Overview
The Legionella Field Test Kit is for detecting Legionella in a water sample
It is ideal for field and a variety of industrial applications.
The test operates via a Lateral Flow Immuno-Chromatographic Assay
(LFICA).
Each Systems Test Kit contains the following:
• 10 Individually foil -wrapped tests -- each contains an
exact volume pipette
• 10 Sterile Sample Bags
• Instructions for use
This test is intended for analysis of water samples only. This product is
not intended for clinical or medical diagnostic use.
The product is intended to be used as part of an overall water treatment,
management, and risk reduction approach and should NOT be used as
the sole method for assessing risks associated with Legionella bacteria.
Test Operating Limits
The test has been evaluated under laboratory conditions to operate effectively within
the limits described in the table below. Use outside of these tolerances requires the
use of a Postitive and Negative Control Kit (call for details).
Test Parameter / Unit Lower Limit Upper Limit
Sample Temperature 10ºC / 50ºC 45ºC / 113ºF
Test Temperature 10 ºC / 50ºC 45 ºC / 113ºF
pH 5 10
Free Chlorine (ppm) 0 5
A wide range of non-oxidizing biocides and biodispersants have been checked for
cross reaction and inference with the test. This test should not be used on sys-
tems treated with biguanide or THPS based biocides!
Performance of the test with samples other than those taken from Cooling Towers,
Domestic Hot & Cold water systems and Whirlpool spas has not been established.
Disposal
Used test products may be contaminated with bacteria and should be
disposed of in accordance to local laws. The test cannot be reused or
recycled. The packaging materials and this instruction manual can be
recycled.
Storage
The test is intended for storage at room temperature. Do Not Freeze. When stored
correctly, the test will continue to operate within design specifications, until the
specified expiration date. Do not use the test after the stated expiration date
specified on the packaging, Do not use any test where the foil packaging is
damaged.
