Thermo Scientific™ Legionella Latex Test

Use this latex agglutination test for the identification of predominant Legionella species grown on plated media from patients with suspected Legionellosis or from environmental sources. The test allows separate identification of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and serogroups 2-14 and detection of seven other Legionella species which have been implicated in human disease.

Blue latex particles sensitised with antibody agglutinate in the presence of specific Legionella cell wall antigens to form visible clumps.
