges of the necessary combined Neo-Sensitabs™ or Diatabs™ and a guide to their use.

The capability to detect ESBLs, AmpC and carbapenemases (KPC and metallo-â-lactamases) in the laboratory is important to improve the clinical management of infections.

Disk (tablet) approximation tests detecting synergy (or antagonism) are used to screen and detect the mentioned beta-lactamases.

The combination of non-susceptibility to carbapenems with synergism between Phenylboronic Acid and a carbapenem is indicative of KPC beta-lactamase.

ROSCO Diagnostica acknowledges the increasing need for detecting mechanisms of resistance and is focusing its research activities in this field.
