Kit Description


Specific kit for the qualitative, rapid and specific detection of Legionella pneumophila in samples of water for human use, hot water, mineral water, water from cooling towers.

Legionella are present in natural and artificial aquatic environments: spring waters, including thermal waters, rivers, lakes, mud baths, etc.

From these environments they reach artificial ones such as city pipes and building water systems, such as tanks, pipes, fountains and swimming pools, which can act as amplifiers and disseminators of the microorganism, creating a potential risk for human health. The Legionella genus includes several species and serogroups, but not all have been associated with cases of disease in humans.

The environmental matrices that are generally used for the detection of Legionella in environmental samples are: water, sediments, and biofilms. Furthermore, the risk of exposure to Legionella it is also possible in the workplace and requires the implementation of all appropriate safety measures to carry out the most complete prevention and protection activity towards all the subjects present considering that the * ISS – Guidelines for the prevention and control of legionellosis  **Patent Licenses WO 00/28082, WO 01/34790, WO 01/77317, WO 02/24902, WO 01/34838  *** Patent for industrial invention no. 0001425753 of 09.11.2016

The Kit is composed of

Reagents

To perform rapid DNA extraction and specific gene amplification with LAMP technology

BADGE (RFID)

Contains all information relating to the kit, including the lot number and expiration date

TABLET WITHIN ICGENE APP

With real-time results of Campylobacter spp. detection in analyzed water samples

RAPID BIOMOLECULAR
ANALYSIS

Automatic interpretation of results

The system allows for automatic interpretation of results, real-time visualization, and online availability. Sigmoid curves corresponding to positive (+) samples indicate the presence of Legionella pneumophila. Straight lines indicate that the analyzed samples are negative (o) for Legionella pneumophila.
