Hygiena SuperSnap is Hygiena's most sensitive surface ATP test. It's a single-use swab with a built-in liquid-stable reagent that detects very low levels of ATP, the energy molecule found in food residue, microorganisms and other organic matter. Swab the surface, snap and squeeze to activate, then read the result in a Hygiena luminometer in about 10 to 15 seconds. You can confirm a surface is clean before production starts, instead of waiting for lab results.
SuperSnap is designed for sites with the strictest hygiene standards, such as high-risk food and beverage production, where a standard ATP swab may not pick up low-level residue. It's sold in boxes of 100 tests and works with all Hygiena luminometers, including the EnSURE Touch, EnSURE and SystemSURE Plus. Hygiena SuperSnap is available in Canada from Cambridge Environmental Products with CAD pricing and Canadian purchasing support.
Hygiena states SuperSnap is 4 times more sensitive than its UltraSnap surface test. Higher sensitivity means the test can pick up smaller amounts of residue, so you can set tighter pass limits on critical surfaces.
Leftover sanitizer can suppress the ATP reaction and give falsely low readings. Hygiena states the SuperSnap reagent is 5 times more resistant to acid-based sanitizers and 10 times more resistant to alkali-based sanitizers.
Results take about 10 seconds on the EnSURE Touch and 15 seconds on the EnSURE or SystemSURE Plus. Staff can re-clean and re-test a surface on the spot instead of waiting for lab results.
The swab, reagent and cuvette are in one self-contained device, so there's no pipetting or separate reagent to handle. Hygiena's patented swab design is built for high sample collection and recovery, and the plastic is 100% recyclable.
Steps are from the Hygiena SuperSnap instructions for use. Set pass, caution and fail limits (RLU) for each test point in your luminometer software, based on your own sanitation program.
| Application | How SuperSnap Helps |
|---|---|
| Pre-operational inspection | Confirms food-contact surfaces are clean before production starts. |
| High-risk and RTE areas | Higher sensitivity supports tighter pass limits on critical surfaces. |
| Sanitation verification | Reagent resists acid and alkali sanitizer residues that can suppress results. |
| Trend monitoring | Results can be logged and trended with Hygiena luminometer software. |

We supply Hygiena ATP tests with CAD pricing and shipping across Canada. We work with food and beverage processors, QA/QC teams, sanitation managers, and research laboratories, and can help with quotes and standing orders. Browse our lab supplies collection for more.
It measures ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is found in food residue, microorganisms and other organic matter. The luminometer reports the result in relative light units (RLU). A higher reading means more residue on the surface.
SuperSnap is Hygiena's high sensitivity surface test. Hygiena states it's 4 times more sensitive than UltraSnap and more resistant to sanitizer effects. It suits sites that need tighter pass limits.
All Hygiena luminometers, including the EnSURE Touch, EnSURE and SystemSURE Plus. It isn't designed for other brands' luminometers.
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Devices can be kept at room temperature (20–25 °C) for up to 4 weeks before use. Let them reach room temperature before testing.
It detects ATP from all organic sources, including bacteria, but it isn't a bacteria count. Use it to verify cleaning, and use microbiological testing to confirm specific organisms.
