Accepta's rapid ATP hygiene monitoring system for food, hygiene and water applications

What is ATP?

Accepta’s ATP hygiene monitoring system measures adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy molecule found in all animal, plant, bacteria, yeast and mold cells. Residues, particularly food or organic residue, contain large amounts of ATP. When left on a surface, residues can harbor and grow bacteria, cause cross-contamination, develop biofilm and many other problems that can compromise quality and safety.

Benefits of Accepta’s ATP Hygiene Monitoring System

    • Assess the cleanliness of a surface immediately after cleaning.
    • Optimise and verify that cleaning procedures are working. If your procedures are not working, you can take immediate remedial action.
    • Maintain product quality and on-site safety.
    • Optimise the use of sanitisers and disinfectants.
    • Assists in developing and improving certain Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) procedures.
    • Most cost-effective ATP hygiene monitoring system available.

How does Accepta’s ATP hygiene monitoring system work?

Microbial contamination contains ATP, but in small amounts. After cleaning, all sources of ATP should be significantly reduced. When ATP is brought into contact with our unique, liquid-stable luciferase/luciferin reagent in the testing device, light is emitted in direct proportion to the amount of ATP present. The system measures the amount of light generated and provides information on the level of contamination in a matter of seconds. The higher the reading, the more contamination present.

Simple 20 second procedure

How can Accepta’s ATP hygiene monitoring system help you?

Assessing the cleanliness of a surface immediately after cleaning ensures contamination has been removed. Depending on the industry, Accepta’s ATP system will help ensure product quality, extend product life, prevent cross-contamination, enable immediate corrective action and/or avoid recalls.

Our ATP hygiene monitoring system provides accurate and traceable verification of the hygienic status of a surface or water, which is a key component of a any good hygiene programme.

ATP testing is a universally recognised tool used by organisations for measuring the hygienic status of surfaces and water in order to ensure product consistency and safety.
