Conidia Bioscience has introduced a test kit that will rapidly detect microbial contamination in jet fuel. The Fuelstat One test can be used throughout the entire fuel supply chain, from storage terminal to wing tank, offering a comprehensive overview of the fuel's quality.

The simple, rapid lateral flow test can be conducted on free water or fuel phase samples to detect a broad range of microorganisms, with results in less than 30 minutes. According to the company, the test’s function is similar to the now-familiar Covid-19 tests that identify markers of infection. Fuelstat One detects markers of bacteria and fungi that can grow in jet fuel, leading to biofilms and sludge formation that can clog fuel filters and obstruct fuel lines, causing engine malfunctions or failures.

Conidia's test kit is supported by an app that provides results and generates a shareable PDF report. Users can manage results from all tests conducted by their team globally at the touch of a button.

“After years of development, the introduction of Fuelstat One represents a significant advancement in microbial detection for aviation fuel and redefines the industry benchmark,” said Jay Patel, Conidia’s head of innovation. “Fuelstat One test kits enable a single person to conduct tests at the tank using just four drops of fuel sample, following step-by-step video test instructions via the app.”
