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

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 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. Contact us to learn more about how to use MicroSnap™ Enrichment Broth 2mL for large volume filterable liquid testing.

Complete Hygiena Monitoring 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 the 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 a contamination event.

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).
