What is an ATP Test

ATP test is a process of measuring microorganisms through detection of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.ATP is a molecule found inside and around the living cells and it gives the direct measure of the biological concentration and health.ATP is present in all animal, vegetable, bacteria, yeast and mold cells and detection of ATP indicates the presence of contamination by any one of these sources. The ATP tests provide clear results in few minutes.

 ATP is measured by the light it produces when it reacts with the naturally occurring firefly enzyme using an ATP TEST KIT which consists of the luminometer. The amount of light produced during an ATP test is directly proportional to the amount of ATP present in the sample.

ATP TEST KIT has ATP testing equipment such as luminometers & ATP testing meter swabs.

Most foods and microbial cells contain some level of naturally occurring ATP. The luminometer (in conjunction with the Ultra snap ATP swab uses bioluminescence to detect residual ATP as an indicator of surface cleanliness.

The presence of ATP on a surface indicates improper cleaning and the presence of contamination, including food residue, allergens and/or bacteria. This implies a potential for the surface to harbour and support bacterial growth.

There are many ATP TESTING KIT available ONLINE that is used by reputable hospitals, nursing homes, and laboratories.

The ATP TESTING KIT available ONLINE help in assessing the standards of cleanliness and hygiene by measuring the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) present in a sample. The systems indicate overall biological contamination including microbiological and product residues for a fuller picture of the hygiene status of equipment.

Measurement of ATP tests is processed via a hand-held luminometer. This is a powerful tool for implementing and managing your hygiene monitoring program. The Luminometer is used with the Clean-Trace ATP surface test and water tests to determine the level of contamination in a sample, results are available in seconds.
