MicroSnap

A test family for quantitative control of indicator-organism groups using enrichment and bioluminogenic detection. Total, Coliform, E. coli and Enterobacteriaceae address different questions and must match the matrix and approved procedure.

Quick decision

Is this test right for your control programme?

Consider it when

Food laboratories that need indicator-organism results within the working shift

We clarify before quoting

Matrix and sampling point, target, decision threshold, test volume, compatible reader, control points, frequency and approved procedure.

Another test may be better when

The matrix, analytical target, required limit, time to result, readout format or approved procedure differs.

Best suited for

Food laboratories that need indicator-organism results within the working shift

Capabilities and controlled parameters

MicroSnap Total: quantitative total viable count in about seven hours
MicroSnap Coliform and E. coli: quantitative results in about six hours for stated matrices
MicroSnap EB: Enterobacteriaceae control; time and range depend on the selected protocol
Workflow covers sampling, enrichment/incubation, transfer to the detection device and reading on EnSURE Touch
AOAC-RI validated applications are available; verify the certificate scope for the exact test and matrix
MicroSnap measures a viable target group after incubation and is not the same as a routine post-cleaning ATP swab

LabLog

Implementation considerations

Test implementation starts with the matrix, sampling point, analytical target and decision rule. Before supply, LabLog checks reader and consumable compatibility, control requirements, frequency, training, storage and result documentation.

How LabLog supports the project

01Define the matrix, sampling point and target
02Check the decision threshold and applicable method
03Agree the reader, tests, controls and stock level
04Prepare storage, training and a working instruction
05Verify a trial cycle before routine use
