Legionella
We can help with all your Legionella needs. We can analysis samples from a range of sources including potting mix, building water and cooling towers. We can assist with your Legionella risk management plans, water safety plans and can evaluate new disinfection or treatment options.
We can perform all the standard Legionella and water quality analytical techniques as well as some in house developed methods which have increased sensitivity and provide a greater understanding of all the Legionella populations present.
