TQM offers rapid early warning detection kits for Legionella so you can act quickly to protect your business
What is Legionella?
Legionella is a bacteria which can cause a pneumonia-like disease called “Legionnaires’ Disease”. Legionnaires’ Disease is fatal in approximately 15-20% of people infected with the bacteria. Infection occurs when the bacteria is inhaled from aerosols of contaminated water. Under the right conditions, Legionella bacteria can double in number every 90 minutes, meaning that a very low level of bacteria could become thousands of times higher in one or two days.
About Rapid Detection Tests
Our Legionella test kits use an immunochromatographic assay to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria in a sample. This rapid test is a very useful addition to periodic laboratory culture tests for Legionella. It should not be used as the sole method for assessing the presence of Legionella. If results with this rapid test indicate the presence of Legionella, then confirmation with a laboratory culture test is essential. Learn more about our line of rapid early detection test kits.
