EPIC is a presence/absence test for ATP, a bio-marker of microbiological quality. End product to be tested is incubated in its original package (PET bottle, carton, single serve) to accelerate microbial growth. After the 36 (or 48 hour) incubation, samples are aliquoted on to the EPIC microplate and inserted in the EPIC system. Once inserted, the EPIC system is fully automated with reagent additions, incubations and readings and analysis.
