[company_age]6.0[/company_age][employees]2-10 employees[/employees][funding]Series unknown[/funding][description]BlueLab Wasseranalysesysteme GmbH is a German company that develops and manufactures a highly specialized analysis device for the detection of Legionella in drinking water. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Legionella poses the greatest health risk to humans of all waterborne pathogens. They can cause the potentially fatal disease Legionnaires' disease in humans. In Germany and many other European countries, the Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkWV) therefore legally prescribes the regular testing of publicly accessible drinking water systems, among other things, to protect against Legionnaires' disease. Currently, there is only one approved method for sampling (according to ISO 11731), which may only be carried out by accredited laboratories. The examination is carried out by cultivation and subsequent counting of the germ counts. It can take 10-14 days until the final result of the sampling is available. In addition, the operator does not receive any information about the current condition and potential risk factors in his drinking water system. BlueLab has developed a unique, patent-pending technology. This enables automated on-site testing of drinking water systems for Legionella contamination. At the same time, the system is continuously monitored for risk factors for Legionella proliferation. The technology is permanently installed on site at the monitoring points. The device can be connected to the Internet and the measured values are available from anywhere. This allows the plant operator to obtain an overview of the condition of his water system at any time.[/description][ps]BlueLab Wasseranalysesysteme GmbH develops and manufactures a highly specialized analysis device for the detection of Legionella in drinking water.[/ps]
