IATA approved, MicrobMonitor² is easy to use. You can test the water or fuel phase of aviation fuel. The test consists of a test bottle containing a thixotropic nutrient gel that promotes the growth of bacteria and yeast/molds. Once a sample has been added to the bottle, the container is placed in a warm, dark place for 72 hours. The microbes actually grow in and on the gel. They will show up as red or purplish red dots in the sample bottle indicating a positive result. If you require a quantitative number there is a color chart to compare the results against. Generally any positive growth requires action and Kathon^® FP 1.5 biocide treatment.

The benefit in using the MicrobMonitor² kit over the LiquiCult Test Kit is that the MicrobMonitor² uses a syringe without a needle, making it safer for the operator to use.
