rqmicro's first commercial test enables the rapid detection of Legionella bacteria in water. Legionellosis (Legionnaires’ disease) is a severe respiratory disease. Further products enable the rapid detection of E. coli bacteria and the determination of total microbial load (intact cell count, total viable count) in water.
