MicroSnap™ Coliform is a rapid test for detection and enumeration of Coliform bacteria. The test uses a novel bioluminogenic test reaction that generates light when enzymes that are characteristic of Coliform bacteria react with specialized substrates to produce light. The light generating signal is then quantified in the EnSURE™ luminometer. Depending on the required level of detection, MicroSnap Coliform is able to give results in the same day.

A new light on microbial detection.
MicroSnap is a rapid bioluminogenic test method for the detection and enumeration of 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 detects the specific microorganism, light is emitted and measured with Hygiena’s EnSURE luminometer. Results are stored and tracked with Hygiena’s complimentary SureTrend software for further data analysis and trending.
No more counting colonies.
CFU
Colony Forming Units
Traditional plating methods utilize colony counting techniques to determine CFU levels. MicroSnap technology derives equivalent CFU values using light detection.

RLU
Relative Light Units
EnSURE displays measurements in relative light units (RLU’s). The RLU number is correlated to colony forming units (CFU’s).

Same-shift results.
The entire MicroSnap test process is complete in less than 8 hours.
Presence/Absence
Sample is collected and enriched at the beginning of the shift and incubated for 8 hours.
Enumeration
Sample is collected and enriched at the beginning of the shift and incubated for 6 hours.
Custom Applications
Faster results for higher detection limits. Contact us for instructions for your specific application.
Flexible for filterable samples.
Testing a large-volume liquid sample for Coliforms? MicroSnap Coliform & E. coli Enrichment Broth is available in a 2mL vial for use with filtered samples, delivering same-day results. Earlier results mean held product can be released sooner, drastically cutting inventory and warehouse costs for beverage processors.
