Clinical Diagnostics
Identifying diseases, conditions, or infections through laboratory testing
Clinical microbiology laboratories are at the forefront of infectious disease diagnosis, antimicrobial resistance surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship, processing millions of samples each year to help guide effective patient management. The quality of your diagnostic tools therefore directly shapes patient care. Mast Group has been a trusted supplier to clinical laboratories since 1959, delivering high-quality IVD products, technical expertise and the responsive support your laboratory can depend on
Antibiotic susceptibility testing and AMR detection
Satisfy your antibiotic susceptibility testing requirements with the MASTDISCS® AST range, one of the most comprehensive available worldwide. Including over 100 antibiotics and antifungals in cartridge and vial formats, and fully aligned with EUCAST and CLSI breakpoint standards, the MASTDISCS® AST range is designed to deliver the accurate, reproducible results laboratories depend on. Where antimicrobial resistance mechanism characterisation is required, MASTDISCS® Combi combination disc sets reliably detect and differentiate ESbL, AmpC and carbapenemase producers. For rapid carbapenemase screening, MAST® CARBA PAcE delivers clear, actionable results in under 10 minutes, with MAST ISOPLEX® isothermal amplification kits available for fast molecular confirmation of resistance mechanisms.
Urinary infection diagnosis
Streamline your urine microbiology workflow with the MAST URI® Connect system. Purpose-built for busy clinical laboratories, it enables direct culture, identification and susceptibility testing of urine pathogens, with over 95% of results reportable within 24 hours — a full day faster than traditional methods. Enhanced traceability, quantification to 10³ CFU/mL and a significantly reduced consumable footprint help process high volumes efficiently, with significant reductions in agar and plastic waste compared to conventional plate-based testing
Molecular Diagnostics
As the UK distributor for Seegene, we offer access to the Allplex™ range of high-multiplex PCR assays for syndromic testing of respiratory, gastrointestinal, sexually transmitted and other infectious disease targets, enabling laboratories to detect multiple pathogens simultaneously from a single sample.
We also have our own range of Mast® Molecular products, utilising LAMP technology in our proprietary lyophilised format allows for rapid detection with minimal equipment.
Identification, culture media and serology
Support every stage of your diagnostic pathway with our comprehensive range of identification, culture media and serology products. From latex agglutination and biochemical identification to dehydrated culture media, selective supplements and the extensive MAST® ASSURE bacterial agglutinating antisera portfolio, we provide the tools to identify clinically significant pathogens.
