The Legiolert Test—more accurate results you can count on

Trust the Legiolert liquid culture test to deliver more accurate and consistent test results.

Traditional spread plate methods often miss or underestimate Legionella in potable and nonpotable water samples.¹
Six peer-reviewed studies evaluating over 1,000 samples demonstrate Legiolert Test’s improved accuracy.^2-7
More accurate testing results mean less risk and faster remediation for your customers.

Request the Legiolert liquid culture test from your laboratory.
