Description

Reliable and rapid self testing for Legionella from Hydrosense.

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 from Hydrosense 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.

  • Highly sensitive test, water can be collected from any source
  • Highly accurate and recommended for high-risk areas such as cooling towers, water tanks, fountains, showers, sinks, spas and pools.
  • 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: 100 CFU/L
  • Ultra part number: 100198

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.
  • 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: water collected from any source, industrial as well as domestic hot and cold water systems, including tap, shower, cooling tower, hot tub & pool, humidifier etc. Also suitable to test salt/sea water as long as the water contains normal amounts of salt.
Manual filtration enhances sensitivity.

Bacteria detected: Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1
Sample Volume: 250 ml
Sensitivity: 100 cfu/l

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.

Hydrosense

Hydrosense Pro Legionella Test Kit Hydrosense Legionella Tests are very fast for detecting Legionella. They use Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology, exactly the same used in COVID and pregnancy tests - giving quick, accurate and reliable results. The Hydrosense Legionella Tests are an easy-to-use, on-site test solution for water and biofilms, that detect Legionella pneumophila sg1 antigen (see One Ultra Range) or sg1-15 (see Pro Ultra Range). All it takes is approx. 10 minutes to conduct the test process and 25 minutes wait for the results.

Hydrosense Legionella

Hydrosense Legionella Water Test Kits offer very sensitive detection limits of 100 CFU/L for the water test and 200 CFU per swabbed area for the swab test. A perfect choice for high-risk industries or in countries where there are stricter Legionella action levels.

Hydrosense ONE Ultra Legionella Water Test: This test can be used on water samples from any source to detect Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (LpSG1). The unique Hydrosense filter, included in the kit, captures any Legionella present in the sample as the water is pushed through it. This is then extracted from the filter into a solution which is dropped onto the test strip.

Hydrosense Pro Ultra Rapid Legionella Water Test. Reliable and rapid self testing of water samples from any source. This  new product is just as easy-to-use and accurate as the ONE Ultra but now detects all Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15.

Hydrosense ONE Ultra Legionella Swab Test: Biofilms are the slimy substance that can be found inside pipework or on surfaces like shower heads, water tanks or pools. If Legionella is present, there is a strong chance it will reside in biofilm. This test kit will quickly and easily sample this substance for the bacteria to detect Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (LpSG1).

Hydrosense ONE Ultra Legionella Industrial Kit: If there is a need to repeat test a single water outlet in high-risk areas like commercial, healthcare and hospitality buildings with large water systems, this test kit would be the ideal choice. The test detects Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 (LpSG1). It includes 5 tests for water sampling and the Hydrosense filter technology is delivered using the plumbing fitting adaptor (US 1/2 inch NPT and 3/4 inch BPT fittings). Simply attach the adaptor and leave it in place ready for future testing.
