• Reduction in labor costs 
• Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines 

1. MICA Legionella
Legionella pneumophila, the major causative agent of the potentially lethal Legionnaires’ disease, necessitates rigorous testing to ensure sanitary or cooling tower water safety. Based on ISO 11731 method, MICA Legionella delivers results in only 48 hours. 

• 1 GVPC plate only per analysis 
• Results in 48 hours compared with minimum 10 days with ISO 11731 
• AOAC Performance Tested Method 

2. MICA Pseudomonas
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often found in water networks or bottled water, requires meticulous testing to prevent human contamination. Based on ISO 16266 method, MICA Pseudomonas delivers results in only 24 hours. 

• No extra reagent needed 
• Results in 24 hours compared with 2-7 days with ISO 16266 

3. MICA Alicyclobacillus
Alicyclobacillus spp., especially guaiacol-positive strains, pose spoilage threats to the beverage industry. Based on the IFU No. 12:2019 method, MICA Alicyclobacillus delivers results in only 24 hours. 

• Detects only Guaïacol positive strains 
• Results in 24 hours compared to 8-14 days with standard method 
• Filterable and non-filterable matrices 

4. MICA Bioburden
MICA Bioburden heralds the future of microbial detection, targeting bacteria, yeasts, and molds in water. Based on ISO 6222, MICA Bioburden delivers results in a maximum of 48 hours at 22°C and 24 hours at 36°C.
