MAST® Assure AntiseraBiochemical Identification MediaMAST® IDReceptor Destroying EnzymeAntibiotic Resistance Detection Sets

Accurate identification of Enterobacterales from clinical samples is fundamental to effective patient management. Based on the specific biochemical properties of each organism, our range of biochemical identification media supports multipoint inoculation for rapid, simultaneous testing across multiple isolates.

Compatible with both manual and automated detection systems, the range covers a broad spectrum of biochemical reactions, supporting the comprehensive phenotypic profiling needed to generate reliable identification results.
