Hydrosense PRO Ultra Legionella Water Test
)

)
The test detects all Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15 and uses our unique filtration step together with the well-established Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology (same technology used in Covid-19 and pregnancy tests). In a remarkable innovation, the test is a three-line test which isolates the bacteria and distinctly identifies the presence of serogroup 1 on one test line and serogroups 2-15 on another.
This information enables the user to identify and assess the level of Legionella pneumophila risk depending on which serogroup(s) is present in the sample, supporting both reporting processes and remedial action decision making.
This water test is highly sensitive and can detect Legionella pneumophila levels of 100 CFU/L (0.1 CFU/ml). It also provides action levels at 1,000 CFU/L (1 CFU/ml) and 10,000 CFU/L (10 CFU/ml).
VALIDITY OF THE HYDROSENSE PRO TEST
HIGH SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY:
The Hydrosense PRO Lateral Flow Test Kit successfully detects Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15 with high sensitivity and specificity, maintaining a high detection level when combined with the filtration kit provided (100 CFU/ L for a 250 mL sample).
VERSATILE TEST CONDITIONS:
Displays robustness under varying conditions without compromising results.
NO CROSS-REACTIVITY:
Demonstrates no interference from other common waterborne bacteria or non-pneumophila species of Legionella.
TOLERANCE TO WATER CONDITIONS:
Performs reliably even in hard water and high alkalinity conditions.
