Microbiologically-induced corrosion (MIC) caused by Acid-Producing Bacteria (APB) poses a significant threat in environments such as oil and gas production, processing, and storage. Monitoring and controlling these microorganisms are crucial to preventing the structural damage resulting from their metabolic activities.
Application:
The Sani-Check APB Test Kit offers a rapid and straightforward solution for the detection of Acid-Producing Bacteria, providing results within 24 hours when strong acid producers are present. This semi-quantitative system includes tubes of culture media specially designed to foster the growth of acid-producing bacteria.
Convenience and Shelf-Life:
Each culture tube within the test kit represents one test, eliminating the need for syringes and simplifying the testing process. As acid production occurs, the culture medium changes color from red to yellow, with the duration of color change (1-5 days) reflecting the level of acid production. Detailed instructions for accurate quantitative interpretations accompany each test kit.
Technical Support:
The test kit is optimized for an incubation temperature of 30°C and requires 1-5 days for incubation to yield reliable results. When stored within the temperature range of 40-75°F, the kit maintains a shelf-life of 4 months, ensuring product integrity and efficacy for your testing requirements.
