GeneSystems - Legionella PCR Quantification Legionella spp Legionella pneumophila

Pall GeneSystems Legionella quantification solution

The solution for water network managers

Keeping Legionella levels down in water networks is an every day industrial challenge. Pall GeneSystems offers the right tool to make it easy.

With a quantification result of Legionella spp and Legionella pneumophila in 3 hours, the GeneDisc® solution enables you to:

Prevent signal increase
Stabilize your installations
Measure and Optimize your maintenance actions efficacy.

Simply keep your Legionella levels down with the GeneDisc Legionella method on site or through a service laboratory.

How does it work?

1 - Mapping of the network with GeneDisc Legionella testing

Locate the proliferation zone in the network
Target maintenance action
Identify critical points

2 - Monitoring of critical points with simple interpretation of the results

Based on the results of an independent international study, Pall GeneSystems recommends the following algorithms:

Cooling Towers

                       [Legionella pneumophila]
Alert level              1. 104 GU/L
Action level           1. 106 GU/L

Hot and Cold Water Systems

                       [Legionella pneumophila]         [Legionella spp]
Alert level             1. 104 GU/L                         5. 104 GU/L
Action level           1. 106 GU/L                         5. 106 GU/L

Pall’s GeneDisc® technology can deal with a wide range of throughput and may be installed onsite or may be used through service labs. Please contact us for a list of service labs available.

To calibrate your qPCR systems, you may use the official DNA standard produced by the French National Reference Center for Legionella (see attached poster). To have more info on standard DNA, you may contact and place order to the Legionella National Center of Reference
