Rapid Legionella qPCR Testing & Standard Culture Test

Feedwater are one of the first laboratories in the UK to provide this technology giving our customers the unique ability to gain results in less than 24 hours. Because this method is not yet UKAS approved we also include a standard legionella culture test which is UKAS accredited the results of which take the standard 10 days.

Guidance for when to test can be found in HSG274 Part 2 page 40. Or in your Legionella Risk Assessment if you are a business. If you don’t have a Legionella Risk Assessment for your site you may be breaking the law. Speak to us today about your requirement for a Legionella Risk Assessment.

How long will results take?

We will start your legionella analysis immediately and send you the testing results for qPCR testing as soon as they are available, usually between 8 – 24hr from receipt of sample. – For the UKAS accredited Legionella Culture test which is also included, it takes at least 10 days to confirm a negative result, positive results will be reported as soon as observed. For this reason, no (early) news is good news.

Unlike other labs which simply give you results, Feedwater, specialise in solving water related problems so we can explain what the results mean and can provide a full range of services to help you resolve your problem.

  • Healthcare premises (Recommended quarterly)
  • Care homes (Recommended quarterly)
  • Domestics where temperatures are inadequate to control Legionella (As Required until problem is resolved)
  • Buildings where biocides are used instead of temperature (Recommend quarterly until control is established)
