AquaScreen® is a complete Water test system combining preparation module with PCR analysis for the detection of pathogenic legionella.
AquaScreen® is an in vitro test system for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of water pathogens like Legionella pneumophila and Legionella species. It also combines a sample preparation module with PCR analysis. The system allows highly sensitive analysis of water samples.
* AquaScreen® FastExtract is a novel system for high-throughput applications based on the same test principle, which allows a rapid filtration and extraction of DNA. It is especially recommended for strong contaminated water samples.
Sample Preparation Module
The sample preparation module performs the water filtration, the lysis of the precipitated microorganism, the DNA extraction as well as the purification and elution of the DNA in minimal volumes under conditions which are optimal for the subsequent PCR analysis. The PCR testing can be accomplished by conventional PCR with agarose gel evaluation or by real-time PCR for legionella quantification.

Components for the AquaScreen® System
Starter Kits with all required components for the complete AquaScreen® System:
Filtration Unit, Extraction Kit for 15 applications, reagents for 25 PCR reactions.
Extraction Kits contain sample preparation consumables, including filter membranes, DNA binding membranes, buffers, spin columns and DNA receiving tubes.
PCR Analysis
The AquaScreen® PCR system is a test for the qualitative and quantitative detection of Legionella spp. and Legionella pneumophila in water samples. When using the Legionella Detection Kit for Conventional PCR, the amplified PCR product is approx. 240 bp long and can be rendered visible directly in the agarose gel. The real-time PCR variant is designed such that the specific target probe emits fluorescent light at 520 nm.
