Test Cards

The VITEK Test Card is the size of a playing card and is made up of 30 or 45 microwells containing either identification substrates or antimicrobics. VITEK offers a wide range of cards for the identification and susceptibility testing of most organisms encountered in the laboratory.

The VITEK Test Card is a sealed container, so there is no aerosol or splattering, spills or personal contamination. Disposable waste is reduced by more than 80% over microtiter methods.
