The company Biotics Biochemistry Analytical It is specialized in the rapid detection of legionella through immunomagnetic separation.

Last Friday, January 27, 2017, it took place at the headquarters of the Ministry of Health in Toledo a training day on the rapid Legionella detection technique (Legipid®) based on immunomagnetic separation (SIM). This technique consists of the detection of viable Legionella cells through specific antibodies, managing to detect and quantify the bacteria in just one hour compared to 10-14 days for traditional analyzes through culture.

The analytical units of the Laboratory of the General Directorate of Public Health of Castilla La Mancha, with the Director of Public Health of said community, Mr. Manuel Tordera Ramos, present, accompanied by Mr. Fernando Cebrián Gómez, Head of the Environmental Health Service, Occupational Health and Public Health Laboratories and Mr. Pedro José Fernández Martínez, Coordinator of the Public Health Laboratories of Castilla la Mancha.

The purpose of the conference was to exchange opinions and experiences between the regional government, the laboratory technicians in charge of guaranteeing public health in Castilla La Mancha and the company Biotica, a biotechnology firm located in Espaitec and specialized in the development of rapid tests for detection of pathogens in environmental samples with several products on the market, focused on the early detection of Legionella, as is the case of Legipid® Legionella Fast Detection.

The company Biotics Biochemistry Analytical is specialized in fast legionella detection by immunomagnetic separation.

On Friday 27 January 2017, a training event in the fast detection of Legionella (Legipid®) was held at the Regional Ministry of Health in the city of Toledo, which is a system based on immunomagnetic separation (IMS). This technique consists of detecting viable Legionella cells with specific antibodies to detect and quantify bacteria in only 1 hour as opposed to the 10-14 days that conventional culture tests take.

This training was attended by the laboratory test units of the General Public Health Management of the Spanish Autonomous Community Castilla La Mancha, the Director of Public Health of this community, Manuel Tordera Ramos who, in turn, was accompanied by Fernando Cebrián Gómez, Head of the Environmental Health, Occupational Health Service and Public Health Laboratories, and by Pedro José Fernández Martínez, the Coordinator of the Public Health Laboratories in Castilla la Mancha.

The purpose of this training event was for views and experiences to be exchanged with the Regional Castilla la Mancha Government, the laboratory technicians in charge of guaranteeing public health in Castilla La Mancha, and the company Biótica, a biotechnology firm located at the espaitec Park. Biotica is specialized in developing fast tests to detect pathogens in environmental samples with several products available on the market that offer early Legionella detection. In this case, its product is called Legipid® Legionella Fast Detection.

On January 27, 2017, a training session on the rapid detection technique for Legionella (Legipid®) based on immunomagnetic separation (SIM) will be held at the headquarters of the Department of Health in Toledo. This technique consists of the detection of viable Legionella cells through specific antibodies that allow detecting and quantifying the bacterium in just one hour compared to the 10-14 days of traditional analyzes through culture.

The analytical units of the Laboratories of the General Directorate of Public Health of Castella-la Manxa will attend this training, and the Director of Public Health of this community, Mr. Manuel Tordera Ramos, will be present, accompanied by Mr. Fernando Cebrián Gómez, Cap of Environmental Health Services, Occupational Health and Public Health Laboratories and of Mr. Pedro José Fernández Martínez, Coordinator of the Public Health Laboratories of Castella-la Manxa.

The day will end with the exchange of opinions and experiences between the regional government, the laboratory technicians in charge of guaranteeing public health in Castella-la Manxa and the Biòtica company, a biotechnology firm located in Espaitec and specialized in the development of rapid tests for the detection of pathogens in environmental samples of various products on the market, focused on the first detection of Legionella, as is the case of  Legipid® Legionella Fast Detection.
