MEASUREMENTS: WHAT IS BEING MEASURED
Hydrosense Test
It makes the best use of Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology. It detects and finds out the disease’s antigen using antibodies comprising of red nanoparticles. It is same as pregnancy test and detects only legionella antigen.
PCR Test
It is commonly known as Polymerase Chain Reaction test. It is used and applied in molecular biology. It helps in finding out and determining the presence as well as quantity of the organism’s DNA in given samples.
Lab Culture Test
It separates, isolates, and eventually quantifies culturable cells of this Legionella disease.
RECOVERY RATE FOR LEGIONELLA LABORATORY TESTING METHODS
Hydrosense Test
It has a recovery rate of more than 80%, whereas the culture method has the same of 55%.
PCR Test
The recovery rate is 90%, but needs careful investigations to assure risks.
lab Culture Test
This test shows a recovery of 65%.
SPEED
Hydrosense Test
It is very fast and detection can be done within 25 minutes.
PCR Test
It takes 24-48 hours, especially if shipping to the lab is concerned.
Lab Culture Test
This testtakes 7-14 days for accurate results.
DETECTION of VIABLE BUT NONCULTURABLE BACTERIA
Hydrosense Test
Legionella enters viable and focuses on survival but remains in the nonculturable state.
The viable nonculturable bacteria can harm because of its resuscitation to the culturable cells.
Here the bacteria is detected using DNA. PCR Test
VNBC bacteria can also be detected.
Lab Culture Test
It has no methodology and technique to detect legionella disease in a non-culturable state.
