According to the company, the Dynabeads Max Legionella provides a rapid and highly reliable sample preparation process, improving the method used, and result achieved, for the detection and quantification of legionella.
In addition to the legionella test kit, Invitrogen offers similar Dynabead-based systems – better known as immunomagnetic separation – to isolate pathogenic organisms such as E coli O157:H7, salmonella, listeria, cryptosporidium and giardia from complex samples.
Jim Janicki, vice president of applied markets at Invitrogen, said: “By quickly and reliably isolating only the legionella organism, Dynabeads Max Legionella streamlines the procedures for legionella surveillance and has the potential to change the market.”
