A rapid, accurate molecular method for detecting Legionella pneumophila and Legionella longbeachae in potable and non-potable water samples with or without enrichment.
The Atlas® Legionella LGN Detection Assay brings speed and accuracy to molecular testing of potable and non-potable water samples for Legionella pneumophila and Legionella longbeachae, the main causal organism of human pneumonia (lung infection) and Pontiac fever. The Atlas® Legionella LGN Detection Assay, which is run on the Atlas System, is designed for testing water resources directly and after concentration without compromising the accuracy to ensure the quality and safety of the water resources. Three different approaches can be performed depending upon the source of water samples:
a. Direct testing (non-potable highly contaminated samples)
b. Filtered water samples without enrichment
c. Filtered water samples with enrichment
The Atlas® Legionella LGN Detection Assay offers unparalleled ease of use while maintaining accuracy and sensitivity. The Atlas® Legionella LGN Detection Assay method was shown to be equivalent to or better than the reference method ISO 11731 (2017). While other methods require tedious multistep preparation processes and time, the Atlas® Legionella LGN Detection Assay has an easy 3-step process that generates accurate results faster:
- Concentrate– a single concentration step of the water sample
- Transfer– no multichannel pipetting, centrifugation, or heating required
- Automate- load the transfer tube directly into the instrument & walk away
