One Hour Legionella Test Kit Attains Official Approval in Spain and Australia

Water-i.d.’s (Germany) PrimeLab 1.0 photometer  is a 1-hour quantitative (60-106 cfu/l) Association of Analytical Communities (A.O.A.C) approved legionella test that detects only living legionella spp. Regulatory bodies in Spain and Australia recently approved PrimeLab 1.0 as an accepted national method for Legionella testing. This method works with immunomagnetic particles, covered with antibodies and a colour tracer (also containing anti-bodies). This means that incubation is not needed and only living legionella spp. are detected,  thus avoiding incorrect positive readings.

The PrimeLab 1.0 photometer comes with Bluetooth connection and includes free software, App and Cloud service that gives users the capability to test and manage over 120 different methods for water analysis. These different methods can be selected individually making PrimeLab even more user friendly. JENCOLOR sensor technology covers 400 wavelengths (380-780nm) simultaneously, and reagents manufactured in Germany and Britain give PrimeLab optimum accuracy.
