MAST^® has produced antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) products since 1957 and continues to be at the forefront of development in this field. Utilising this expertise, MAST^® has conducted focused research to develop an extensive portfolio of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) products including;

• mastdiscs^®AST,
• mastdiscs^® combi and
• mastdiscs^®ID.

MAST^® are delighted to announce that they will be launching the MAST^® ICT (D74C); a paper test device, based on the principals of the Indirect Carbapenemase Test, that is easy to use and compatible across a range of carbapenemase-producing-bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter spp.)

MAST^® will also be showcasing the mastdiscs^® combi Carba plus (D73C) which is an innovative five-disc system for the detection of MBL, KPC and OXA-48-like carbapenemases produced by Enterobacteriaceae including reliable discrimination of KPC from AmpC producing isolates.

Also on show is the new addition to the mastdiscs® range – Ceftazadime/avibactam 10-4 (CZA14C) and Ceftazadime/avibactam 30-20 (CZA50C), which are available now! Marketed commercially as Zavicefta, this novel compound combines ceftazidime and avibactam to provide a solution for the treatment of Gram-negative organisms that confer resistance to β-lactam antibiotics and pose a considerable threat to public health.

Additionally, MAST^® also offers mastpharma™; a range of services, including mastpharma™ development and mastpharma™ stability, for the evaluation of novel antimicrobial compounds for the pharmaceutical industry. MAST^® is a primary strategic partner for the pharmaceutical industry in the development of commercial antibiotic testing devices, ensuring a product and service you can rely on.
