Introducing Viable Legionella vPCR

The Legionella Testing Revolution has ARRIVED!

Culture Legionella methods can take a week or more to be reported back to the customer. This can cause a critical delay in establishing a remediation protocol and returning a building to full use after a shutdown. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) rapid testing for Legionella has been available for many years, but PCR does not distinguish living from dead Legionella leading to potential false positives that require a culture to confirm, resulting in the same costly delays.

EST has an answer!

The Speed YOU Need!!

Viable Legionella vPCR!!

Our viable Legionella PCR Test provides you with LIVING Legionella counts in a little as 4 HOURS! This is living Legionella only, no false positives due to dead Legionella, no need to confirm with culture. This analysis will provide you the quickest most reliable confirmation sampling for Legionella allowing you to quickly proceed with remediation or reopening of your building.

But wait, there is more!

Next Day or Same Day Turnaround available

The test is offered with two different turnaround times allowing for additional information to be combined with this analysis.

NEXT DAY results are reported as Positive for Legionella pneumophila at the limit of detection (LOD) as described above reported on the next business day. There is an option with this analysis to also request a Next Day Total Bacteria Count and/or a Next Day Pseudomonas aeruginosa screening.

SAME DAY results are reported as Positive for Legionella pneumophila at the limit of detection (LOD) as described above and are reported 4 hours after receipt in the Laboratory.

Why wait a week for your viable Legionella culture results?
