Detection of carbapenemase activity in Enterobacteriaceae using LC-MS/MS in comparison with the neo-rapid CARB kit using direct visual assessment and colorimetry
It has been described that the sensitivity of the Carba NP test may be low in the case of OXA-48-like carbapenamases and mass spectrometry based methods as well as a colorimetry based method have been described as alternatives.

Comparison of the Carba NP, Modified Carba NP, and Updated Rosco Neo-Rapid Carb Kit Tests for Carbapenemase Detection
The accurate detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms is a major callenge for clinical laboratories. The Carba NP test is highly accurate but inconvenient, as it repuires fepuent preparation of fresh imipenem solution.
