GoTaq® Legionella qPCR and Viability qPCR Kits
Fornecedor: Promega
Reliable detection of Legionella pneumophila in water supplies is important to prevent occurrence of Legionnaires’ disease.
Get same-day results for quicker response and intervention
Selectively amplify DNA from live cells, if desired, to evaluate the effectiveness of disinfection and treatment processes
Identify L. pneumophila or Legionella spp., L. pneumophila and L. pneumophila Serogroup 1 in a single reaction for efficiency
Ships at ambient temperature
Legionella testing is commonly performed using culture-based approaches, which often take 7 to 10 days. PCR-based detection is much faster, but it cannot differentiate between live and dead cells, which can possibly lead to false-positive results. The Legionella qPCR Kits combine the rapid protocols of PCR with the option to discriminate between live and dead cells for fast, sensitive and specific Legionella pneumophila detection. We also offer a multiplex kit that can detect Legionella spp., Legionella pneumophila and Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 in a single assay.
The GoTaq® Legionella qPCR kits have undergone independent evaluation to validate their performance in detecting Legionella species in water samples. This third-party study, conducted in accordance with ISO 12869:2019 standards, assessed assay specificity and DNA recovery. Key findings demonstrate high specificity, robust assay efficiencies, and consistent DNA recovery.
