Legionella bacteria, in special Legionella pneumorphila
serogroup 1, is a harmful threat with a mortality rate of up
to 30%. Once Legionella is inhaled (droplets in the air),
they grow in human lungs and can cause Pontiac fever or
even Pneumonia (Legionnaire's disease). The issue with
current method (culture) is that it takes up to 14 days to
let Legionella grow on a petri dish to be viable and
countable, which is far too long to take effective
actions.Legipid® on PrimeLab takes a different
approach:
This results in viable Legionella being made visible (pink
colour) to be read by PrimeLab.
PrimeLab detects colour and translates it into the range:
60 - 10⁶ cfu.
As with the culture method 1litre of water is filtered to
catch the Legionella. After releasing Legionella from a
filter, a patented reagent is added which contains micro-
bits with a magnetic core, covered with an antibody. Due
to the antibodies, only living Legionella Sp. (no false
positives!) are captured. After several steps, a colour
tracer, again connected to an antibody, is added to
connect with Legionella Sp., already linked to
the micro-
bit.
The LEGIPID 1-hour Legionella sp. test is one of the
more than 140 different parameter-methods on
the PrimeLab 2.0

Flexible Parameter Setup - Fairplay
Choose from more than 140 parameter-methods
The PrimeLab 2.0 offers more than 140 different parameter-methods, covering the
needs of many different industries. It is rather unlikely that one user will be in need of
all parameters offered.
That's why the PrimeLab practices fair play by giving the user the option to choose
and pay only for those parameters they really need. This keeps the costs down to a
minimum and makes the PrimeLab 2.0 even more convenient to use.
Why pay for more parameters than needed?
As with PrimeLab 1.0, the PrimeLab 2.0 will offer a flexible parameter setup with all
options to upgrade whenever needed.
Even after purchase, the user has the option to activate additional parameters at any
time by just ordering an activation code, to be entered on the PrimeLab 2.0 for instant
activation.
