- Legionella
Multiplex qPCR Kit for detection Legionella spp., L. pneumophila sg (1-16) , L. pneumophila sg 1
The
Bio Lp-1 assay is designed to target specific and unique DNA sequences
within the Legionella genome. The PCR products from 4 different
reactions can be detected by specific DNA probes labeled with 4
different fluorophores. This allows the simultaneous detection of all
the Legionella species associated with infection, all the L. pneumophila serogroups (1-16) and specifically identifies L. pneumophila sg-1,
responsible for ~95% human infections. An internal amplification
control is also included in the master mix as an indicator that the PCR
is functioning correctly.
Designed to work on the leading
real-time PCR platforms, Bio Lp-1 rapidly detects extremely low levels
of Legionella, and can differentiate between Legionella spp, all L. pneumophila serogroups 1-16 and L. pneumophila-serogroup 1 simultaneously
in a single water sample, giving a complete and accurate Legionella
profile. With this certainty, the exact risk to public health can be
quickly determined and acted upon. Particularly beneficial in cases of
an outbreak, appropriate remedial actions can be taken, their efficacy
monitored to reduce and remove Legionella bacteria from a contaminated
water system. In less than 5 hours, water quality and safety can be
assured. Simple and convenient to use, and in a freeze-dried format, the
test contains all necessary components to process a water sample
directly.
Bio Lp-1-Legionella multiplex one step qPCR Kit is a diagnostic breakthrough, being the world’s first open platform rapid NAD kit for simultaneously detecting and identifying multiple species of Legionella from water in a single test.
