Hygiena tests backed by AOAC-RI

Hygiena has received backing for two of its rapid diagnostic tests from the AOAC Research Institute.

MicroSnap Coliform and E. coliswab tests detect down to 1-10 organisms in eight hours or less and delivers presence/absence results in eight hours and/or enumeration results in six hours.

MicroSnap is a two-device test platform consisting of an enrichment device and detection device used for product and/or environmental testing.

They are measured with Hygiena’s EnSURE monitoring system, a luminometer capable of measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP), Total Viable Count (TVC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and acid phosphatase (ACP) swab tests.

The tests received Performance Tested Method Validation (Certification Number 071302).
