Legionella Rapid Test Kits
Legionella Testing
- Detects Legionella pneumophila directly
- Giving a result on site in as little as 25 minutes, with no lab culture wait
- Simple, no reagents or interpretation needed
- Collect a sample, apply it to the test strip, and a red test line means positive
- Choose your sensitivity
- The Field Kit is a fast, basic screening test, while the filtered Industrial and Syringe kits detect down to 100 CFU/L
- Built for industrial systems
- the Industrial Kit connects directly to a shower head or on-line sample point (½" and ¾" fittings supplied) and uses system pressure to filter the sample, with no pump needed
- Pre-filled recovery buffer syringes and single-use filters
- mean no measuring or diluting
- Water and surface testing both covered
- the Swab Kit tests surfaces and biofilm, where Legionella often proliferates more than in the water itself
- Supports L8 monitoring compliance
- the kits are designed around HSE L8 guidance for weekly and monthly Legionella control checks
