The company Biotics, located in Espaitec, has installed LEGIOLAB® to monitor the concentration of Legionella into the water automatically in eight EWK cooling towers of the Alicante airport. LEGIOLAB® It is the only system on the market capable of detecting and quantifying in situ the concentration of Legionella in the water automatically.
The product LEGIOLAB® is a avant-garde element of innovation, which works at the installation site, remotely, without human intervention in the entire process, from sample collection to the result, integrated into the SCADA control network. Developed by Biotica, LEGIOLAB® represents the digitalization of rapid determination of Legionella.
The use of LEGIOLAB® allows you to determine the Legionella infective in less than two hours, compared to approximately ten days for the conventional laboratory method. Allowing a immediate risk assessment at the facility, to adopt the appropriate measures and avoid infections; protecting people's health.
La Legionella It is a bacteria transmitted by aerosolized water in many facilities. It causes pneumonia called legionellosis, which is fatal in one in ten cases, and in up to one in four cases in a hospital setting. The use of LEGIOLAB® eliminates the cost associated with the collection and transportation of samples, the need for re-tests, unnecessary cleaning and disinfection actions, shutdown of the facility, sanctions and discredit, and also reduces the costs associated with medical care.
