MicroSnap EB is a rapid test for enrichment and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae (EB) bacteria. The 2 step test uses a novel bioluminogenic test reaction that generates light when enzymes that are characteristic of EB bacteria react with specialized substrates to produce light. The light generating signal is then quantified in the EnSURE luminometer.  Results are available in 6 - 8 hours, enabling MicroSnap to give results in the same working day or shift.

Benefits:

• Simple 2 step process
• 6 - 8 hour quantitative results (CFU counts)
• 8 hour qualitative results (presence/absence)
• Broad CFU detection range (0 – 50,000 CFU) means fewer dilutions and less sample prep saving time and money
• Suitable for product or environmental samples
• Uses common microbiology sample preparation for product samples
• Same day results allow for timely corrective action
• In-house testing reduces costs from outside lab fees
• 12 month shelf life at refrigerated temperatures (2 – 8°C)

Sensitivity & Specificity:

• Detects 0 – 50,000 CFU in 6 - 8 hours
• MicroSnap EB detects species within the Enterobacteriaceae family including indicator organisms and potential pathogens
