The Hydrosense Rapid Legionella test is a revolutionary on-site testing kit that can detect the presence of Legionella bacteria in water systems within 25 minutes.
The test detects all Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15 and uses our unique filtration step together with the well-established Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology, which is the same technology used in Covid and pregnancy tests.
In a remarkable innovation, the test is a three-line test which isolates the bacteria and distinctly identifies the presence of serogroup 1 on one test line and 2-15 on another, providing key information instantly to the user .
The test is highly sensitive and can detect Legionella levels of 100 CFU/L (0.1 CFU/ml). It also provides action levels at 1,000 CFU/L (1 CFU/ml) and 10,000 CFU/L (10 CFU/ml)
Our premier and comprehensive Legionella testing solution, perfectly suited for diverse water sources. This one-time-use kit stands out for its exceptional coverage. Leveraging innovative Hydrosense filter technology, our kit ensures precise bacteria detection by filtering the water sample effectively. Exceptionally reliable, it is the go-to choice for areas at increased risk, including cooling towers, water storage units, decorative fountains, shower systems, basins, as well as spa and swimming facilities.
Sensitivity: 100 CFU/L
Shelf Life: 6 - 18 months from date of manufacture
Ultra part number: 500500
Facilitates the sampling of biofilm, the common habitat for Legionella pneumophila growth, making it an effective tool for identifying the source of infection. The process involves collecting a sample through swabbing areas where biofilm accumulates. This method is highly recommended for evaluating surfaces in environments such as cooling towers, water tanks, sinks, showers, misters, sprinklers, air washers, and humidifiers, among others.
Sensitivity: 200 CFU per swabbed area
Shelf Life: 18 months from date of manufacture
