Abstract:
A microplate for drug susceptibility testing, the microplate having a plurality of wells having a solid phase, the solid phase comprising (i) a drug, (ii) a color reagent, (iii) potassium ferricyanide, and (iv) potassium ferrocyanide, wherein the solid phase is formed by:(a) dissolving the drug in dimethyl sulfoxide to form a solution; (b) infusing a fixed amount of the solution formed in step (a) into each well of the microplate; (c) vacuum drying the solution in each well to form a solid; (d) infusing the color reagent, potassium ferricyanide, and potassium ferrocyanide into each well on top of the solid formed in step (c); and (e) vacuum drying each well from step (d) to yield the solid phase.
