The Clean-Trace Surface ATP swab is pre-moistened with a cationic agent to aid in the collection of soil and the release of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) from intact cells. Upon activation of the test, reagent in the cuvette of the test device reacts with ATP collected on the swab to produce light. ATP is a common substance, it is used as an indicator of organic residues and microorganisms. Detection of ATP is used to rapidly assess the standards of hygiene and sanitation procedures for surfaces and equipment. The intensity of the light is proportional to the amount of ATP and therefore the degree of contamination. Measurement of the light requires the use of a 3M™ Clean-Trace™ LM1 Luminometer and the results are displayed in Relative Light Units (RLU).
