Why test?
BE A LEADER IN HEALTH AND SAFETY
BioAlert's rapid monitoring of pathogen concentrations allows for much more proactive risk management and a significant reduction in the duration of exposure to Legionella. Studies have shown that risk management requires frequent testing to maintain a risk-free system.
Legionnaires' disease requires evidence-based, cost-effective, and anticipatory, rather than reactive, measures.

The industry's only CONTINUOUS MONITORING device.
This innovative device monitors, prevents, and detects the presence of Legionella in water systems to ensure better protection against contamination. It continuously monitors water systems directly at the cooling tower site and also offers a remote control platform designed to manage equipment off-site.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Same-day analysis: Tests are performed and results are returned the same day.
- Continuous sampling: Tests are performed automatically once a day or as per schedule preferences and needs.
- On-site installation: BioAlert Lp15 is delivered and installed by one of our specialists.
- Remotely Controlled: Control test frequency and monitor your data remotely.
- Notification system: An alarm is sent to the owner when the legionella rate is above the intervention threshold.
- Higher Detection Level: Detection level higher than industry standards (>5 GU/mL on a regular basis).
FASTER DETECTION EASIER MANAGEMENT SAFER ENVIRONMENT
qPCR measurement method by amplification of DNA of all harmful serogroups of Legionella pneumophila.
MAIN ADVANTAGES
- Easily manage Legionnaires' disease by applying preventive interventions.
- Avoid epidemics and legal risks.
- Prevent operational shutdowns required by law.
- Validate the performance of your water treatment and reduce the need for decontamination procedures through just-in-time interventions.
- Device connected to the 3G / 4G (LTE) network for real-time management.
- Sustainable solution for a legionella-free environment protecting employees, customers and passersby.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here is a list of questions we receive about our technology and how it affects your infrastructure during installation. We have strived to make the installation and use of BioAlert Lp15 as easy and seamless as possible to ensure the continuous and uninterrupted operation of your water system. Our installation and support team assists our customers throughout the installation and start-up process and remains available to answer any questions you may have.
Do we need to shut down our cooling tower for the installation of the BioAlert Lp15 unit?
No, the equipment's design allows the BioAlert Lp15 unit to be installed without shutting down the cooling equipment. Several installations have been implemented at customer sites without any interruption or modification to their system.
Does a BioAlert Lp15 failure impact the operation of our cooling equipment?
No, the unit's interference-free design ensures there will be no impact to your equipment or process in the event of a BioAlert Lp15 unit failure.
How long does installation and calibration take?
It typically takes 6 hours; the majority of our units have been installed and calibrated in less than a day at our customers' site.
What actually happens during the daily analysis of the BioAlert Lp15 unit?
The device is an artificial intelligence that performs its automated reading according to the user's defined programming. Once the measurement is completed, the device is recharged for the next measurement and communicates the result to the user through the customer's preferred communication method.
If serious contamination is detected, how and when will I be informed?
The BioAlert Lp15 device can be interfaced directly with your internal communications system (SCADA / IIOT) and sends the result instantly. With daily measurements, the result is predictable and therefore eliminates surprises, unlike monthly laboratory tests. The device also has an automated alarm system (via email or text) when immediate action is required.
Are the tests performed by BioAlert Lp15 approved to replace monthly laboratory tests?
No on-site detection equipment is accredited by the RBQ; mandatory monthly testing must be maintained. BioAlert Lp15 allows you to know the water quality before sending your sample to the laboratory and allows you to adjust the treatment to ensure the success of this analysis.
Can BioAlert Lp15 be connected to multiple cooling towers at once and if so, how does the system work in this case?
Yes, BioAlert Lp15 can successfully interface with up to six cooling systems to analyze water quality. The user interface allows for multiple devices to be managed and measurement history to be archived.
What is the impact of using BioAlert Lp15 on my building maintenance staff?
BioAlert Lp15 allows you to better manage your equipment. Thanks to daily monitoring of your system, a simple adjustment of your treatment can control the growth of legionella. Early detection is the best way to combat the proliferation of this bacteria.
Can the BioAlert Lp15 detect other types of bacteria besides Legionella?
Yes, the BioAlert Lp15 can detect most bacteria in water. Using a bacteria-specific consumable extends the device's functionality. Contact us to see if the BioAlert Lp15 can meet your needs.
What is the shelf life of the cartridges and do they require any special handling and storage conditions?
These cartridges have a shelf life of over 6 months in their original packaging. No refrigeration or special handling conditions other than protection from freezing are required.
What would be the approximate delivery and installation time?
Delivery and installation are generally completed 6 to 8 weeks after receipt of order.
What type of after-sales service do you offer?
At BioAlert Solutions, quality after-sales service is part of our mission. We offer all our customers cross-validation in less than 48 hours at an external laboratory. If the level exceeds the established threshold, we assist our customers in resolving their issues. Different service levels are available. Contact us for more details.
Can we visit a customer site where your device has been installed?
We have a demonstration site in Sherbrooke, Montreal, Toronto and New York where interested customers can see the device in operation and speak with the equipment managers to see the real benefits of our product.
