Technical Information Overview The Legionella Systems Test Kit is for detecting Legionella in a water sample -- it is ideal for on-line and a variety of industrial applications. The test operates via a Lateral Flow Immuno-Chromatographic Assay (LFICA).

Test Procedure Fit Sample Point Identify the water system to be sampled and an appropriate location from which to obtain a representative sample. Large systems may need to be sampled and tested at multiple locations. Attach the sample point adapter to the point in the system to be tested. It is recommended that a sample point adapter be fitted and retained to each sample point to avoid cross contamination. The sample line pressure should not exceed 6 bar (87 psi).

Test Procedure, continued. Interpreting the Results Positive Results: A positive test result indicates that Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 bacteria were present in the sample above the detection limit. The test does not differentiate between viable (living) and non-viable (dead) organisms. The test will detect viable but non-cultruable bacteria which are not detectable by traditional laboratory techniques. A positive result does not necessarily mean that viable bacteria are present.
