Water Microbiology

Our comprehensive and sensitive Legionella swab test is designed for testing surfaces and biofilm. The process involves collecting a sample through swabbing areas where biofilm accumulates e.g. shower heads, taps, storage tanks, pipework and the water edge of pools or hot tubs.

Biofilm is the common habitat for Legionella pneumophila. This slimy substance protects this bacterium from heat or chemical treatments.

This method is highly recommended for evaluating surfaces in environments such as cooling towers, water tanks, sinks, showers, hot tubs, misters, sprinklers, air washers, and humidifiers, among others.

Our comprehensive and sensitive Legionella testing solution is designed for water safety. This advanced one-time-use kit uniquely detects all serogroups (1-15) of the most dangerous Legionella species, Legionella pneumophila in just 25 minutes.

Easy-to-use test; it can be carried out by anyone in any setting and requires minimal training. Our visual instructions provide a simple step by step guide.

Ideal for cooling towers, water storage units, decorative fountains, taps, showers, spas, swimming facilities, and more, this solution offers exceptional coverage and reliability. Its unparalleled sensitivity and comprehensive detection capabilities make it the preferred choice for high-risk areas, ensuring the highest level of Legionella detection.

Our Legionella Industrial testing kit is perfectly designed for water outlets needing repeat testing and includes everything needed to complete 5 tests. It uses our exclusive Hydrosense filter technology, enabling the isolation of bacteria through conventional plumbing connections (compatible with US ½ inch NPT and ¾ inch BPT fittings). The pipe fitting also conveniently connects directly to standard shower hoses.

Ideal for use in higher risk areas with water sample points that require frequent monitoring, including industrial cooling systems, extensive water networks within hotels, healthcare facilities, residential buildings, and commercial premises.
