OnSite Legionella Testing’s Filtered Water Test uses Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFICA) technology to detect the presence of cell surface antigens from Legionella bacteria. It uses Legionella antibodies, tagged with red nanoparticles, which bind to any bacteria found in the sample and make them visible on a line on the device. The test works just like a pregnancy test – one line indicates a negative result and two lines indicate a positive result.
