Assess new microbial detection technology
Participate in the Airbus in-service evaluation of BugCount® Fuel
Test, compare and collaborate
Help advance the future of fuel testing
Operators across the Airbus global fleet are already participating in a collaborative evaluation of Bugcount® Fuel – Luminultra’s rapid microbial testing tool for aviation fuel.
This Airbus-supported program allows you to:
- Trial the system at no cost
- Assess results in real-world operational settings
- Contribute to future Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) recommendations
How the evaluation works
Participating is simple and fully supported.
- Use Bugcount® Fuel in the field: Run tests on a range of aircraft and fuel samples to reflect everyday operations.
- Compare results to a current AMM-listed method: Use Bugcount® alongside your standard microbial test method to evaluate accuracy and
reliability. - Submit findings to Luminultra and Airbus: Your data supports broader analysis and evaluation across the Airbus fleet.
Shape the future of fuel maintenance
Why your participation matters
Your operational feedback contributes to industry-wide progress in microbial detection.
- Get early adopter pricing: All participants gain access to exclusive pricing once trials conclude, ensuring your team stays equipped with the latest technology.
- Influence future standards: Your data plays a role in potential AMM inclusion – helping set the next generation of aircraft fuel maintenance protocols.
