DEXX will be demonstrating Pseudalert – a test which facilitates the rapid identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in hospital water systems.
The product was launched in 2014 after a pan-European study demonstrated Pseudalert was compliant with the requirements of the Health Technical Memorandum 04-01 (HTM 04-01) Addendum water testing guidelines for P. aeruginosa. Pseudalert uses an innovative Bacterial Enzyme Technology to identify P. aeruginosa, giving either a presence/absence, or a quantified result, in 24 hours. This is half the time taken by traditional laboratory culture methods which need a minimum incubation time of 48 hours.
