Conidia / Fuelstat - Microbial Fuel Testing

Developed by Conidia Bioscience, both FUELSTAT® Plus and FUELSTAT® One offer rapid, on-site, wing-side immunoassay testing compliant with IATA and JIG guidelines, and officially listed in major aircraft OEM Maintenance Manuals (AMM) including Airbus and Boeing. Operating without laboratory equipment or sterile conditions, these standalone tests effectively replace traditional Colony Forming Unit (CFU) culturing by measuring active biological weight directly. While sharing the same stringent aviation compliance, the two kits differ fundamentally in technology, data output, and workflow to suit different fleet maintenance strategies.
  •  FUELSTAT® Plus utilizes a classic antibody-based lateral flow immunoassay that delivers a clear, semi-quantitative "traffic light" status (Negligible, Moderate, or Heavy contamination) in just 10 to 15 minutes, allowing for fast visual reading and optional app verification. Conversely.
  • FUELSTAT® One represents the advanced digital generation, utilizing protein-ligand binding technology to achieve fully quantitative numerical data. Optimized for total integration with the FUELSTAT® mobile app, it requires slightly more processing time (20 to 30 minutes) to generate precise, auditable PDF reports and digital data logs, making it the preferred choice for MRO teams tracking long-term contamination trends across large aircraft fleets.
