The HY-LiTE\u00ae 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\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n
MEASUREMENT LIMITS:
\nIATA (International Air Transport Association) \u201cGuidance Material on Microbiological Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks\u201d 5th Edition:
\nNegligible: < 1000 RLU\/liter fuel Moderate: 1000 \u2013 5000 RLU\/liter fuel Heavy: > 5000 RLU\/liter fuel<\/p>\n
The limits suggested above are based on the HY-LiTE\u00ae 2 luminometer\u2019s 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.
\nThis fuel test kit contains patented capture solution for sampling from Jet A1 fuel samples.<\/p>\n
The HY-LiTE\u00ae Jet A1 Fuel Test Kit is suitable for rapid detection of microbiological contamination in fuel tanks and distribution systems.<\/p>\n

\nDe-skilled method
\nField test – no need for laboratory facilities
\nQuantitative, Objective results
\nNumerical read-out. Easy interpretation
\nSame protocol for all jet fuel samples (with \/ without water)
\nSame action limits for all samples (with \/ without water)
\nDetects biological activity directly in the sample and does not require the growth of microorganisms in laboratory media
\nFlexible 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.
\nSuitability
