HEAR courses comprise an interactive two day session with lectures and laboratory work.

An international faculty interacts with 20 participants from several Countries. HEAR allows for effective exchange of clinical experiences and expertise among clinicians, pharmacists and microbiologists with the patient's need utmost in mind. Liofilchem organizes several courses per year that cover a variety of topics with the goal of sharing the latest information to promote the rational use of antimicrobial agents. To address some of the resistance, diagnostic and treatment challenges faced by infectious disease specialists, ICU clinicians, clinical pharmacists and microbiologists, Liofilchem has invested in non-profit HEAR courses dedicated to education in the field of Antimicrobial Resistance Testing.

RPMI Agar

for antifungal susceptibility testing

RPMI Agar (RPMI1640, MOPS, L-glutamine, 2% Glucose) is intended for the AFST (antifungal susceptibility testing) and is recommended for usage with Antifungal MTS™ (MIC Test Strip).

Pick 4-5 colonies from 24-hours old cultures and suspend in saline solution or sterile water in order to obtain a 0.5 McFarland cell density.

Introduce a sterile swab into the suspension and inoculate the RPMI Agar plate.

Allow the plate to dry, position the antifungal strip onto the agar surface with the maximum concentration nearest the periphery of the plate.

Incubate at 35 °C for 24-48 hours.

Read the M.I.C. value where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the strip (intersection between two scale segments should be round up to the higher value).
