Phigenics announces a peer-reviewed research paper on a large-scale field study that highlights deficiencies of ISO 11731 compared to the novel novel method, PVT VIABLE®

Leave a comment


The study found a 21% discrepancy comparing the ISO 11731 spread plate method to the novel method, PVT VIABLE® (Phigenics Validation Test- Viability Identification Assay by Legionella Enrichment). PVT VIABLE® is a patent-pending method developed by Phigenics that detects viable Legionella bacteria found in building water systems in as little as 72 hours, as opposed to the 7-14 day turnaround time of the ISO 11731 method. The process utilizes the accuracy of PCR and the dependability of enrichment culture in a hybrid assay to detect viable and viable but non-culturable (VBNC) Legionella in a water sample.

Author and inventor Leah Wickenberg states, “Until now, Legionella has been known to exist in the VBNC state, but detection methods were cumbersome. This publication highlights the need to include VBNC Legionella in developing water management programs and provides an accurate way to validate that hazardous conditions are being controlled.”

Phigenics is hosting a free webinar on November 8th for regulatory authorities, epidemiologists, and quality and infection control professionals to learn more about this study and PVT VIABLE®.

Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Leaders of New York for 2023

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Leaders of New York for 2023. Few places in the world match the iconic status and influence of New York. Its hallmark metropolis, New York City, stands as the global epicenter for culture, finance, and media. In 2022, the state achieved a staggering Gross State Product (GSP) of $1.5 trillion, a figure so substantial that it would rank as the eleventh largest economy in the world if it were an independent nation. This economic prominence is attributable in part to the Empire State’s role as the headquarters for over 50 Fortune 500 companies, as well as hosting major financial institutions such as Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Beyond finance, the state’s extraordinary economic diversity thrives in a wide range of industries, including tourism, media, advertising, legal services, fashion, the arts, and much more. Across these various sectors, women are holding high-ranking positions, empowering them to drive enduring transformations in a broad spectrum of fields. Recognizing the evident impact of these female leaders, this year’s honorees feature women who have played pivotal roles in guiding major industry giants like Google, American Express, Goldman Sachs, and Pfizer. Their presence not only fosters diversity and inclusivity within teams but also stands as a source of inspiration for upcoming generations of women to pursue careers in any field of their choice.

Among this year’s honorees is Olamide Ajibesin, a Partner at KPMG’s Deal Advisory & Strategy Advisory practice. Ajibesin, a globally acclaimed dealmaker and finance executive, has successfully overseen over 250 transactions, ranging from middle-market deals to mega-deals exceeding $5 billion. We also recognize Denise Daly, the Director of Communications and Public Relations in Lifestyle Brands and Collaborations at HARMAN International. Daly, the recipient of numerous industry accolades, has skillfully launched over 1,000 products.

Lastly, we extend our honors to Joele Frank, the Founder and Managing Partner of Joele Frank, Wilkinson Brimmer Katche. Over her 30+ year career, Frank has played a pivotal role in more than 3,000 M&A transactions and special situations, earning her a multitude of awards, including a spot on PRWeek’s PR Power List of The 25 Top PR Industry Leaders.

Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top Women Leaders of New York for 2023.
