Hydrosense Pro Ultra Rapid Legionella Water Test (1 test) – 100CFU/L

Description

The Hydrosense Pro Ultra is the next generation in Legionella detection – reliable and rapid self testing for Legionella in approx 35 minutes. The Hydrosense Pro tests for all Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15. Using cutting-edge LFICA technology, the Hydrosense PRO detects serogroups 1-15 with unmatched speed & accuracy:

• Improved Public Health Measures: Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 is most often linked with human diseases, but serogroups 2-15 also play an important role in global health issues. So, testing for all serogroups is important for accurate epidemiological data and the formulation of effective public health strategies.
• Preventing Outbreaks: Testing all serogroups of Legionella pneumophila found in various water systems allows for the early identification and elimination of the bacterium, thereby preventing possible outbreaks.
• Comprehensive Risk Assessment: Detecting all 1-15 serogroups of Legionella pneumophila allows for a comprehensive understanding of the presence and distribution of this bacterium in any environment.

The Hydrosense PRO detects all Legionella pneumophila serogroups 1-15 and uses a unique filtration step together with the well-established Lateral Flow Immunochromatogrhic Assay (LFICA) technology (same technology used in Covid and pregnancy tests). In a remarkable innovation, the test is a three-line test which isolates the bacteria and distinctly identifies the presence of serogroup 1 on one test line and 2-15 on another, providing key information instantly to the user. ​

The Hydrosense PRO is highly sensitive and can detect Legionella levels of 100 CFU/L (0.1 CFU/ml). It also provides action levels at 1,000 CFU/L (1 CFU/ml) and 10,000 CFU/L (10 CFU/ml)*.

How does the test work?

1. Prepare the water sample for testing using the equipment supplied (approx 10 minutes)
2. Wait 25 minutes
3. Read result

(Please note, the PRO ULTRA product can currently not be used with the Hydrosense App.)Suitable for: water collected from any source, industrial as well as domestic hot and cold water systems, including tap, shower, cooling tower, hot tub & pool, humidifier etc. Also suitable to test salt/sea water as long as the water contains normal amounts of salt.Manual filtration enhances sensitivity.

MSDS only required for buffer solution.

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.

• Organism / ≥cfu/mL: L.p Sg-2,3,8,11,13,14 / 1.00E+08; L.p. Sg-4,5,6,7,9,10,15 / 1.00E+07; L.p. Sg-12 / 8.00E+06; S.aureus / 2.00E+08

The Hydrosense legionella pneumophila Sg-1 test has been shown to produce weak positive results with other legionella pneumophila serogroups at the cfu/ml stated in the above list. The Sg2-15 line will show weak  positive results with L. pneumophila Sg-1 at levels > 1x 10e7 cfu/ml.

Biocides: 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, dodecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride, isolthazoles, dibromonitrilopropionamide, ionic and non-ionic surfactants.The Test gives a false positive if used with polymeric biguanide or THPS. It should not be used to test such systems.
