MICA Ultra Bioburden — Project supported by the ERDF

Diamidex is developing MICA Ultra Bioburden, a next-generation process for the detection and enumeration of total microbial flora in water and non-alcoholic beverages. This project is supported by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund), a European Union programme that supports innovation and economic development across European regions.

Detect and count microorganisms within 24 hours, where current methods can take up to 7 days.

Diamidex is developing MICA Ultra Bioburden, a next-generation process for the detection and enumeration of total microbial flora in water and non-alcoholic beverages. This project is supported by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund), a European Union programme that supports innovation and economic development across European regions.

By combining several breakthrough technologies, MICA Ultra Bioburden will make it possible to directly assess bioburden on a Petri dish — without separating the membrane from the culture medium — in just 24 hours, with reliability equivalent to reference methods.

Recognized field expertise

This project builds on proven know-how: Diamidex already markets rapid detection solutions for water testing worldwide, targeting pathogens such as Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Alicyclobacillus.
