Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assays identify the lowest concentration of a compound that successfully inhibits visible growth of a microorganism.

Linnaeus Bioscience offers MIC testing against a variety of bacterial and fungal pathogens using broth microdilution methods following CLSI guidelines.

We have hundreds of common clinical reference strains as well as multidrug resistant clinical isolates available for testing. Let us know how we can customize your MIC testing.
