Liofilchem
Liofilchem is an Italian company specializing in the development, production, and distribution of microbiology and diagnostic products for both clinical and industrial laboratories. The company plays a leading role in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through innovative, phenotypic testing solutions.
A core focus is Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST), led by the MTS™ (MIC Test Strip) — a quantitative gradient assay used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antibiotics, antifungals, and resistance mechanisms such as ESBL, MBL, and KPC. Complementary tools include antibiotic discs for diffusion testing and ComASP™ panels for standardized microdilution assays.
Liofilchem also manufactures a wide range of culture media, available as ready-to-use plates, tubes, or powders, including chromogenic media and selective supplements. Their identification systems (e.g., Entero and Listeria Systems) provide accurate biochemical profiling for bacteria and yeasts, supported by rapid test kits for routine assays.
For quality control and environmental monitoring, the company supplies biological indicators, QC microorganisms (CultiControl™), and environmental swabs for surface and air testing.
Operating under ISO-certified standards, Liofilchem delivers reliability and precision across every area of microbiological testing.
