The Micro-Snap Detection Swab for Coliforms is a rapid test for enumeration of Coliforms. Also available for E.coli (
ATP-EC100). This is a 2 step procedure and results are obtained in 7 hours. Swab a 10 x 10 cm area with the Enrichment Swab (Sold separately, Part#:
ATP-ES100) or prepare a suspension and transfer to the Enrichment swab as per instructions and
incubate for 7 hours. After incubation, transfer 100ul from the Enrichment Swab (
ATP-ES100) to the fill line on the Detection Device. Activate Detection Device with a snap and a squeeze.
Incubate for 10 minutes at +37C. Insert the Detection Device into the
SystemSure Plus or
EnSURE meter and interpret the results. The System uses a novel bioluminogenic test reaction that generates light when enzymes that are characteristic of specific bacteria react with specialized substrates to produce light. The light generating signal is then quantified in our
SystemSure Plus and
EnSURE Luminometers.
