ATP Meters & Swabs
High performance ATP meters and swabs developed for monitoring and detecting the presence of contamination on surfaces and in water, including food residue, allergens and/or bacteria.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is present in all organic material and is the universal unit of energy used in all living cells.ATP is produced and/or broken down in metabolic processes in all living systems. Processes such as photosynthesis in plants, muscle contraction in humans, respiration in fungi and fermentation in yeast are all driven by ATP. Therefore, most foods, water and microbial cells will contain some level of naturally occurring ATP.
The SystemSURE Plus luminometer (in conjunction with the Aquasnap or Ultrasnap ATP swabs) uses bioluminescence to detect residual ATP as an indicator of cleanliness.The presence of ATP indicates the presence of contamination on surfaces and in water, including food residue, allergens and/or bacteria.This implies a potential for the support of bacterial growth.
