Legionellosis prevention is an important part of Bio-Rad’s R&D investment and commitment for industrial control. Regular testing for the presence of Legionella in water supply systems is the only way of preventing the disease. Bio-Rad Legionella testing products will help you find the best way to control Legionella levels in water, biofilm and aerosol samples and actually prevent damage to brand image. Bio-Rad provides a complete and integrated solution for Legionella risk management which is based on iQ-Check real-time PCR technology kits for detection and quantification of Legionella spp. and L. pneumophila.

These products are completed by the Aquadien DNA extraction kit and a complementary range of culture media products for detecting and enumerating Legionella spp. or L. pneumophila. All iQ-Check Legionella real-time PCR kits comply with French standard (AFNOR T90-471). All culture media comply with ISO standards (ISO/DIS 11731-2 and ISO 11731).
