The ATP Fluorescent Stick is a rapid test tool that utilises the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) bioluminescence principle to detect surface cleanliness or microbiological content, as described below:
Principle of operation
ATP is a kind of energy substance that exists in all biological cells, when the biological cells are damaged or dead, ATP will be released into the environment, the luciferase in ATP Fluorescence Detection Stick reacts with ATP, and fluorescence will be produced under aerobic conditions, the fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to the content of ATP, and the number of microorganisms on the surface of the object to be detected or the degree of cleanliness can be reflected through the detection of the intensity of the fluorescence.
Specific applications
Food processing and catering industry: can be used to detect the cleanliness of food processing equipment, tableware, countertops and other surfaces, quickly determine whether the cleaning effect is up to standard, and timely detection of cleaning dead ends and potential microbial contamination risks, to protect food safety.
Medical and health care field: detecting microbial contamination on the surface of hospital wards, operating theatres, medical equipment and other surfaces, which helps to assess the quality of hospital environmental cleanliness and prevent the occurrence of hospital infections.
Hotels and public places: testing the surfaces of frequently contacted objects such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, lift buttons, etc., to ensure environmental hygiene and provide a clean and safe environment for the public.
Water quality testing: It can be used to detect the microbial content in water bodies, make preliminary judgement on the hygienic condition of water quality, and provide a quick and easy method for water quality monitoring.
Features
Rapid and convenient: the test results can be obtained within seconds to minutes, without the need for complex laboratory equipment and long incubation process, greatly improving the efficiency of the test.
High sensitivity: ATP can be detected at very low concentrations, with high sensitivity to microorganisms, enabling timely detection of potential microbial contamination.
Simple operation: no need for professional and technical personnel to operate, ordinary staff can be used after simple training, easy to get started.
Real-time detection: real-time detection can be carried out on site, timely feedback of the test results, so as to facilitate the immediate adoption of appropriate measures to deal with.
Precautions for use
Before detection: Make sure the test stick is within the validity period, and check whether the reagent has any abnormalities such as leakage or discolouration. At the same time, the detection surface should be properly pre-treated, such as removing large surface stains, moisture, etc., to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
During the test: use the test stick according to the correct operation method, avoid contact between the test stick and other objects, and ensure that the test stick is in full contact with the testing surface to obtain accurate samples.
After testing: Dispose of the used test wand in time, and dispose of it according to relevant regulations to avoid pollution to the environment.
