Q-PLUS ™ – Legionella spp Detection Kit

Legionella was first identified in 1976 during the 58th annual convention of the American Legion in Philadelphia. This aerobic gram-negative bacillus is spread through aerosolized water particles causing severe pneumonia. Legionella spp. test is an important parameter in the certification of water system quality.

Q-PLUS™- Legionella spp. Detection Kit is an excellent and validated tool for a rapid and highly sensitive of Legionella spp detection. It allows molecular detection of pathogenic Legionella spp in samples previously concentrated, reducing the time of well-established microbiological diagnostic process. Q-PLUS™- Legionella spp. Detection Kit is based on Taqman® probes signaling after the amplification of a specific Legionella target (FAM probe). The kit also includes an Internal Positive Control (ROX probe) for monitoring PCR inhibition and false negative results. Negative Control is used to check the absence of contamination.
