Description Reliable self testing for Legionella – designed for repeated sampling of the same outlet (5 tests inluded). Not recommended for UK testing – to test for Legionella in water samples in the UK please use Hydrosense One Ultra Legionella Industrial Water Test (5 tests) – 100CFU/L. This kit is designed to align with EU legionella testing standards. Legionella is a bacteria, which can cause a pneumonia-like disease called “Legionnaires’ Disease”. Legionnaires’ Disease is fatal in approximately 20% of people infected. Infection occurs when the bacteria is inhaled from aerosols of contaminated water. Aerosols can be produced anywhere water is splashed or sprayed, but some of the most common sources associated with Legionnaires’ Disease are cooling towers and showers. Breakthrough technology for the rapid detection of legionella – Get accurate on-site results in approx. 35 minutes This innovative test kit allows the easy and quick testing of water; on-site and without training or experience. This Legionella test kit is perfect where a single water outlet requires repeated testing. It can detect 1,000 CFU/L and also gives a 10,000 CFU/L verified Hazard Index rating. Also provided is the unique Hydrosense filter technology, which, when connected via standard plumbing connections (US ½inch NPT and ¾ inch BPT fittings), it isolates the bacteria. The pipe fitting also conveniently connects directly to standard shower hoses. Water can be collected from any source Ideal for high-risk areas such as cooling towers, large water systems in hotels, showers, water tanks, healthcare, residential and commercial properties. Fast & on-site Kit includes everything required to carry out the test Reliable & independent Audit trail: log & report the results using the Hydrosense App No training or expertise required How does the test work? The Hydrosense test detects Legionella antigen using the well-established lateral flow test technology to detect LpSG1 antigen. It works by attaching colour indicators to Legionella antibodies printed on a cellulose strip. Sensitivity: 1000 CFU/L and 10’000 CFU/L verified Hazard Index rating Ultra part number: 100264 What is a Lateral flow test: (LFT) technology has been in medicine for more than 30 years and is a standard type of test for hundreds of different uses: medical, environmental, food, beverage, veterinary and drug detection, amongst others. Does it test for all Legionella bacteria? The test detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (LpSG1), which is the species that causes over 90% of Legionnaires’ disease cases. With filtration step, the sensitivity of the water test is 100 CFU/L. The test detects Viable-But-Non-Culturable Bacteria and Legionella SG1 in all stages of its life-cycle. Hydrosense App – Download the free reader app to store the results to provide an audit trail: Log and report your results with the Smartphone Reader, and get independent verification with the Hydrosense portal. The App makes it easier to read the test accurately. It provides a user with a semi-quantified result by returning a score of “0” for no Legionella detected, or a Hazard Index of “1-10” depending on the concentration of the Legionella found. In addition to the app, there is a visual scorecard included to identify the indicated level of Legionella present. Data collected by the App is automatically synchronised with the Portal. This real-time integration ensures that a track record is kept of all results and helps to identify future trends. Please contact us for bulk orders and if you would like to set up regular testing. We can provide you with a customised quote. Suitable for: industrial process and cooling water systems. Manual filtration enhances sensitivity. Please note: Requires adaptor to be installed by competent person. Not suitable for domestic systems and stored water, including care homes. For these, please purchase the One Ultra Rapid Legionella Water Test (1 test, MPN 100254) which includes a beaker to collect the sample and a syringe to attach to the filter to drive the sample through. Bacteria detected: Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 Sample Volume: 250 ml Sensitivity: 1000 CFU/L plus 10’000 CFU/L verified Hazard Index rating Contains: 5 Tests Total test time: approx. 35 minutes (about 10 minutes for filtering and 25 minute for the results to develop) User instructions in English, French, Spanish, Italian & German. Shelf Life: approx. 12 months from date of manufacture MSDS only required for buffer solution. Please contact us to find out more. Specificity:  Tested against a wide range of waterborne bacteria, including Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Burkholderia cepacia, Citrobacter freudii, Citrobacter koseri, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Ralstonia pickettii, Raoultella terrigena, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Yersinia ruckeri. No cross reactions have been observed at concentrations ≤ 109 CFU/L. Staphylococcus aureus has been observed to cross-react with the test at concentrations > 108 CFU/L, which is higher than found in most water samples. Organism / ≥cfu/mL: L.p Sg-2,3,8,11,13,14 / 1.00E 08; L.p. Sg-4,5,6,7,9,10,15 / 1.00E 07; L.p. Sg-12 / 8.00E 06; S.aureus / 2.00E 08 The Hydrosense legionella pneumophila Sg-1 test has been shown to produce weak positive results with other legionella pneumophila serogroups at the cfu/ml stated in the above list. Biocides: The product has been tested with a range of common biocides and biodispersants used in Legionella control, at their normal maximum operating concentration. Active ingredients tested include: glutaraldehyde, dodecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride, isolthazoles, dibromonitrilopropionamide, ionic and non-ionic surfactants. The Test gives a false positive if used with polymeric biguanide or THPS. It should not be used to test such systems.
