Laboratory Services
Accredited analytical and microbiological testing for drinking water, wastewater, and process water systems.
Legionella Testing Services
Protect Your System. Detect Legionella Fast.
Legionella control is central to responsible water management. Elixir Labs provides rapid, accurate detection of Legionella pneumophila in cooling towers, potable systems, and industrial water circuits. Our testing program replaces slow, culture‑based methods with modern microbiological techniques that deliver clear, countable results within seven days—without unnecessary complexity or operator variability.
Why Our Legionella Testing?
- Speed and reliability: Faster detection compared to conventional culture methods.
- Compliance assurance: Meets ISO 11731, SANS 893, and ASHRAE 188 standards.
- Operational efficiency: Simplifies sampling and strengthens audit reliability.
- Audit‑ready documentation: Integrated into Elixir Labs’ compliance workflows.
