SuperSnap® High Sensitivity ATP Test

This video demonstrates the proper use of SuperSnap®, Hygiena®’s most sensitive ATP test. SuperSnap detects extremely low levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and serves as a tool for allergen cross-contamination prevention. It is compatible with SystemSURE Plus and EnSURE® luminometers.

Key Features of SuperSnap:

  • Liquid-stable chemistry ensures consistent and accurate results.
  • Patented snap valve technology simplifies activation and mixing.
  • Pre-moistened swab maximizes sample collection and recovery.
  • Shelf life: 15 months (refrigerated) / 4 weeks (room temperature).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Sample Collection

  • Use a SuperSnap test device and a SystemSURE Plus or EnSURE luminometer.
  • Swab a 4x4 inch (10x10 cm) area in a crisscross pattern with even pressure.
  • Apply pressure to flex the swab shaft for maximum sample collection.
  • Avoid touching the swab shaft to prevent contamination.
  • Rotate the swab tip to ensure thorough sample collection.
  • Replace the swab in the tube; it can remain unactivated for up to four hours.

2. Activation

  • Turn on the luminometer and select a programmed test location (if applicable).
  • Hold the SuperSnap device, then break the snap valve by bending the bulb.
  • Squeeze the bulb to release the liquid into the tube and shake for five seconds.

3. Measurement

  • Insert the swab into the luminometer’s read chamber and close the lid.
  • Hold the luminometer upright and press OK to start measurement.
  • Results will be displayed in 15 seconds.
  • Used SuperSnap devices can be recycled.
