✈ 🦠 Unveiling the Sky-high Risk: Legionella Contamination in Commercial Aircraft Systems 🦠✈ Michele Treglia et al., (2022) conducted an extensive examination of #Legionella contamination in the water and air-conditioning systems of commercial aircraft from 2007 to 2021, encompassing a diverse range of 126 aircraft models. The study revealed that nearly half, approximately 45%, of the aircraft tested positive for Legionella during the investigation period! This significant finding underscores a concerning public health issue, given the potential transmission and infection risks associated with airborne pathogens for passengers and crew members alike. The results underscore the critical need for stringent and regular monitoring measures, systematic decontamination practices, and consistent maintenance standards within the aviation sector. By meticulously implementing robust cleaning and disinfection protocols and adhering to routine maintenance procedures, airlines can effectively mitigate the risks of Legionella contamination in aircraft systems. These proactive strategies play a crucial role in enhancing passenger safety, reducing microbial threats, and sustaining a hygienic and secure air travel environment for all individuals on board. By prioritizing comprehensive preventive measures, the aviation industry can uphold elevated health and safety standards and ensure a comfortable and safe travel experience for passengers and crew members.

📢 Publication of our latest research on MICA Legionella  Our team’s latest research paper, focusing on Diamidex’s MICA Legionella solution results on domestic hot water and compared to the French reference method NF T90-431, has been published on the Journal of Microbiological Methods. Its conclusions? The results of MICA Legionella are equivalent to that of the standard French method NF T90–431 on real domestic water samples. 🔬 We ought to remind you that in the field of microbiology, and science overall, communication and marketing must stay second to actual research. New and innovative technologies are to be recognized only if they show actual results and Diamidex is first and foremost a team of scientists devoted to the scientific method.  A study written by Fanny Marie Passot, SABINE PESLIER, Sam Dukan and Audrey Dumont 📄 For more details, please read the full publication here: https://lnkd.in/dEsPXCqq #Microbiology #Research #Innovation #Science #WaterTesting #Legionella

After adopting our MICA Legionella solution, the Dubai Central Laboratory (DCL) keeps on pioneering the use of our solutions in the #GCC Region. DCL is currently testing our MICA Advance Legionella solution. If MICA Legionella was meant to reduce testing time from two weeks to just two days, MICA Advance Legionella aims to vastly improve the efficiency of the solution, enabling up to 500 analyses per day. We must again thank DCL for their support and to our distributor MQore Technical, Mehtap Sen, and Marcianito Morales Jr. for their invaluable assistance. We also appreciate the participation of Farida Mohammed Al Amadi, Fatma Hassan Al Obaidly, Ahmed Dawood Ali ALazzawi, Amna Obaid Jemei, Shaima Ali Hassan Albalooshi, Buthaina AlBishr and Badriya Ali Haji from DCL. #WaterSafety #Microbiology #Innovation #Legionella #Diamidex #GCC #Dubai #DubaiMunicipality #DEWA #DCL #RMM #GCCRegion 

Laura Boczek and Hodon Ryu from the Office of Research and Development Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took the opportunity to try our MICA Advance Legionella solution. During Brew 2.0 by The Water Council, Diamidex and EPA met in Milwaukee for a demonstration of our solution and the potential of a beta-test period. The MICA Advance Legionella beta-test is an opportunity for any company or laboratory to try our solution free of charge before making any purchase decision. For the Environmental Protection Agency it would be a way to assess if our new Legionella enumeration solution could enhance public safety at a large scale and we hope they take this opportunity Even with the best solutions on the market, it is important for us to push the boundaries and ensure our solution tally with the needs of each client, with a personalized counter and personal monitoring directly on our platform. If you are interested in our solution, be sure to contact us to begin a beta-testing program directly on our website: https://lnkd.in/gghBe7ip #Legionella #healthrisk #sanitary #microbiology #innovation #Watercouncil #RMM

As the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) is nearing its end, we must prepare for the next big event in line: the Brew Water Council. We will attend this event taking place in Milwaukee starting next week, june 26th (BREW 2.0 Water Technology Accelerator – The Water Council) to meet actors on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. ️ ️🌎 We already had the occasion to meet members of The Water Council, Dean Amhaus, CEO, and Stacy Vogel Davis, Comms Director, during the first day of the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) and we can’t wait to be there to expand on those subject matter. 💬 As such, we have finished preparations for Brew by sending an extra MICA Counter to the United States. It is not just our CEO Sam Dukan who is traveling ! But he will be there as Diamidex representative even before the start of the water council to meet companies and laboratories interested in our solutions. 🛥️ Being able to open discussions with companies, scientists and laboratories across the world is the best opportunity we could have hoped for, and we are eager to meet those of you who will attend Brew next week. 🤝 #Brew #WaterCouncil #Milwaukee #Diamidex #Water
