Ensure Confidence in Cleanliness with ATP Testing
Every day in food production, the decision to start a production run comes with its share of worries. Traditional methods such as visual inspections have limitations. That’s where ATP testing becomes essential.
What is ATP testing?
- ATP, or Adenosine Triphosphate, is found in all organic matter, including the food residues and bacterial biofilms that can stay behind even after cleaning.
- ATP testing identifies residual organic matter that may remain even after cleaning is completed.
Why choose ATP testing?
Neogen’s ATP testing solutions offer a clear, immediate, and reliable way to verify surface cleanliness:
-
Real-time feedback on cleaning effectiveness.
-
Bioluminescence technology provides quick and measurable results using ATP swabs and a luminometer.
-
No delays — results are available instantly on-site.
Advantages over traditional methods
-
Visual inspections can miss microscopic residues.
-
Microbiological testing requires lab work and time.
-
Commence your production lines with confidence.
ATP testing delivers fast, actionable data for immediate decision-making. - Ensure comliance with regulatory regulations and reduce the likelyhood of expensive recalls.
Clean-Trace Brochure
Neogen® Clean-Trace™ portfolio
The Clean-Trace portfolio contains testing solutions to measure ATP on surfaces or in rinse waters after each CIP (Clean in Place) cycle. These ATP tests can be easily integrated into any Hygiene Management Programme. The kits are designed to rapidly assess sanitation processes and the efficiency of CIP procedures by detecting organic contamination from microbial or product residues.
By working in real time, food and beverage producers can test surfaces and rinse waters after each CIP cycle and re-clean immediately if ‘fail’ results are obtained.
- Detection of ATP indicates the risk of infection
- Real-time assessment of cleaning process outcomes
- Identifying potential food safety hazards
