Approval for bacteria test
22 October 2013
The novel MicroSnap test for Coliform and E. coli from Hygiena has been certified by the AOAC Research Institute’s Performance Tested Methods Program.

MicroSnap is a novel rapid detection system based on the utilisation of specific substrates linked to a light emitting reaction. It is claimed to be the only microbiology test to give results in eight hours or less using a simple, low cost, portable, instrument platform.
Certification by the AOAC Research Institute means that customers can use the test with confidence knowing that all claims are independently verified against strict validation criteria and international reference methods. The rapid results enable food and beverage processors to get actionable information in the same working day, enabling cost savings and increased productivity through faster risk assessment and positive release of sensitive products.
