UltraSnap® Surface ATP Test

Overview:
This video highlights the benefits and proper use of UltraSnap^®, a user-friendly ATP test for assessing cleanliness on food contact surfaces and processing equipment after cleaning.

How It Works:

• UltraSnap, used with Hygiena’s handheld luminometers, detects ATP (adenosine triphosphate), an energy molecule found in all living cells. The presence of ATP indicates surface contamination.
• Test results are provided in 15 seconds, expressed in Relative Light Units (RLUs)—higher RLUs indicate dirtier surfaces.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Sample Collection: The pre-moistened swab bud breaks through biofilms for accurate testing.
• Superior Sensitivity: Uses liquid-stable chemistry and patented snap-valve for reliable results.
• Long Shelf Life: 15 months refrigerated, 4 weeks at room temperature.
• Eco-Friendly: Made from 100% recyclable plastic.

Testing Process:

1. Prepare the System: Turn on the luminometer for calibration.
2. Swab the Surface:
   • Remove swab and test a 4x4 inch (10x10 cm) area in a crisscross pattern.
   • Apply consistent pressure and rotate the swab tip.
   • Avoid contaminating the swab shaft.
3. Activate the Test:
   • Break the snap valve, squeeze the bulb twice to release liquid, then shake for 5 seconds.
4. Measure Results:
   • Insert the swab into the luminometer, close the lid, and press “OK.”
   • Results display in 15 seconds.

Optimize with SureTrend Software:

• Tracks and trends test results for sanitation monitoring.
• Provides preset/customizable reports for HACCP programs and audit compliance.
• Helps identify environmental contamination.
