The universal ATP test swab has a wide range of application scenarios. The following are some of the main fields:

I. Food Industry

1. Production Environment Testing
   • In food processing plants, regular tests are carried out on the floors, walls, and countertops of production workshops. These areas are prone to the residue of food raw materials and microorganisms. If they are not cleaned thoroughly, they may contaminate food. For example, in a bread production workshop, using ATP test swabs can quickly determine whether the countertops are clean enough to prevent bacteria from breeding on flour, yeast, and other residues and contaminating the bread.
2. Processing Equipment Testing
   • The cleanliness of food processing equipment such as mixers, filling machines, and conveyor belts is directly related to food safety. Through ATP test swabs, biological contamination on the equipment can be detected in a timely manner. For example, in a dairy processing plant, testing the filling machine can ensure that when milk is being filled, the equipment will not introduce bacteria or other contaminants into the product.
3. Packaging Material Testing
   • The cleanliness of food packaging materials also needs to be tested before use. If there are excessive microorganisms or other biological residues on the packaging materials, they may contaminate food during the packaging process. For example, when testing chocolate wrapping paper, using ATP test swabs can ensure the cleanliness of the wrapping paper and prevent the chocolate from spoiling during storage and sale.

II. Pharmaceutical Industry

1. Production Workshop Testing
   • The production workshops of pharmaceutical enterprises must maintain a high level of cleanliness. Using ATP test swabs to test the floors, air – filtering systems, workbenches, etc. in the workshops can ensure compliance with the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). For example, in a sterile drug production workshop, regular testing can ensure a sterile environment and prevent drug contamination.
2. Pharmaceutical Equipment Testing
   • Pharmaceutical equipment includes reactors, capsule – filling machines, tablet – pressing machines, etc. These equipments need strict cleaning and disinfection during the production process. Using ATP test swabs can check whether the equipment meets the specified cleanliness standards after cleaning. For example, after cleaning the reactor for antibiotic production, testing is carried out to ensure that there are no bacteria or other microbial residues left, preventing adverse effects on the next batch of drugs.

III. Medical Industry

1. Hospital Environment Testing
   • In hospitals, bedside tables, bed guardrails, door handles, etc. in wards are frequently touched by patients and medical staff, and these places are prone to bacteria and virus contamination. Using ATP test swabs can evaluate the cleanliness of these areas to ensure the health of patients and medical staff. For example, in infectious disease wards, testing can help detect and solve problems of incomplete cleaning in a timely manner to prevent the spread of diseases.
2. Medical Device Testing
   • Surgical instruments, stethoscopes, gastroscopes, and other medical devices need strict cleaning and disinfection before and after use. ATP test swabs can quickly and accurately detect whether these devices meet the cleanliness requirements. For example, after surgery, testing surgical instruments can ensure that there are no residual human tissues or microorganisms on the instruments to avoid postoperative infections in patients.

IV. Catering Industry

1. Kitchen Environment Testing
   • Stoves, chopping boards, tableware, etc. in restaurant kitchens are important links in ensuring food safety. Using ATP test swabs can quickly test these facilities in the kitchen to ensure they are clean and hygienic. For example, testing the chopping boards in a restaurant can prevent bacteria from raw meat from contaminating other foods.
2. Tableware Testing
   • The cleanliness of tableware directly affects the health of customers. Spot – checking tableware with ATP test swabs can ensure that the tableware meets hygiene standards after cleaning. For example, in a hotel restaurant, testing plates, bowls, chopsticks, and other tableware can ensure the safety of customers’ meals.

V. Public Health Field

1. Public Transportation Testing
   • Handrails, seats, and other parts of public transportation such as subways, buses, and airplanes are easily touched by a large number of people. Using ATP test swabs can evaluate the cleanliness of these parts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. For example, during the high – incidence season of influenza, testing subway handrails can prompt the operator to strengthen cleaning and disinfection work.
2. Public Place Testing
   • The hygiene conditions of public places such as shopping malls, cinemas, and libraries can also be tested with ATP test swabs. For example, testing the handrails of escalators in shopping malls and the seats in cinemas can ensure the health of the public when they are in these places.
