Fast results – as fast as 25 minutes In-line self-testing of surfaces Easy to use Ideal for showers, water taps and bathtubs The test contains all the items required to perform 5 tests. Results are easy to read on site within 25 minutes. This test is designed for testing Legionella on any surface of water systems such as hot and cold water domestic systems, showers, whirlpool spas, bathtubs, etc. The test allows the concentration of the Legionella bacteria to achieve a sensitivity of 200 CFU/L. Pre-filled vials containing recovery buffer, no need to measure or dilute solutions. The test is simple to use, with no interpretation required. Minimizes delays and downtime. Regular use increases confidence in your Legionella control. App reader provides independent record of test (Hydrosense Legionella available on the App store). The Legionella field testing swab kit uses an immunochromatographic assay to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria in a sample. The presence of antigen causes the “Test Line” to turn red in color. A “Control Line” is included which will always turn red if the test has been performed correctly. Bacteria detected Legionella pneumophila serogroup Detection method Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay Lower limit of detection As low as 200 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 , which is higher than found in most water samples. Legionella pneumophila serogroups 4 & 7 cross react with the test at concentrations > 6×109 CFU/L. The test does not react with any other L. pneumophila serogroups or L. species tested. Test volume 100 μL Sample parameters Resuspension of the bacteria should be done in 2 mL of recovery solution. Shake the tube for at least 20 seconds. Biocides The product has been tested with a range of common biocides and biodispersants used in Legionella control, at their normal maximum operating concentration. Active ingredients tested include: glutaraldehyde, didecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride, isolthazoles, dibromonitrilopropionamide, ionic and non-ionic surfactants. The Test gives a false positive if used with polymeric biguanide or THPS. It should not be used to test such systems. Operator time 5 minutes Test time 25 minutes Shelf life At least 6 months from date supplied, when stored at room temperature (<30 °C) in original packaging. All test strips are hermetically foil-wrapped with a printed expiry date.
