Start of the beta test phase of the MUSA test kit in the “Museum of Five Continents”: a major step in the prevention and management of contamination in museum collections

Our MUSA test kit 1.1 is ready and will be put through its paces in our model houses in March. We are delighted to have reached a new milestone for our project with the start of the beta test phase in the “Museum of Five Continents” and 6 other houses. This phase will provide us with valuable insights into how our test kits perform under different conditions and how we can further customise them to meet the needs of museums, archives and monuments and their collections.

We are looking forward to the coming weeks with great confidence and expect to open our MUSA test kit to an extended user base of beta users who are not part of our model museums in the project in summer 2024.

Our goal is to usher in a new era in the prevention and management of contamination in museums and other cultural institutions. By combining science and innovative technologies, we strive to keep cultural heritage safe for future generations. Our main focus is on protecting the health of everyone involved in handling potentially contaminated collections. The safety and protection of the health of employees in museums and other cultural institutions is our top priority.

Stay tuned for further updates from our 1st beta user test and the results we will achieve together with our model houses.
