Descrição

Descrição geral

The HY-LiTE^® Jet A1 Fuel Test Kit contains ready-to-use pens for detection of total biological contamination of Jet A1 fuel used in conjunction with the HY-LiTE^® 2luminometer. Fuel contains small amounts of water and bears the risk of microbial contamination. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is detected by reaction with a luciferin/luciferase reagent in a buffered solution. The test kit is designed to indicate the presence of metabolically active biological material such as bacteria, yeast, and molds, including sulphate-reducing bacteria and other anaerobic microorganisms, which may not be detected by traditional growth-based methods.MEASUREMENT LIMITS:
IATA (International Air Transport Association) “Guidance Material on Microbiological Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks” 5th Edition:

• Negligible: < 1000 RLU/liter fuel
• Moderate: 1000 – 5000 RLU/liter fuel
• Heavy: > 5000 RLU/liter fuel

The limits suggested above are based on the HY-LiTE^® 2 luminometer’s measurement scale. They apply only to Aircraft Wing Tank samples and are based on comparison with other routinely used methods. These limits are a suggestion only and may need to be adapted for other types of samples and according to individual circumstances, frequency of testing, history of contamination etc.
This fuel test kit contains patented capture solution for sampling from Jet A1 fuel samples.

Aplicação

The HY-LiTE^® Jet A1 Fuel Test Kit is suitable for rapid detection of microbiological contamination in fuel tanks and distribution systems.

Características e benefícios

• Results obtained within minutes
• De-skilled method
• Field test - no need for laboratory facilities
• Quantitative, Objective results
• Numerical read-out. Easy interpretation
• Same protocol for all jet fuel samples (with / without water)
• Same action limits for all samples (with / without water)
• Detects biological activity directly in the sample and does not require the growth of microorganisms in laboratory media
• Flexible sample volume. 1 liter recommended but lower volumes can be tested. For comparison with guidelines, results can be volume adjusted: RLU/liter = RLU x (1000 ml/ml sample volume)Recommended in IATA Guidance Material on Microbiological Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks 5th Ed.

Adequação

For examination of biomass contamination of Jet A1 and other fuel samples
