Materials Needed

• AquaSnap test device
• Luminometer (EnSURE or SystemSURE Plus)
• Water sample

Three-Step Testing Process

1. Collection
   • Equilibrate AquaSnap to room temperature.
   • Shake water sample before testing.
   • Flick AquaSnap downward to release extractant liquid.
   • Remove dipper, submerge in the sample (1–2 sec, no swirling), then return it to the tube.
2. Activation
   • If applicable, select the testing location in the luminometer.
   • Break the snap valve by bending the bulb back and forth.
   • Squeeze the bulb twice to expel liquid into the tube.
   • Shake for 5 seconds.
3. Measurement
   • Insert the test device into the luminometer chamber and close the lid.
   • Hold the luminometer upright and press OK to start measurement.
   • Results appear in 15 seconds.

Disposal

• AquaSnap devices are recyclable and may be discarded in a recycling bin.
