PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Using ATP Detection for Hygiene Monitoring and Management
The 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring and Management System consists of the following: 3M Clean-Trace
L
uminometer, 3M™ Clean
-
Trace™ Tests, and 3M Clean
-Trace Hygiene Management Software. This system is used to
detect ATP on surfaces or in water samples in order to measure levels of contamination for the purpose of hygiene
monitoring and management.
The detection technology used is ATP bioluminescence. ATP is present in all animal and vegetable material (including
most food debris), living and dead bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. The 3M
Clean-Trace Tests use Luciferin/Luciferase enzyme to produce light that is proportional to the amount of ATP present.
The 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer measures the intensity of the light emitted from a sample, and it displays the test
result in Relative Light Units (RLU). Users do a validation study on their surfaces or water samples to determine the
RLU test result pass, caution and fail thresholds.
The rapid test results provided by the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer allow users to take immediate remedial action in
response to a failing test result. The Test Point with a failing test result can be re-cleaned and retested before
production, ensuring that hygiene management goals are achieved. The results provide data that can be used to
advise the decision to begin food or beverage production.
Read the Instructions for Use documents for 3M Clean-Trace Tests before using them along with a 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer.
