ALS supports routine monitoring, one-off investigations and larger programmes across a wide range of water systems and environmental matrices. Select a service area below for further information.
ALS provides culture analysis for the isolation and detection of Legionella bacteria, supported by purpose-built laboratory facilities and experienced specialist teams.
Legionella PCR may also be available where a more rapid analytical option is required. Our technical team can help determine whether culture, PCR or a combination of methods is most appropriate.
Dedicated teams focus on Legionella, potable water, healthcare water, environmental water and specialist biological analysis.
ALS also applies MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry to support the confirmation and identification of bacterial colonies within validated microbiological methods. This can improve laboratory efficiency and provide additional identification information for clients.
Our technical specialists contribute to national and international expert groups, helping ALS respond to changing methods, regulation and emerging microbiological concerns.
