When water quality hits the headlines, response time matters as much as accuracy. Diamidex, a company focused on rapid culture-based microbiology, is hosting two free 30-minute webinars that unpack the science behind its MICA™ platform - showing how faster readouts can fit routine laboratory workflows without abandoning CFU counts.
Webinar 1 - Accelerate your E. coli testing with 6-hour results
E. coli remains the key indicator organism for drinking and bottled water, yet conventional culture workflows often take a full day or more. Diamidex’s MICA Advance® approach pairs a CCA workflow with automated detection to deliver CFU results in 6 hours, with capacity for up to 18 samples in parallel. The session focuses on the microbiological principles, the practical steps in the workflow, and where same-day decisions can meaningfully reduce risk.
E. coli (6 h CFU): Thu, 25 Sept 2025 — 17:30 CEST. Register
Webinar 2 - The next step for Bioburden testing in water: the science behind MICA Highlight® TVC
TVC is a workhorse metric - but a scientifically demanding one. Because laboratories must account for a broad diversity of microorganisms, traditional methods can require several days of incubation and painstaking manual counting. MICA Highlight® is designed to provide culture-based TVC results from 24 hours, with automated enumeration to reduce subjectivity. This webinar explores the research choices behind the method and how expectations differ across use cases:
- Bottled & tap water: tracking total microbial load as an early-warning quality signal, alongside targeted tests.
- Bioburden initial assessment (ISO 11737 contexts): understanding starting load to size sterilization correctly for medical devices.
- Water as raw material: cosmetics and non-sterile medical devices, where consistent microbial quality supports product safety.
- High-purity water: electronics and sensitive processes, where uptime and process performance are paramount.
TVC (from 24 h): Tue, 30 Sept 2025 — 15:00 CEST. Register
