Legionella Industrial Test Kit

Includes:5 Test Strips with Dispensing Pipettes;5 Syringes with Recovery Buffer;Sample Collection Jar;5 single-use filters;Female threaded sample point fitting;Instruction Manual;Carrying Case.Features:Fast, easy and accurate;Results in as little as 30 minutes!Confirms performance of Legionella prevention and treatment protocols;Test Kits available for detecting both waterborne and biofilm Legionella.The test detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (LpSG1).With filtration step, the sensitivity of the water test is 100 CFU/L.The test detects Viable-But-Non-Culturable Bacteria and Legionella SG1 in all stages of its life-cycle.Hassle free sample collection. Simply connect sample point to the water system and use system pressure to drive the filtration process.The kit includes single-use filtration modules.The kit includes pre-filled syringes containing recovery buffer. No need to measure or dilute solutions.The test is simple to use and helps to minimise delays and downtime.The test provides straightforward results, on-site, within 25–35 minutes.Regular use increases confidence in Legionella controls.The Legionella System Test Kit is for detecting Legionella in a water sample - it is ideal for on-line and a variety of industrial applications. This test procedure utilizes hollow fiber filtration modules which attach directly to the provided sample point fittings (both a 1/2" and 3/4" female threaded fittings are provided). The filtered sample increases the sensitivity of the test. This filtration step requires no pumping - just connect the sample point fitting to the water system (such as a shower head or on-line sample point) and use the system pressure to drive the filtration. The pre-filled syringes contain the required recovery buffer, so there is no need to measure or dilute solutions. With results in 30-35 minutes (including sample prep-time), the test allows for immediate understanding and response to the water system conditions. Regular use will increase confidence in your Legionella control procedures and reduce risk of outbreaks and litigation!Legionella is the causative agent of Legionnaire's disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia. Guidelines exist across the world for the control of Legionella. In 2002, the Health and Safety Executive released guidelines for the control of Legionella, known as the L8 guidelines. These guidelines detail the key parameters that should be tested on a weekly and monthly basis to minimise the risk of Legionella proliferating to harmful levels in open water system.The Lovibond Legionella Field Test uses Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria. It uses Legionella antibodies, tagged with red nanoparticles, which bind to any bacteria found in the sample and make them visible on a line on the device. The test works just like a pregnancy test - one line indicates a negative result and two lines indicate a positive result.
