The company Biótica has installed LEGIOLAB® to monitor the concentration of legionella in water automatically in eight EWK cooling towers at Alicante Airport. LEGIOLAB® is the only system on the market capable of automatically detecting and quantifying the concentration of legionella in water in situ.

LEGIOLAB® is a cutting-edge element of innovation, which works on site, remotely, without human intervention in the whole process, from sampling to the result, integrated in the SCADA control network. Developed by Biótica, LEGIOLAB® represents the digitalisation of the rapid determination of legionella.

The use of LEGIOLAB® makes it possible to determine infective legionella in less than two hours, compared to approximately ten days for the conventional laboratory method. In this way, it allows an immediate evaluation of the risk in the installation, in order to adopt the appropriate measures and avoid contagion, thus protecting people's health.

Legionella is a bacterium transmitted by aerosolised water in many installations. It causes pneumonia called "legionellosis", which is fatal in one out of ten cases, and in up to one out of four cases in hospitals. The use of LEGIOLAB® eliminates the cost associated with sample collection and transport, the need for re-testing, unnecessary cleaning and disinfection, facility downtime, penalties and discrediting, and also reduces the costs associated with medical care.

**About Biotica**

Biótica is an Innovative Technology-Based Company (EIBT) that develops rapid techniques for microbiological detection and quantification, based on the combination of recognition molecules with advanced nanomaterials.

LEGIOLAB®, the product developed by the company, is applied in a wide range of public and private facilities such as hotels, hospitals, water parks, companies, airports, health centres, residences, sports complexes, spas, and many other buildings and infrastructures.
