HydroSense Legionella Industrial Test Kit
SKU: HS 100182
Supplier: HydroSense (view all products)
The Industrial test kit includes a sample connection point that easily installs into standard plumbing fitting. The sample point can be left in-situ for convenient repeated tests.
Similar to the Single Syringe Test Kit it is highly sensitive thanks to the filtration step. The sample point supplied allows water samples to be easily obtained from plumbing connections provided in installations including: industrial cooling towers, large water systems in hotels, residential and commercial properties. It can also be used in showers.
Technical Info
Highly sensitive test
Sample Type: water sample obtained by connection to pipe fitting
Sample Volume: 250 ml
Sensitivity: 100 CFU/L
Pack Size: 5 Tests
Less than 10 minutes filtering and 25 minute test
Specificity
The test has been shown to be non-reactive with the following bacteria (at 1×108 organisms per sample):
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Aeromonashydrophila subsp. hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Burkholderia cepacia, Citrobacterfreudii, Citrobacterkoseri, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiellaoxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Ralstoniapickettii, Raoultellaterrigena, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Yersinia ruckeri..
Staphylococcus aureus and Legionella pneumophila serogroups 4 and 7 in samples at concentrations higher than 1×108 organisms per sample may produce weak positive results. These concentrations are higher than would be expected to be present in normal water samples.
Legionella pneumophila serogroups 4 & 7 cross react with the test at concentrations >109 CFU/sample. The test does not react with any other L. pneumophila serogroups or L. species tested.
Biocides
A wide range of non-oxidizing biocides and bio dispersants have been checked for cross reaction and interference with the test.
The test should not be used on systems treated with biguanide or tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS) based biocides
