Fast and specific detection of Legionella spp.
and Legionella pneumophila

Item Number: 01230005

Lab analysis: detection of Legionella – Colony confirmation

All suspicious colonies are specifically tested for Legionella and L. pneumophila in one analysis.

Results will be provided within the next working day after sample receipt.

Qualitative or quantitative detection?
Qualitative detection

Which method is applied?
The reliable VIT® gene probe technology.

Which requirements are important?
Colony verification on agar plates: Mark all colonies that are to be identified distinctively on the agar plate and indicate their number on the sample submission form.

 

For a direct, quantitative analysis please choose Rapid and specific quantification of Legionella or Rapid and specific quantification of Legionella pneumophila.
