Legionella Test Kits

Legionella is a causative agent of Legionnaire’s disease that can potentially cause a fatal form of pneumonia. There are guidelines across the world for the control of Legionella and they detail the key parameters that should be tested to minimise the risk of harmful levels of Legionella in open water systems and water samples.

The Lovibond Legionella test kits are fast, easy and accurate when it comes to using them. The tests take no longer than 35 minutes to receive results from and can be used in various applications. The kits are available for detecting both waterborne and biofilm Legionella and allow for understanding and response to the conditions of the water system.
