While methods to clean and sanitise facilities vary, the need to measure the effectiveness of cleaning practices is becoming universal. Now, Kaivac have partnered with Hygiena to deliver the industry’s first turnkey cleaning delivery and measurement program. This unique partnership combines the cleaning capabilities of the patented No-Touch Cleaning system with Hygiena’s System Sure Plus rapid ATP measurement technology.
System Sure Plus measures Adenosine Triphospate (ATP), the universal energy molecule found in all animal, plant, bacterial, yeast and mold cells. After cleaning, all sources of ATP should be significantly reduced. When ATP comes into contact with Hygiena’s unique liquide stable luciferin reagent in the UltraSnab testing swab, light is emitted in direct proportion to the amount of ATP present. The higher the reading, the more contamination present.
ATP hygiene monitoring provides accurate and traceable verification of the hygienic status of a surface, which is a key component of a good hygiene program.
These instruments are already used in a number of other industries, including healthcare and food processing to ensure that surfaces have been properly sanitized. They show just how clean surfaces are by quantifying microbial surface contamination in just seconds, making them perfect for determining how clean a surface is.
