ECHA 16/MM/02 MicrobMonitor2 is a rapid, accurate, and easy-to-use test kit designed to detect microbial contamination in aviation fuels, oils, and associated waters. This innovative product complies with IP 613 standards, ensuring reliable and consistent results.  

MicrobMonitor2 was developed for monitoring microbial contamination in fuel and oils and has now become an on-site industry standard for this application. MFG SKU ECHA16/MM/02MicrobMonitor2 enables testing in accordance with a NEW International Petroleum Standard Method IP 613 - Determination of the viable aerobic microbial content of fuels and associated water - Thixotropic Gel Culture Method.

• Rapid Results: Provides results within 5 days, allowing for timely detection of microbial contamination.
  
• Accurate: Quantitatively detects all types of microbes (bacteria, yeast, and mold) in fuel and oil samples.   
  
• Easy to Use: Simple, step-by-step procedure requires minimal training.   
  Portable: Ideal for both field and laboratory use.   
  
• Sensitive: Detects even low levels of microbial contamination.   
  Cost-Effective: Provides a cost-effective solution for routine microbial testing.

• Aviation Fuel Testing: Used to test aviation fuels for microbial contamination, preventing engine damage and ensuring safe operations.   
  
• Oil Analysis: Used to monitor the microbial condition of aviation oils and hydraulic fluids.
  
• Quality Control: Ensures the quality and purity of aviation fuels and oils.   

Why test for microbes in fuel?
Microbial contamination has caused aircraft to abort take off, ships to be taken out of service and power generator bearings to fail. Contamination can, if detected early, be treated and severe operational problems can be avoided. Routine condition monitoring as part of a good housekeeping regime can significantly improve asset utilisation and reduce operational risks. Microbial contamination in fuels can cause: Filter plugging, blocking of fuel and oil lines and injectors causing excessive wear and failure. Corrosion of tanks, bearings and other systems Increased water content causing fuels to become hazy and degrade
