This Legionella testing solution detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1, the cause of over 90% of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks and is ideal for guidelines dictating action for 1000 CFU/L and above.

A simple test to conduct, it can be carried out by anyone in any setting as minimal training is required. It provides accurate results in just 25 minutes.

The kit includes visual step by step instructions and includes a visual reference to indicate the level of infection via a Hazard Index scorecard.

Perfect for cooling towers, water storage units, decorative fountains, taps, showers, spas, swimming facilities, and more.

Features:

The test detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 by using our unique filter to trap any bacteria present, paired with Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology (same technology used in Covid-19 and pregnancy tests). The test isolates the bacteria and distinctly identifies the presence of serogroup 1 (sg1) on a test line with a control line to confirm the test has worked effectively.

This information enables the user to identify the presence of Legionella pneumophila sg1 risk, supporting immediate remedial action. Results are delivered onsite meaning no long waits for lab culture reports.

This test can detect Legionella pneumophila sg1 levels of 1000 CFU/L (1 CFU/ml).

HIGH SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY:

The Hydrosense ONE Lateral Flow Test Kit successfully detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 with high sensitivity and specificity, maintaining a high detection level when combined with the filtration kit provided (1000 CFU/L for a 100 ml sample).

VERSATILE TEST CONDITIONS:

Displays robustness under varying conditions without compromising results.

NO CROSS-REACTIVITY:

Demonstrates no interference from other common waterborne bacteria or non-pneumophila species of Legionella.

TOLERANCE TO WATER CONDITIONS:

Performs reliably even in hard water and high alkalinity conditions.
