Condagene^® Legionella spp qPCR pathogen detection kit is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to detect Legionella in water samples. This kit is designed to detect and quantify Legionella spp. in samples of drinking water and all kinds of (treated and untreated) continental water.

The traditional microbiological method of detection for Legionella is known for being long and tedious. With Condagene Legionella spp you’ll be able to detect this dangerous pathogen in just a day and a half of lab work instead of the average two weeks of the traditional method.

The genus Legionella is formed by pleomorphic gram-negative bacteria. The most well-known member of this genus is the species L. pneumophila, which is the causative agent of legionellosis, also known as Legionnaires’ disease. This disease is a type of pneumonia that can be fatal, especially in unhealthy individuals.
