Product Details
BugCount Fuel test kits provide rapid ATP-by-filtration microbial testing for fuel, fuel-associated water, and other low-solids liquid samples. They deliver a fast, interference-resistant method for quantifying total microbial contamination in organic-based fluids.
Built on LuminUltra ATP measurement technology, these kits use a filtration and wash step to help reduce interference from non-microbial ATP, providing a more accurate representation of living microbial contamination.
Designed for field and shop use, BugCount Fuel kits provide results in under 5 minutes, allowing for faster contamination assessment and more informed operational decisions without the need for off-site laboratory testing. The method is compliant with ASTM D7687 and ASTM D7464 standards for microbial contamination testing.
Available in a 3-test configuration, these kits offer flexibility for routine monitoring, troubleshooting, and larger-scale testing programs.
