The MicrobMonitor GMF (GMF = Ground & Marine Fuels) is an easy to use test kit for microbial contamination in diesel and marine fuels with simple to read, reliable results. A small sample of fuel is added into a bottle containing a specially formulated gel. The test bottle is then placed in a warm location and the number of microbial colony forming units (CFU) that develop indicates the severity of the contamination.

Each test is packed in a box including:

• 1 single MicrobMonitor GMF test.
• 1 sterile sampling container.
• 1 sterile disposable dispenser for measuring fuel sample.

Tests are supplied in sleeves of 5, however there is currently an MOQ of 10 sleeves of 5, so 50 tests.

Assesses the presence and extent of bacterial and fungal contamination in ground and marine fuels in storage, distribution and use, including:

• Marine Diesel & Gas oil
• Automotive Diesel & Gasoline, Including Biofuels
• Heating Oils & Fuels for Power Generation

Product Features:

• Designed for use with today’s marine and diesel fuels, including biofuels and biofuel blends.
• Optimised for simple testing with easy to understand results.
• Quick and easy to use on-site.
• All you need to take the sample and perform the test is included – no additional equipment needed.
• More economical than standard laboratory tests.
• Indicates the severity of any infection not just the presence of microbes as with “go, no-go” tests.
• Detects even at low contamination levels to give early warning of potential problems.
• Detects active growth of moulds (including Hormoconis resinae), yeasts and bacteria.
• Also detects microbial spores – these can be an important indicator of contamination status when testing fuel samples which do not contain water.
• Unaffected by biocides or other fuel additives; does not give false positives in the presence of dead microbes so can assesses the effectiveness of biocide treatments quickly.
• MicrobMonitor GMF uses the same CFU technology as laboratory standard test methods IP 385 and ASTM 6974.
• The number of CFU indicated by MicrobMonitor GMF provides an assessment of the extent of microbial contamination in the tank or system. CFU counts have been shown to provide one of the most reliable indications of tank contamination status.
• Unlike some other technologies, MicrobMonitor GMF can provide reliable indication even when no water is available for test.
