Hygiena MicroSnap® Indicator Organism Tests involve a two-step test procedure; first, a short incubation period that facilitates the recovery of bacteria, then, a detection step. After incubation, a small amount of enriched solution from the Incubation Device is transferred to Detection Device, activated, incubated for 10 minutes, and then measured with the EnSURE™ Touch.
- MicroSnap® Total delivers same-day total viable count (TVC) test results
- MicroSnap® EB is a rapid test for the detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae (EB) bacteria
- MicroSnap® Coliform is a rapid bioluminogenic test method for the detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria with same-day results
- MicroSnap® E. coli is a rapid test for the detection and enumeration of E. coli bacteria
The tests use a novel bioluminogenic test reaction that generates light when enzymes that are characteristic of viable bacteria react with substrates to produce light. The light-generating signal is then quantified with a Hygiena® luminometer. Depending on the required level of detection, MicroSnap MicroSnap® EB and MicroSnap® E. coli are able to give same-day results.
