colony forming unit (CFU). Since the luminometer is detecting total
ATP, it is unknown whether the RLU result displayed by the
luminometer is due to the detection of microbial ATP, residual ATP,
or a combination of both. Therefore, a comparison cannot be drawn
between RLU values from ATP and standard plate counts (SPC); or
rather RLU does not equal CFU. True microbial contamination can
only be determined by a standard plate count method that can take
up to 48 hours for results. The luminometer is capable of providing
results in 15 seconds offering a rapid, real-time approach to
hygiene/sanitation monitoring. The luminometer is not meant to
replace microbial testing. It can be an effective tool when
incorporated into a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP),
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), or sanitation plan.
