CLASSROOM MICROBIOLOGY ANTIBIOTIC EFFECTS KIT
SKU:K24AE-AEK20C
This kit includes live cultures. Must be used within 2 weeks of receiving the package.
Features
The purpose of using this kit is to give your students a hands-on experience of studying the effects of antibiotics on microorganisms.
Product Description
This kit is based on the Bauer-Kirby test. It investigates the effectiveness of 3 antibiotics using disks of chloramphenicol, penicillin and tetracycline on a petri dish. The following day, students measure the clear “zones of inhibition” (clear zones of growth) around each disk to find out which of the 3 antibiotics were most effective against each bacteria.
 |
EasyGel has pre-sterilized growth media and petri dishes that are ready for your students as you need them for your classroom experiments.
There is no fuss and bother. Just pour the Easygel® into the pre-treated plate and get a sterile gel in 45 minutes! |

Product Description
FYI: The Kirby-Bauer test, known as the disk-diffusion method, is the most widely used antibiotic susceptibility test in determing what treatment of antibiotics need to be used when treating an infection. This method relies on the inhibition of bacterial growth measured under standard conditions.
To test, a culture medium is uniformly and aseptically inoculated with the test organism.
The organism will grow on the agar plate while the antibiotic “works” to inhibit the growth. If the organism is susceptible to a specific antibiotic, there will be no growth around the disc containing the antibiotic. Thus, a “zone of inhibition” can be observed and measured to determine the susceptibility to an antibiotic for that particular organism.

Building in 1 Direction: The rods can be connected in-line without the intermediate need of a connector, almost reducing to half the quantity of parts required to build models.
Building in 2 Direction: While the assembled rod looks uniform with nothing protruding, it may provide building directions vertically and sideways by simply snap fitting another rod to one of the bi-directional side cavities. This innovative design allows snap assembly on both sides simultaneously and greatly enhances the expandability of the System.
Building in 3 Directions: The System is capable of tackling with the same ease as all the other building directions. All directions of the 3D space are accessible by combining the rods with the various types of connectors.
Connecting in Fixed Angles: This system makes it possible to build complex models that require connections of 45°
Building Machines: The optimized design of Engino components consists of only 18 different types of multi-functional parts. Yet you can build simple and complex machines. Following the same design principles of the basic system, a range of different types of gears, pulleys, axles and accessories make it the ideal constructional toy for home and school.
