MicroSnap Total is a versatile test that may be applied to raw materials, finished products (solid and liquid) and environmental samples. Processors can collect samples at the beginning of a typical 8h shift and get results within 7h to verify product quality or take corrective actions as necessary. High numbers can be detected in as little as 1 to 2h.

Preventative measures to control food safety and quality are recognised by all regulatory agencies and the US FDA Food Safety Modernisation Act places greater emphasis on environmental monitoring for food processors. Accordingly, MicroSnap Total meets the needs of food processors for a rapid, convenient, and affordable environmental microbiology screening test kit. 

MicroSnap Total is a two-device test platform consisting of both enrichment and detection devices. The entire assay is run from start to finish in 7 hours with a 15 second read time. MicroSnap has a large dynamic range which means that material and labour costs of sample preparation and testing are reduced.

MicroSnap devices are measured with Hygiena’s EnSURE Multi-functional Monitoring System, a luminometer also capable of measuring  hygienic status from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), Enterobacteriaceae, Coliform, E.coli, alkaline phosphatase (for dairy pasteurisation), and acid phosphatase (raw meat and fish) test. A video demonstration of MicroSnap Total can be found on Hygiena’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/HygienaTV.
