International Certification of Biótica’s MP4-Hunter system for its quick detection test of Legionella, Legipid

20 May 2013 No Comments

The AOAC international certification has validated Biótica’s MP4-Hunter. The system developed by the company settled at the Science Park in the Universitat Jaume I enables to perform up to 40 Legionella tests per analyst in an hour. The Legipid® Legionella Fast Detection Test achieves this speed thanks to an analysis technique based on capture and disclosing that enables to detect the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the water without making it grow.

“Unlike classical process that is based on culture of the organism and needs around ten days to get results, the Legipid test takes just one hour to undertake 40 determinations per analyst, which provides an important flexibility to laboratory operation and results in significant cost savings for laboratories and users”, according to Guillermo Rodríguez, Biótica’s scientific director.
