Custom AST Panels Designed for Your Lab

Build antimicrobial susceptibility testing panels tailored to your formulary, patient population, and resistance patterns.

Are standard panels enough for your lab?

Where do standard panels fall short?

Standard AST panels are typically designed to meet broad, generalized needs. However, antimicrobial resistance, treatment protocols, and formularies are anything but standard. As resistance patterns evolve and new antimicrobials are introduced, fixed panels can quickly become misaligned with what your laboratory needs to test. This can result in gaps in coverage, reliance on supplemental testing, and delays in delivering the most relevant results to clinicians. 


Discover a panel built around your testing requirements

Sensititre custom AST panels give you the flexibility to design testing that reflects your lab vs. a standard template.
 

Tailored to your formulary
 

Select antimicrobials and dilution ranges that match what you prescribe and monitor.

Broad antimicrobial access
  

Choose from 300+ antimicrobials, including newer therapies.

Designed for clinical relevance 

Align testing with local resistance trends and patient populations.

Reduce additional testing
 

Consolidate testing into a single, efficient panel where possible.

 


Simple, partner-guided designed process

Our team works with you to design and deliver a panel that meets your exact requirements without the complexity.
 

The process:

1. Define your requirements
Share your formulary, organisms, and testing needs.

2. Design your panel
Work with our microbiology experts to configure your plate. Choose antimicrobials and dilution ranges tailored to your formulary requirements and local patient or animal populations

3. Review and approve
Custom plate designs are rigorously reviewed and approved based on quality and regulatory standards ensuring your plate meets your exact specifications and industry standard guidelines

4. Receive and implement
Your custom panel is delivered, ready for use in your workflow.

Typical manufacturing time: 


“In my practice, I depend on susceptibility testing for novel antibiotics for management of highly resistant MDRO infections. I cannot reliably predict which of these agents are going to be microbiologically active for my patients and my lab certainly does not want to do one-by-one manual testing for all of these combinations so that I can make my treatment decisions.”

 

- Dr. James McKinnell, Associate Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles
