One-day food bacteria test

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Established laboratory-based
procedures to measure
bacterial contamination
of foodstuffs can prove to
be a lengthy and costly
process. With this in
mind, Hygiena
International has further
developed its ATP
bioluminescence system
to specifically measure
bacterial contamination,
giving results within a
working day. The
development involves its low cost but
highly sensitive EnSURE hand-held
luminometer, combined with the
versatile MicroSnap Total test.

This system enumerates bacteria in
raw, cooked and liquid
foodstuffs as well as on
solid surfaces such that
results are available in seven
hours or less.

The system has been
successfully launched at
the IAFP (International
Association of Food
Protection) in Europe and
the USA as well as the
UK-based Food Safety
Management Conference
in July 2012.
