With MICA Highlight, we provide a culture-based solution for filterable matrices that helps laboratories obtain earlier readable results while keeping familiar workflows in place.
For water applications, MICA Highlight provides readable results from 24 hours at 36°C and 48 hours at 22°C. For soft drink applications, MICA Highlight is dedicated to Total Viable Count of spoilage microorganisms/spoilage flora, with readable results from 48 hours at 25°C.
A key advantage of the method is that it fits naturally into the laboratory’s existing membrane filtration workflow, helping laboratories move faster without changing their routine microbiology logic.
MICA Highlight TVC combines several practical benefits for routine use:
- Automatic Enumeration
- Culture-based Results in CFU
- No Extra Reagent
- Non-destructive Analysis
- LOD of 1 CFU Per Membrane
Beyond speed alone, our goal is to help laboratories make earlier decisions and take earlier corrective actions. By automating microcolony enumeration, MICA Highlight TVC also helps reduce the variability associated with manual interpretation, improving repeatability and confidence in day-to-day testing with affordable analyses.
For laboratories looking to standardize rapid TVC workflows across multiple matrices, MICA Highlight TVC offers a clear advantage: one platform, one operating logic, and two application areas - water and soft drinks.
With MICA Highlight TVC, we help laboratories see sooner, act faster, and stay culture-based.
