Product Description
Amoxycillin AML 10 µg is a HiMedia antibiotic sensitivity disc intended for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacterial cultures by a standardised agar disc diffusion procedure. Each filter-paper disc contains 10 µg of amoxycillin.
HiMedia supplies the corresponding 10 µg sensitivity disc under catalogue number SD001. The manufacturer’s recognised disc symbol is AMX, and the discs are identified as AMX 10. The product name supplied here uses AML 10 µg, so buyers should verify the SD001 catalogue number and AMX 10 marking on the original HiMedia pack before use.
During testing, a standardised bacterial suspension is inoculated uniformly onto an appropriate agar medium. The Amoxycillin AMX 10 disc is placed aseptically on the inoculated surface using sterile forceps or a compatible disc dispenser.
After incubation under the conditions required for the test organism, the diameter of the complete inhibition zone is measured and interpreted according to the current CLSI, EUCAST or another approved standard. Breakpoints and quality-control ranges can change, so old interpretive values should not be used automatically.

Product Overview
Antibiotic sensitivity discs are standardised filter-paper discs impregnated with a defined quantity of an antimicrobial agent. When a disc is placed on an inoculated agar plate, the antimicrobial diffuses into the surrounding medium and may produce a measurable inhibition zone when the test organism is susceptible under the specified conditions.
Amoxycillin is a beta-lactam antimicrobial agent. In this product, each disc contains a specified potency of 10 µg. The product is a laboratory susceptibility-testing reagent and is not a tablet, capsule, injection or other medicinal dosage form.
The inhibition-zone diameter can be influenced by the organism, culture medium, agar depth, pH, inoculum density, disc potency, storage conditions, incubation atmosphere, incubation time and measurement technique. Reliable interpretation requires a controlled method and satisfactory quality-control results.

Basic Test Procedure
The following information is a general workflow only. The current approved method, HiMedia product instructions and the laboratory’s standard operating procedure must be followed.
- Prepare an appropriate susceptibility-testing agar plate at the required depth.
- Prepare the test organism inoculum to the method-specified density using an approved turbidity standard.
- Inoculate the complete agar surface uniformly with a sterile swab.
- Allow the inoculated surface to absorb excess moisture for the specified period.
- Place the Amoxycillin AMX 10 disc aseptically using sterile forceps or a compatible disc dispenser.
- Maintain the required spacing between adjacent antimicrobial discs.
- Incubate at the temperature, atmosphere and duration specified for the organism.
- Measure complete inhibition-zone diameters using a suitable calibrated measuring device.
- Interpret and report the result using the current approved breakpoint and quality-control standard.
Recommended Media and Testing Conditions
Mueller Hinton Agar is commonly used for agar disc diffusion testing of rapidly growing non-fastidious aerobic bacteria. Fastidious or special organisms may require supplemented media, alternative media or different incubation conditions.
The exact medium, agar depth, inoculum density, disc spacing, incubation atmosphere, temperature, duration and interpretation criteria must be selected according to the organism and current approved procedure. One set of conditions must not be applied to every organism.
Storage and Shelf-Life
Store the HiMedia SD001 discs under the temperature and dry-storage conditions printed on the supplied product label. HiMedia catalogue and distributor information for this product commonly specifies storage between -20°C and +8°C after opening, with protection from moisture.
- Keep the discs with the supplied desiccant.
- Return the discs to the recommended storage condition promptly after use.
- Keep the vial, cartridge or package tightly closed.
- Protect the discs from moisture and prolonged room-temperature exposure.
- Do not use wet, damaged, contaminated or expired discs.
- Follow the laboratory procedure for temperature equilibration before opening cold packaging.
- Record the lot number, opening date, storage condition and expiry date.
- Do not use discs when storage conditions have not been maintained.
Quality-Control Considerations
Each new lot or shipment should be evaluated through the laboratory’s quality-control programme using suitable reference organisms, approved culture media and standard incubation conditions.
Zone diameters may be influenced by agar depth, medium pH, inoculum density, disc potency, storage, incubation conditions and measurement technique. Results should not be released when required quality-control performance is unacceptable.
Use the current CLSI, EUCAST or another approved quality-control and interpretation standard. Historical breakpoints or quality-control ranges should not be copied into routine use without confirming that they remain current and applicable.
Important Limitations
- Disc diffusion is an in vitro laboratory procedure and does not by itself predict the complete clinical response of a patient.
- The result depends on correct organism identification, inoculum preparation, medium selection, incubation and interpretation.
- This product must not be administered to humans or animals.
- The official HiMedia product code is SD001 and the 10 µg disc is identified as AMX 10.
- The AML abbreviation provided in the product name should not be used to identify the physical disc without checking the original pack.
- Susceptibility categories must be assigned using a current approved standard applicable to the organism.
- A small or absent inhibition zone should not be interpreted without confirming test validity and quality-control performance.
- The product is not intended for home testing or use by untrained individuals.
Safety and Handling
- Use only in a properly equipped microbiology laboratory.
- Handle bacterial cultures according to the required biosafety level and institutional procedure.
- Wear suitable gloves, laboratory clothing and eye protection.
- Apply discs using sterile forceps or a validated disc dispenser.
- Do not touch the discs with bare hands.
- Avoid unnecessary exposure of the discs to moisture and room air.
- Decontaminate used plates, cultures and disposable materials before disposal.
- Follow the product instructions, institutional biosafety procedure and applicable waste regulations.
