This accreditation represents the single most comprehensive and widely recognized international credential in our field. With 10+ years of experience conducting qPCR analysis; and the first commercial laboratory in Canada to offer L. pnuemophila by qPCR over 7 years ago, you can be confident that your Legionella and qPCR samples are being analyzed by the leaders of the industry. In addition to our Lab’s position as Canada’s leader in laboratory analysis for Legionella, they are consulted by the government and trade associations during the drafting of new policies. In 2013, our lab was commissioned by the federal government to write the analytical component of Public Works and Government Service’s MD 15161 – 2013 “Control Of Legionella In Mechanical Systems Standard For Building Owners, Design Professionals, And Maintenance Personnel. This guidance document is now the gold-standard for buildings in Canada.
