Legionella implementation guide
What’s inside:
Legionella bacteria are responsible for the most water-associated disease outbreaks in the U.S. and cases have been increasing steadily in North America over the last ~20 years. Despite this fact, regulations and technologies have been slow to make an impact.
However, newer technologies like qPCR present the opportunity for more proactive detection and control of Legionella bacteria. It’s another valuable tool in the toolbox to reduce Legionnaire’s disease.
Our Legionella Implementation Guide will help you understand how to build a monitoring plan that integrates factors such as testing locations and population risk levels. We also discuss:
- Culture vs. qPCR testing
- Choosing to monitor for Legionella species vs. Legionella pneumophila
- Understanding difference between culture testing results (CFU/mL) and qPCR results (GU/mL)
- Develop a system baseline to determine when action is needed

Costs and consequences of contaminated e-coat fluid in automotive manufacturing
Electrocoating (e-coat) is a cornerstone of modern automotive manufacturing, providing corrosion resistance and a uniform primer layer before painting. However, when the e-coat fluid becomes contaminated, the ripple effects can be severe—impacting product quality, operational efficiency and profitability.

Seeing what other tests can’t: How EPCOR used ATP monitoring to strengthen drinking water operations
For drinking water utilities, keeping biologically stable water all the way to the customer’s tap is a daily challenge. Even with strong treatment processes, changes in temperature, flow, or stagnation can trigger microbial regrowth inside the distribution system. Traditionally, operators have relied on heterotrophic plate counts (HPCs) and disinfectant residuals to flag issues, but these […]
