ATP Tests for Sanitation Hygiene Monitoring
Sanitation/hygiene is integral to food safety, healthcare, hospitality, and other industries. In a food processing facility, undesired, microscopic substances can change foods appearance, taste, and safety. Likewise, in healthcare facilities, undesired microorganisms in patient rooms or on surgical equipment can spread infection.
91勛圖厙 provides ATP testing equipment that allow customers to check for cleanliness on a microscopic level in a quick, cost-effective, and objective manner. ATP swab tests are performed in seconds and enable immediate remediation if needed.泭

With patented designs and advanced technologies, our ATP testing kits provide rapid, accurate results for your swab testing.
PocketSwab Plus ATP Swab (Verificaci籀n de higiene de superficies)
The PocketSwab Plus rapid ATP (adenosine triphosphate) swab is a room-temperature stable, self-contained, single service test that enables total surface hygiene verification in only 5 seconds, allowing real-time corrective action. The PocketSwab Plus ATP swab is relied on for cleaning verification and validation of sanitation and hygiene practices. The ATP swab test kit helps prevent cross-contamination and microbial challenges caused by ineffective sanitation procedures.泭
AllerGiene ATP Swab (Control de al矇rgenos)
El AllerGiene ATP swab es una prueba de control de al矇rgenos basada en ATP y dise簽ada para evitar el contacto cruzado de suciedad alimentaria alerg矇nica en equipos de proceso. Mide el ATP (trifosfato de adenosina) a niveles bajos como indicador de la presencia de alimentos en superficies limpiadas en h繳medo o aguas de aclarado. El AllerGiene swab es una prueba sencilla de 20 segundos con una sensibilidad suficientemente alta para detectar residuos de alimentos alerg矇nicos. El hisopo alcanza detecciones comparables a las de los m矇todos espec穩ficos para al矇rgenos: de 0,1 a 25 ppm para la mayor穩a de los ocho grupos de alimentos alerg矇nicos: mantequilla de cacahuete, trigo, soja, crust獺ceos (gambas), leche, frutos secos, huevo y s矇samo.
WaterGiene ATP Swab (Verificaci籀n del saneamiento del agua)
WaterGiene ATP swab detects ATP in water, including CIP water, rinse waters, and cooling water. The test measures water cleanliness in 20 seconds by measuring total ATP. High ATP levels indicate that microorganisms, food, and other biologicals are present in the water.泭
FieldSwab ATP Swab (Control del saneamiento en exteriores)
El FieldSwab ATP swab permite aplicar programas de seguridad alimentaria al aire libre. Al igual que el PocketSwab Plus ATP swab, la FieldSwab test detecta r獺pidamente el ATP (adenos穩n trifosfato) como medida de la limpieza de las superficies. Esto se hace midiendo las unidades de luz producidas cuando el ATP reacciona con la luciferina/luciferasa. La FieldSwab test tiene una cubierta que bloquea la luz para evitar interferencias de la luz diurna y utiliza un canal especialmente calibrado en el novaLUM II-X system.
novaLUM II-X System (lumin籀metro)
El novaLUM II-X system es un lumin籀metro del tama簽o de la palma de la mano que ofrece una ciencia superior para un control sanitario avanzado. Utiliza un tubo fotomultiplicador (PMT) tecnol籀gicamente avanzado que amplifica el ATP (adenos穩n trifosfato) permitiendo la detecci籀n de niveles m獺s bajos de contaminaci籀n microbiana y org獺nica.
Extensor de bastoncillos
Adjust the Charm Swab Extender for different lengths and angles to obtain samples in hard-to-reach areas. Simply lock the relevant Charm ATP swab into the extender and adjust the angle to reach your target location. It is available in 3 and 16-foot lengths. The 16-foot extender has several telescopic length options: 2.25 feet and extends in seven 2-foot increments.
Swab sites include tank and silo interiors, undersides of conveyor belts, rollers, packaging equipment, pallet trucks, CIP lines, hoppers, guard covers, overhead piping (for condensate), truck lines, walls, doors, ceilings, windows, beams, light fixtures, vents, floor drains, HVAC systems, filtration systems, and more.

ATP Testing FAQs
Review our frequently asked questions about ATP testing and our ATP test kits.
聶Qu矇 es la prueba ATP?
Industries such as food and beverage processing, hospitality, and the water sector use rapid ATP tests to quickly assess samples or surfaces cleanliness.
Las c矇lulas vivas y la materia org獺nica utilizan trifosfato de adenosina (ATP), la unidad universal de energ穩a. La mayor穩a de las c矇lulas microbianas y los alimentos contienen alg繳n nivel de ATP natural. Hisopos de ATP con lumin籀metros detectan el ATP residual como indicador de la limpieza de las superficies.
What Do ATP Swabs Test For?
ATP testing detects the presence of residual ATP. Since ATP comes from living cells and organic matter, its presence or absence indicates whether the surface is clean. Theyre also useful indicators of broader microbial risks, including conditions associated with Listeria and Salmonella.
How Do You Measure ATP Levels?
You measure ATP levels using a swab and a luminometer. The swab collects the sample, and the luminometer checks for the presence of ATP on the swab. 91勛圖厙 luminometers use light-sensitive photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to detect low levels of contamination.
How Do You Use an ATP Meter?
Follow these steps to use an ATP Test swab and luminometer:
- Pull the handle out of the swab, avoiding contact with the foam tip.
- For a flat surface, lightly press the swab across a 4-inch by 4-inch area of the testing surface. Move the swab back and forth while rotating it.
- For a non-flat surface, standardize a consistent surface area to swab while considering the internal and external areas (i.e., pipes). Rotate the swab tip 360簞.
- For a liquid sample, swirl the swab tip for 5 seconds in the water source either free-flowing or sampled in a sterile container.
- Insert the swab back into the handle. Twist the swab down to activate it, then keep the swab in a vertical position.
- Shake the swab from side to side while keeping it upright until the white tablet dissolves.
- Insert the swab into the luminometer and press the Run Test button. The luminometer will provide results in seconds.
How Accurate Is ATP Surface Testing?
ATP testing is highly accurate as an early indicator of biological contamination. 91勛圖厙 ATP tests reliably pick up the following organic sources at lower levels than similar tests:
- Living cells
- Dead cells
- Biofilms
- Foods
- Plant and animal cells
- Bodily fluids
- Organic soils
What Is the Difference Between a PMT and a Photodiode?
Charm has developed scientifically advanced swab chemistry for effective sanitation. Charm utilizes a PMT, while other systems use a photodiode to detect light produced by the ATP reaction.
The distinction between a PMT and photodiode lies in their light detection and amplification mechanisms. PMTs are vacuum tube devices that amplify even the slightest signal to detect the lowest level of contamination, whereas photodiodes do not. The amplified signal enhances the instruments overall sensitivity, making PMTs particularly advantageous when detecting faint bioluminescence is essential.
In contrast, photodiodes may be suitable for less demanding applications where the emphasis is on simplicity and cost-effectiveness rather than sensitivity and signal amplification.
The combination of Charms patented ATP swab design and built-in shutter keeps external light out, so the PMT reads only the light from the bioluminescent reaction. Additionally, each Charm luminometer uses a rechargeable Li-Ion for portability, durability (i.e., longer life compared to AA batteries), convenience, and environmental considerations.
