INDUSTRIAL LEGIONELLA TEST

The Universal Rapid Legionella Test Kit is a breakthrough in technology for the on-site rapid detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1. This versatile kit can be used for testing cooling towers, hot and cold water systems, showers and more.

 

LEGIONELLA CONTROL

The Universal Rapid Legionella Test Kit uses an immunochromatographic assay to detect within 30 minutes the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1.

 

The presence of the antigen in the water causes the “Test Line” to turn red in colour. A “Control Line” is included which should always turn red if the test has been performed correctly.

 

The kit includes 5 tests and has been designed to test waters to a sensitivity of 100 CFU/L. It is ideal when access to laboratories is impractical or speed is imperative.


Use to supplement your existing sampling programme. The kit should not replace routine laboratory analysis.

Product details

  
Bacteria detected Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1
Detection method Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay
Lower limit of detection Up to 100 CFU/L (0.1 CFU/mL)
Specificity

Tested against a wide range of waterborne bacteria, including Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Burkholderia cepacia, Citrobacter freudii, Citrobacter koseri, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Ralstonia pickettii, Raoultella terrigena, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Yersinia ruckeri. No cross reactions observed at concentrations > 109 CFU/L.

Staphylococcus aureus has been observed to cross react with the test at concentrations > 108 CFU/L.

Legionella pneumophila serogroups 4 & 7 cross react with the test at concentrations >109 CFU/sample. The test does not react with any other L. pneumophila serogroups or L. species tested.
Test volume 100 μL
Suggested sample volume 250 mL
Sample parameters Sample should filter in less than 10 minutes.
Biocides The product has been tested with a range of common biocides and   iodispersants used in Legionella control, at their normal maximum perating concentration. Active ingredients tested include:   lutaraldehyde, didecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride, isolthazoles, dibromonitrilopropionamide, ionic and non-ionic surfactants.  The test gives a false positive if used with polymeric biguanide or THPS.
Operator time 10 - 30 minutes
Development time 25 minutes

Shelf life

 18 months from manufacture when stored at room temperature (<30°C) in original packaging.
