Hydrosense PRO Ultra: The Forefront of Legionella Detection

Introducing the Hydrosense PRO Ultra, a paramount breakthrough in the world of Legionella testing. Built on the foundations of our renowned Hydrosense ONE test, the PRO Ultra isn't just an evolution – it's a revolution in Legionella detection.

Key Features & Benefits

Extensive Coverage: Unlike its predecessor, the PRO Ultra detects all Legionella pneumophila serogroups from 1-15, ensuring comprehensive safety measures.

State-of-the-Art Technology: Incorporating the well-established Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology – the same technology pivotal in Covid and pregnancy tests – it offers unrivaled accuracy and reliability.

Unique Filtration Step: Our groundbreaking filtration procedure isolates and identifies the presence of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 on one test line and 2-15 on another, delivering instant, critical insights.

Sensitivity Redefined: Detect Legionella concentrations as low as 100 CFU/L (0.1 CFU/ml).

Clear & Intuitive Interpretation: The three-line results area assures clarity and quick deciphering of which serogroups are present.

The Hidden Perils of Legionella pneumophila

This bacterium isn't just any pathogen – it's a master of evasion and devastation.

Intracellular Parasitism: Its ability to thrive and multiply within human lung macrophages allows it to bypass our immune system.

Endotoxin Production: The death of the bacterium leads to a release of endotoxins, escalating lung inflammation.

Advanced Secretion Systems: With the capability to introduce effector proteins into host cells, Legionella sets up a stronghold, camouflaged from immune defenses.

Why is Early Detection Vital?

A glance at these figures underscores the importance:

Over 97% of culture-confirmed cases are due to Legionella pneumophila.

More than 90% of these cases result from the serogroup 1.

For the past 17 years, 100% of US outbreaks were caused by Legionella pneumophila.

Death rates soar between 40-80% in untreated immunocompromised individuals.

Legionnaires' disease claims the lives of 10% of community-contracted cases.

An alarming 25% of those who contract Legionnaires' disease within healthcare settings don't survive.

Given its virulence and adaptability, Legionella pneumophila is an acute public health threat. Our answer? The Hydrosense PRO Ultra. Discovering it quickly means thwarting it efficiently. Our unwavering dedication to public health drives us to deliver only the best. Embrace the future of Legionella detection with Hydrosense PRO Ultra, where modern technology, comprehensive coverage, and precision converge.
