Sectors
The Hydrosense test can be used in a wide variety of sectors. We have customers in almost every industrial sector, including education, food and beverage, hotels and spas, shipping, tourism and leisure, offshore oil and gas, conventional and nuclear energy, hospitals and care homes and many more.
Many of the benefits are the same for each sector, but all have their own particular advantages.
The common benefits are
- The Hydrosense test is fast, simple to use, accurate and can be used anywhere, removing the need to transport a sample to a lab. Effectively you carry the expertise of the lab in your pocket.
- While a positive result is bad news, it is better to know immediately so that you can take remedial action, prevent infection, protect staff and clients and consequently your reputation and business.
- Imagine if your system was infected and you did not know. Without a rapid test, your uncertainty will continue for 10-14 days waiting for laboratory results. During this time you may continue to expose your staff/public or have to shutdown facilities to prevent exposure.
- Once you have taken remedial action you can use the Hydrosense test to check the impact. Hydrosense will let you know in 25 minutes if there is still a problem.
- Effective remedial action should completely remove all traces of bacteria from your system within 24 hours – giving a negative test result on the hydrosense test.
- By detecting antigen, rather than relying on culturable cells the test may give a better warning of Legionella growth within a system.
