Mast Group Ltd have announced the launch of the NEW MAST® CARBA PAcE for rapid carbapenemase detection in Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and Enterobacterales.

Increasing antimicrobial resistance is one of the most urgent global challenges facing the field of healthcare.  Carbapenem resistant bacteria are an emerging cause of healthcare associated infection and are particularly concerning due to the high level of antimicrobial resistance coupled with the ability for widespread transmission. It is important to detect carriers quickly to prevent and control spread and so aid antimicrobial stewardship.

Mast Group Ltd. has developed a colorimetric test which rapidly detects carbapenemase producing Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter spp. and Enterobacterales using a novel chromogenic cephalosporin analogue.

• Rapid results in less than 10 minutes
• Simple test process in 5 easy steps
