MICROSNAP™ COLIFORM

MicroSnap™ Coliform

MicroSnap™ Coliform is a rapid bioluminogenic test method for the detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria, giving actionable same-day test results. 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™ Coliform detects the specific microorganism, light is emitted and measured with a Hygiena™ luminometer. Results are stored and tracked with SureTrend™ Cloud software for further data analysis and trending.

Key Benefits

• Same-Shift Results
• Reduce Costs
• Easy-to-Use Format
• Works with Filtered Samples
• Works with EnSURE™ Touch and SureTrend™ Cloud

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 and 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 and Easy-to-Use Format

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 Hygiena™ luminometer, which means no tedious colony counting necessary. Use the RLU to CFU conversion table to determine the outcome. Microorganism testing has never been easier.

Complete Hygiena Monitor Program

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

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.

MicroSnap™ Enhanced Nutrient Broth

MicroSnap™ Enhanced Nutrient Broth is a non-selective protein solution. The 9mL 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).
