Hygiena's MicroSnap platform bridges the time gap between ATP and bacterial culture results with convenient, 8-hour or less tests for E. coli, Coliform, Enterobacteriaceae, and TVC.

MicroSnap tests are read by the EnSURE monitoring system and results are recorded with SureTrend software. EnSURE measures both ATP monitoring and organisms tests, enabling food and beverage processors to acquire an accurate status of plant hygiene and product quality during the same working day or shift. Knowing test results sooner prevents recalls, reduces waste, shortens hold time, and enables a quicker response when contamination issues arise. The test uses a novel bioluminogenic test reaction that generates light when enzymes that are characteristic of viable bacteria react with substrates to produce light. 

MicroSnap E. coli is a rapid test that detects and enumerates E. coli bacteria. 

MicroSnap Coliform is a rapid test that detects and enumerates of Coliform bacteria. MicroSnap Coliform detects:

• E. coli 
• Klebsiella
• Citrobacter
• Enterobacter

MicroSnap EB is a rapid test for detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae (EB) bacteria. MicroSnap Enterobacteriaceae detects:

• E. coli 
• Klebsiella
• Citrobacter
• Enterobacter
• Serratia
• Shigella
• Salmonella
• Yersinia 

MicroSnap Total delivers TVC test results in 7 hours, giving you the advantage of knowing microbial levels on the same day samples are collected. (AOAC-RI Performance Tested Method #031501).

The light generating signal is then quantified in the EnSURE luminometer. Results are available in 8 hours or less, depending on the required level of detection. 

Benefits: 

• Result in 6 hours for enumeration - quantitative results (CFU counts)
• Results in 8 hours for presence/absence - qualitative results
• Pass / Fail result at required detection levels are easy to understand
• Equivalent results to other culturing methods
• No specific sample preparation required
• Independently validated

Specifications:

• Applications: environmental and product testing
• Built-in pipette for easy sample transfer
• Snap-Valve™ technology - snap & squeeze
• Write-on swab label
• Detects down to 1-10 CFU in 8 hours
• AOAC-RI approved. License #071302

• NOTE: Requires the EnSURE luminometer (Cat. #621-905-11) and the Enrichment Swabs (Cat. #622-025-07,#622-025-09 or #622-025-10) for use.
