Microbial Testing & Monitoring
The presence of ATP (present in all organic material and living cells) on a surface indicates improper cleaning and the presence of contamination, including food residue, allergens and/or bacteria. Luminometers use bioluminescence to detect residual ATP as an indicator of surface cleanliness. This implies a potential for the surface to harbor and support bacterial growth.
ATP testing is used around the globe and is a recognized tool by auditors for validating cleaning processes and complies with government and HACCP regulations.
