Product Overview

The MicroSnap® test platform consists of an Enrichment Device containing a specific growth medium and a Detection Device containing a bioluminogenic (light-producing) substrate. When MicroSnap® E.Coli / Coliform detects the specific microorganism, light is emitted and measured with a Hygiena® luminometer. Results are stored and tracked with SureTrend® software for further data analysis and trending.

Key Benefits

Rapid contamination screening

Same day microbial testing results: Knowing microbial levels the same day of production means reduced costs and shortened release cycles

Patented Snap-Valve Design:

Ensures all of collected sample is analysed: All of sample stays inside device during activation- a simple thumb and forefinger snap- for safe, accurate detection

Reduces Costs:

Rapid testing reduces material and holding costs: Rapid testing means shorter production hold times, reducing inventory holding costs

Complete Monitoring System:

Devices, test devices and analysis software: A full ATP monitoring solution provides rapid, easily interpretable results with integrated software system

Compatible with EnSURE Touch:

Collect data using EnSURE Touch and analyse in SureTrend: Single system to capture, quantitate, analyse and trend data allows optimization of your EM program

Works with filtered Samples:

Analyse filterable liquids.: Removes interfering substances for accurate detection of contaminating organisms

Why Choose the MicroSnap® Coliform

Same Shift Results:

Rapid test results are essential to releasing product quickly. The MicroSnap^® family of rapid indicator organism tests enables food safety and quality manager to enumerate samples in 6 hours and to determine presence/absence in 8 hours. Simply collect sample, incubate and read with a Hygiena^® Luminometer

Reduce Costs & Shorten Release Cycles:

While sending samples to the lab for PCR analysis can be necessary for a specific application, simpler more cost-effective solutions can supplement your testing protocols. Integrating MicroSnap^® as a rapid indicator test within your testing protocol will reduce material cost, shipping costs and lab fees. Plus, a rapid test also means shorter production hold times and lower inventory holding costs, all leading to more cost savings.

Flexible & Easy-to-Use:

MicroSnap’s efficient design makes microorganism testing flexible and easy. It can be used for both surfaces and samples. Both options use a simple 2-step process: enrichment and detection. Plus, the patented Snap-Valve holds a precise amount of specific enrichment broth, ready to be used for either product or surface samples. Within the enrichment device is a built-in pipette, enabling convenient and efficient transfer of enriched samples to the detection device. The enriched sample is read on a Hygiena^® luminometer, which means no tedious colony counting is necessary. Use the RLU to CFU conversion table to determine the outcome. Microorganism testing has never been easier.

Works with Filtered Samples:

MicroSnap^® Coliform & E. coli Enrichment Broth is available in a 2mL vial for use with large-volume filtered samples and delivers same-day results. Earlier results mean products can be released sooner; thus cutting inventory and warehouse costs for beverage processors. This method is AOAC approved and validated against the EPA method.

Complete Hygiena Monitoring Program:

MicroSnap^® is an essential component within a complete environmental monitoring program. Combine MicroSnap^® with the EnSURE^® Touch and SureTrend^® to capture and trend your test results over time. Use the SureTrend^® dashboard to see how your ATP testing program impacts your microorganism testing and how the two work together to reduce your risk of a contamination event.

MicroSnap® Workflow

We provide a broad range of additional equipment and software for a robust and reliable workflow execution:

Sample Collection (enrichment device)
Incubation
Detection (detection device)
Analysis (EnSURE Touch & SureTrend)

Equipment & Systems

Equipment:

Lab Format Digital Dry Block Incubator:

The lab format incubator (30-70 wells) offers two separate blocks (A & B) each with separate temperature controls and allowing for three separate well configurations

Small Digital Dry Block Incubator:

The small footprint version of the digital dry block incubator is perfect for labs with limited bench-top space and small test volumes (6-12 samples/wells)

Monitoring Systems:

Hygiena® EnSURE® Touch:

EnSURE^® Touch is an advanced cleaning verification and monitoring system that collects, analyses and reports data from various test devices so you can prove the effectiveness of your cleaning programs. For food processing facilities, testing helps monitor the impact of cleaning and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination. In healthcare, it helps optimise infection prevention and lower HAI rates.

Analytics:

Food Safety Data Management:

SureTrend^® is a platform that provides a gateway to actionable insights. It supports data from ATP, rapid indicator, allergen, and PCR tests. The platform provides secure data integration from multiple sources and facilities. Plus, the software’s environmental maps create a bird’s eye facility view to help you identify critical areas and manage and mitigate your risk. Easily review, analyse, and trend-highlighted critical factors and improve your decision-making from anywhere.

Enrichment:

MicroSnap® Enhanced Nutrient Broth:

MicroSnap^® Enhanced Nutrient Broth is a non-selective protein solution. The 9 mL nutrient broth enables low-level enumeration when used with MicroSnap^® Total, MicroSnap^® Coliform and MicroSnap^® E. coli. For milk samples, use with MicroSnap^® Coliform to detect 1 CFU/mL (AOAC RI Performance Tested Method (Certificate #071302).
