The AquaSnap® Free ATP Water swabs don't use the agent on the dipper, like the AquaSnap Total swabs, only detecting free (soluble) ATP in the sample. The difference between Total and Free ATP provides a measure of microbial contamination in the sample. The AquaSnap® Free ATP Water swabs have a honey-comb shaped dipper which is coated with an agent that aids in sample collection and extraction of ATP from microbial and other organic cells. This specifically designed dipper tip collects 100 µl of water ensuring consistent sample collection. Simply collect your sample, activate and place it in your Hygiena instrument for cleanliness results in 15 seconds. These AquaSnap® Free ATP Water swabs contain liquid-stable chemistry in the patented Snap-Valve bulb. The design and unique chemistry eliminate the need to reconstitute lyophilised pellets which enables consistent results.
The High powered chemistry in the AquaSnap swabs is an ultra-sensitive formulation which delivers precise results for low levels of ATP. The AquaSnap® Free's chemistry is resistant and robust to harsh samples or sanitiser effects.
Total ATP Water and Free ATP Water are two different measurements of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a molecule that serves as the main energy source for cells. Total ATP measures all forms of ATP present in a sample, including ATP bound to proteins and cellular debris.
Free ATP measures only the free, unbound form of ATP in a sample.
