LuminUltra - Model GeneCount -Cube Legionella Testing System

The Cube is your essential field-testing platform

Combined with the Legionella test kit, the GeneCount® Cube thermocycler offers a simple-to-use qPCR testing protocol for on-site water testing. The portable device can be operated by anyone with minimal training and at any location where water quality is a concern.

This eliminates the need to ship samples and wait for lab results, enabling users to take immediate action, thereby minimizing costs and downtime while protecting public health.

The GeneCount® Cube and its specialized test kit employ advanced qPCR technology to quantify Legionella bacteria in your sample. qPCR testing is the gold standard for fast, accurate identification of specific microorganism targets of concern. It works by amplifying small amounts of DNA extracted from a sample using thermal cycling. During this process, the DNA is duplicated in multiple cycles, allowing for the quantification of target microorganisms in real-time, providing precise measurements of microbial contamination levels.

Key part of the LuminUltra product portfolio

The GeneCount® Cube allows clients to perform fast and simple on-site Legionella testing, making it a critical component of a comprehensive microbial testing strategy. LuminUltra’s GeneCount® family of qPCR testing solutions can provide a more holistic view of microbial contamination within water systems, which includes addressing critical concerns like microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC).

Clients have the flexibility to choose between our mail-in testing services or invest in larger thermocyclers like the Voyager and Q-96, which offer increased throughput for high-volume testing needs in a lab-based environment.
