Systems for rapid microbiological and hygienic control

Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP for short, is present in all organic substances and is a universal energy particle found in all cells. ATP is produced and/or destroyed in the metabolic processes of all living systems. Therefore, most food products and microbial cells contain a natural proportion of ATP.

Through the ATP hygiene control system, adenosine triphosphate comes into contact with a liquid, stable reagent in tests. The reagent contains a natural enzyme – luciferase. When this enzyme reacts with ATP, light is produced. The light is proportional to the amount of ATP in the samples and is read using a luminometer that gives quantitative results of the level of contamination within seconds.

When do we need rapid testing?

1. Testing raw materials before entering production:
  - protection against the entry of contaminated raw materials into production
  - preventing storage costs that shorten the shelf life of raw materials
  - quick check of raw material quality certificate
  - preventing stoppage of production and loss of income
  - faster introduction of raw materials into production and rapid exit of investments
2. Surface and equipment testing
  - preventing bacterial contamination of the product within a few days
  - fast effectiveness of cleaning and disinfecting agents
  - identification of problem areas in a few hours and in a few days
  - testing upon receipt of raw materials, which reduces expenses for analyzes performed in external laboratories
3. Final product testing
  - rapid introduction of a product with a shorter shelf life
  - in the event of contamination – the possibility of action before releasing the goods to the market
  - the possibility of preventing the product from being discarded
  - brand and reputation protection
