  • Detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1

Lp sg1 is the causative agent in the vast majority of Legionnaires' disease cases; other sg's rarely cause infection outside hospitals – and almost never cause outbreaks. Positive Lp sg1 results are a significant risk that demands a quick response.

  • Can detect both dead and living cells

Traditional methods only detect cells which are still alive at the sample point and survive transportation. Even then, not all viable cells will grow under artificial laboratory conditions (Viable but non culturable cells). Positive results indicate that is growing somewhere in the system.

  • Field test not a laboratory test.

The flexibility of being able to perform the test virtually anywhere avoids transportation costs. Whilst laboratory test enable 3rd party accreditation – the field test enables you to take action now.

  • Culture provides a 'quantitative' result

Since there is no agreed “safe” level of Legionella, all 'positives' generally result in the same action. Any positive needs corrective action.

  • f screening cooling and process water for Legionella pneumophila” KWR

2009.004 (May 2009)

Key Findings:

  • Diagnostic sensitivity 80% - similar to other legionella tests in water / human samples
  • No cross reactivity with other common water borne bacteria (at typical concentrations)
  • Robust – to typical chemical, pH, biocide and temperatures found in water systems
  • Detects all 10 subtypes of Legionella pneumophilla serogroup 1
