Contains all the items required to perform 4 tests (2 water samples and 2 biofilm tests).
Designed to test for Legionella in both water and biofilms in risk areas identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, such as showers, industrial and domestic water systems, spas and bathtubs. Uses an immunochromatographic assay to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria in a sample. The presence of antigen causes the “Test Line” to turn red in colour. The filtration step concentrates the Legionella bacteria to achieve a sensitivity level of 0.01 CFU/ ML in water samples, and a sensitivity of 0.02 CFU/ML in biofilms.
The LegionellaMAX Test Kit uses an immunochromatographic assay to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria in a sample. The presence of antigen causes the “Test Line” to turn red in colour. A “Control Line” is included which will always turn red if the test has been performed correctly.
Bacteria Detected | Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 |
Detection Method | Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay |
Lower limit of detection | 100 CFU/L for water samples and 200 CFU/L for biofilms |
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.
Legionella pneumophila serogroups 4 & 7 cross react with the test at concentrations > 6×10⁹ CFU/L. The test does not react with any other L. pneumophila serogroups or L. species tested. |
|
Test volume | 100 μL |
Suggested Sample Volume/Area | 250 mL (water samples) / 10 cm² (biofilms) |
Parameter | Sample should filter in less than 10 minutes (water samples). Resuspension of the bacteria should be done in 2 mL of recovery solution. Shake the tube for at least 20 seconds (biofilms). |
Test volume | 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, didecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride, isolthazoles, dibromonitrilopropionamide, ionic and non-ionic surfactants. The test gives a false positive if used with polymeric biguanide or THPS. | |
Operator time | 5–10 minutes |
Test time | 25 minutes |
