MICA Advance Legionella represents a breakthrough in rapid microbial testing technology, offering laboratories a simpler, faster, and more sustainable approach to Legionella pneumophila enumeration. This innovative solution delivers results equivalent to the standard ISO 11731 method while significantly simplifying the testing process.

Traditional methods can be time-consuming, taking up to 10-14 days to deliver results. Diamidex's MICA Advance Legionella offers an easy-to-use, efficient solution that streamlines the testing process without compromising on accuracy or compliance.

Simplified Workflow

• Automated counting system processes multiple samples per hour.
• Reduces technician handling time from up to 25 to less than 4 minutes per sample
• Eliminates need for additional verification steps

Effortless Implementation: MICA Advance Legionella integrates seamlessly into existing laboratory workflows. The procedure is straightforward, utilizing familiar Pasteurian methods, which means your lab personnel require minimal training to get started. The simplicity of the five-step protocol allows for quick adoption without disrupting current operations.

Automated Counting with No Confirmation Steps: One of the standout features of MICA Advance Legionella is its fully automatic counting capability. The MICA Advance counter eliminates the need for manual counting and confirmation steps, reducing the potential for human error and freeing up valuable technician time. This automation ensures consistent, reliable results every time.

Rapid Results Without Compromise: While traditional methods require extended incubation periods, MICA Advance Legionella accelerates the process dramatically, delivering high-quality results after just 48 hours of incubation. This rapid turnaround is achieved through a non-destructive method that detects microcolonies using advanced imaging technology, significantly reducing the incubation period without sacrificing accuracy. 

High Throughput Capacity: Designed with efficiency in mind, the MICA Advance counter can handle up to 18 analyses at once, making it ideal for laboratories with high sample volumes. It can perform up to 500 analyses in an 8-hour shift, boosting overall productivity and allowing your team to focus on other critical tasks.
