• ProGnosis Biotech’s ATP FLOW series is designed for surface testing, ensuring effective cleanliness verification with fast, reliable results.
• The ATP FLOW TOTAL extends capabilities to include water samples, facilitating the detection of both microbial and non-microbial ATP.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing offers a robust method for ensuring that surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, thus safeguarding quality and product safety. This testing method is especially critical in sectors like food production, healthcare, hospitality and pharmaceuticals where hygiene directly impacts product safety and consumer health.

In these industries where hygiene is a top priority, verifying the cleanliness of surfaces after sanitization is crucial. Ensuring that cleaning protocols are effective is not merely about meeting regulatory requirements—it's a core component of operational integrity and public health. Without thorough verification methods, there remains a significant risk of microbial contamination that can lead to product recalls, health outbreaks, and damage to public trust and brand reputation.

The importance of verifying surface cleanliness goes beyond visual inspection, which can often be insufficient for detecting microscopic contaminants that pose health risks. Effective verification ensures that all residues, whether biological or chemical, are removed to safe levels. This not only protects consumers but also enhances the quality and safety of products. By confirming that cleaning procedures are successful, businesses can maintain high standards of hygiene, reduce the risk of contamination, and uphold their commitment to delivering safe and reliable products. A complete hygiene monitoring system comprised of both ATP testing, to ensure that the product line has been sufficiently cleaned, and also surface allergen testing is the ideal combination in order to avoid cross-contamination. This systematic verification of cleanliness supports a proactive approach to health and safety management, essential in any industry where hygiene is critical.

ATP testing addresses several of these key challenges in maintaining stringent cleanliness standards. It provides rapid and reliable results, crucial for real-time decision-making and maintaining workflow efficiency. The tests are designed for comprehensive contamination detection, not just spotting visible dirt but also identifying microbial presence and chemical residues that could compromise safety. Furthermore, these tests are user-friendly, requiring minimal training by staff. They are also adaptable, capable of handling various surface materials and conditions, and cost-effective, ensuring that maintaining high standards of cleanliness does not become prohibitively expensive. Finaly, documentation of the results can easily be provided through the software allowing better organization.

ProGnosis Biotech’s ATP FLOW series is tailored to meet these needs. The ATP FLOW is specifically designed for surface testing, ensuring effective cleanliness verification with fast, reliable results. For more comprehensive needs, the ATP FLOW TOTAL extends capabilities to include water samples, integrating a special sampling tip that facilitates the detection of both microbial and non-microbial ATP. This adaptability makes the ATP FLOW series a valuable tool in any quality assurance or food safety protocol, even more so combined with the Allergen Free series, as they can support industries in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.

By utilizing ATP testing technology like the ATP FLOW series, laboratories, food industries, quality assurance labs, healthcare and hospitality facilities can comply with HACCP requirements. It can enhance their operational efficiency while upholding stringent quality standards, thus ensuring that their products are safe and their processes are uncontaminated.
