Sensitivity Comparison Between EnSURE & SystemSURE Plus Luminometers

Posted by Nick Bredhauer on

Hygiena monitoring systems and ATP swabs detect low levels of ATP, down to a single femtomole. EnSURE RLU results are exactly twice the RLU results on the SystemSURE Plus. Increased sensitivity of the EnSURE system with SuperSnap ATP swabs enable detection that is up to 8 times more sensitive than the SystemSURE Plus with UltraSnap ATP swabs.
