Hydrosense Swab Test Kit is intended for sampling surface biofilms. Instead of testing a water source you simply swab the area to obtain the biofilm sample. Hydrosense provides an ultra-fast Legionella testing solution which helps facilities to test for the most dangerous strain of Legionella bacteria, Legionella pneumophila SG1 which is responsible for almost all the most serious cases of Legionnaires' disease and outbreaks to date.

Legionella grows in biofilms, therefore testing the surface of shower heads, air conditioning units, water tanks, taps, spa pools etc. while paying particular attention to any biofilm deposits, gives a very accurate picture of the condition of your water system. This kit is also very useful for locating the source of infection, which often will be within biofilms. The sensitivity of the kit is 200 CFU/swabbed area.
Why use the Hydrosense Test?

- The rapid test helps you to maintain high service standards and protects you from reputational damage.
- The test helps to reduce public and employee health risk by minimising the time taken to identify Legionella.
- Recording test information while analysing data helps to create a complete picture of Legionella contamination risk and a roadmap to prevent future outbreaks.
