Rapica

Rapid Microorganism Detection System

Detection at 1 microbiological cell level, on the same day

The time required for microbiological testing has been drastically reduced, as the filtration and concentration of a sample only takes 30 minutes (for 100 mL WFI), while the luminescent reaction measurement thereafter takes approximately 2.5 hours. Importantly, it is possible to achieve same day detection at the single microbe level. HORIBA also provides full support for evaluation testing and method development.

Measurement Flow of the High-Sensitivity ATP bioluminescense
The high-sensitivity ATP bioluminescense uses five different reagents for measurement. The reagent injection process is automated, saving labor and reducing the risk of contamination through human interaction.

Measurements Independent of the Type of Microbe
Since all organisms utilize ATP, it can be measured regardless of whether the sample contains bacteria, mold, or yeast. With the germination process included, bacteria that are in the spore state can also be measured.

Only ATP from Viable Microbes is Measured
As the ATP elimination process eliminates free ATP and ATP from non-viable microbes, only viable microbes are measured.

Rapica measurement completed in 2.5 hours.
With Rapica, testing time is greatly reduced when compared to conventional culture methods, with results available on the same day in approximately 2.5 hours.
