Rabid Testing

Currently, the market's top-selling system for monitoring hygiene is the Hygiena SystemSURE Plus.

How does the SystemSURE Plus work?

The Hygiena SystemSURE Plus detects adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a ubiquitous energy molecule present in all types of cells including those of animals, plants, bacteria, yeast, and mold. Food or organic residues often contain significant amounts of ATP, which can lead to bacterial growth, cross-contamination, biofilm development, and other quality issues if left on surfaces. Although microbial contamination contains only small amounts of ATP, all sources of ATP should be significantly reduced after cleaning.

Hygiena's testing devices - Supersnap, Ultrasnap, and Aquasnap - utilize a unique, liquid-stable luciferase/luciferin reagent to produce light when in contact with ATP.

The amount of light generated is proportional to the amount of ATP present, and the system provides contamination level information within 15 seconds of testing. A higher reading indicates higher contamination levels.

Assessing surface cleanliness immediately after cleaning ensures that any contamination has been removed, which can improve product quality, extend shelf life, prevent cross-contamination, enable immediate corrective action, and avoid recalls.
