Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is essential in guiding the right antibiotic therapy and combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As we all know, third party reliable quality control is the foundation of accurate results for our patients.
AB Scientific, in partnership with Microbiologics, is proud to introduce the 5260P, 7-Strain GN-AST QC Set – the only consolidated, ready-to-use QC solution specifically designed to support automated gram-negative AST workflows.
What’s Included:
Why Labs Choose 5260P:
✔ Designed for automated GN-AST systems (e.g., VITEK® 2)
✔ Convenient KWIK-STIK® format – no frozen cultures, no subculture workflow
✔ Room-temperature shipping; refrigerated storage (2–8°C)
✔ 24-month shelf life
✔ Reduced operational burden vs. sourcing individual ATCC® strains
✔ Aligned with evolving CLSI & EUCAST guidance
5260P simplifies QC management while supporting accurate, reliable AST results – helping your lab maintain high standards as diagnostic demands continue to grow. In parallel to our QC AST support, AB Scientific’s Rapid Diagnostics Division offers QuickMIC from Gradientech – an innovative Ultra – Rapid AST system designed to significantly shorten time-to-result directly from positive blood cultures.
More laboratories are adopting rapid AST solutions because they enable:
• Faster targeted therapy decisions
• Improved antimicrobial stewardship
• Reduced unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic use
• Shorter hospital stays
• Enhanced patient outcomes
• Stronger strategies to combat AMR
As expectations continue to shift toward faster, clinically actionable results, combining strong QC foundations with rapid AST capability positions laboratories at the forefront of modern clinical microbiology.
