Legionella pneumophila Kits
Quantify Legionella in less than 2 hours
rqmicro developed these highly specific kits to simplify, accelerate and improve the detection of Legionella pneumophila in aqueous water samples from tap water to samples with highly complex matrices such as cooling tower water. The L. pneumophila Kits present a revolutionary solution for Legionella analysis and thus open a new chapter in the field of pathogen detection and in the monitoring of water quality.

Legionella pneumophila SG1-15 Separation Kit
Separation and purification of target cells for cultivation and other types of analysis
The separation kit efficiently isolates L.p. SG1-15 target cells and at the same time eliminates more than 95% of the competing flora. It thus enables reliable and conclusive results when cultivating cells on agar or using other methods of downstream analysis.
- Tailored to complex matrices such as industrial cooling tower or environmental water samples
- Elimination of 95% – 99% of the competing flora
- No potentially detrimental acid or heat treatment needed
- Reliable results on agar plates
