Antimicrobial microtiter broth assays purchase for microbiology susceptibility tests.

This platform, and associated reagents, is used for bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility testing at PSHCS on veteran’s isolated pathogens. This contract is for reagents and/or consumables as part of a cost per test (CPT) agreement with equipment(analyzer/instrument) owned by vendor with any and/or all services to be included but not limited to performance and/or function ability, if acquired during the contract cycle. If at any time an FDA approved newer equipment is available, vendor shall provide with all cost of validation by the request of PSHCS. Furthermore, vendor reagents and/or consumables are delivered upon request through the PSHCS Seattle Warehouse. Antimicrobial panels with true MIC values obtained by broth microdilution, must provide antibiotic susceptibility and resistance patterns through standard and/or custom panels to ensure our patient population obtains appropriate testing and treatment. These products are mandatory for determining what antibiotics the veteran’s provider can use to treat pathogenic organisms.
