VIRapid® LEGIONELLA CULTURE enables a rapid qualitative detection and identification of the main Legionella groups of clinical importance (Legionella genus, L. pneumophila serogroup 1 and L. pneumophila serogrups 1-15) in a single assay with multitest format. The test can be performed on bacterial culture samples, either from human or environmental origin.

VIRapid® LEGIONELLA CULTURE is a fast, effective and economical alternative to processing positive cultures with a simple protocol and reading time of just 30 minutes. Further features of this test are as follow:

• It allows detection and identification of groups with higher clinical interest in one product (multitests format).
  


• It detects all the Legionella genus species.
  


• Being an immunocromatographic test, it provides a more objective reading than a latex agglutination.
  


• All the necessary reagents are included in the kit. Product control line on each device.
  


• Competitive price.
  


• Based on specific and highly purified MAb (conjugates and lines) to eliminate cross reactivity and maximize the specificity of the test.
  


• 99% sensitivity and 100% specificity average performance*.
  


• Valid for cultures from environmental and clinical samples.
  


• Storage at room temperature.
  


• CE marked (IVD).
