Detection of Legionella bacteria in your hot water installations

Legionella (Legionella pneumophila) is a bacterium found in:

• freshwater streams
• wetlands
• aquatic environments
• cooling towers
• decorative fountains

The bacterium is responsible for acute pulmonary infection caused by the inhalation of contaminated water aerosols. It develops under specific conditions, thriving in a temperature range between 20 and 60°C. Below 20°C, it struggles to reproduce, while above 60°C, it does not survive.

Although there are more than 50 species of Legionella, only a few are serious for humans, including Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 1, which accounts for more than 97% of reported cases in France.

We offer you a solution to prevent the risk of Legionnaires' disease, even if this bacterium is invisible!

The Hydrosense PRO Legionella Detection Kit

The test kit is capable of detecting Legionella Pneumophila SG 1 to 15 at any stage of the bacterium's life cycle, including the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) stage, which laboratories are unable to do.

This test is ideal for:

• Public spaces
• Complex water systems
• Verifying the effectiveness of chemical and/or thermal treatments
• Perfect for hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, swimming pools, and spas. Discover where to use the Hydrosense PRO test
  

The advantages of the test kit:

• Results in just 25 minutes
• Advanced lateral flow testing technology: Lateral flow is a rapid testing method where the liquid (in this case, a water sample) moves along the strip to reveal a result
• Capable of detecting Legionella levels as low as 100 CFU
• Easy to use (performed directly on site, without the need for a laboratory)
