Therefore, an RLU value is not t he sam e as a m icrobial colony form ing
unit ( CFU) . Since t he lum inom et er is det ect ing t ot al ATP, it is unknown
whet her t he RLU result displayed by t he lum inom et er is due t o t he
det ect ion of m icrobial ATP, residual ATP, or a com binat ion of bot h.
Therefore, a com parison cannot be drawn bet ween RLU values from
ATP and st andard plat e counts ( SPC) ; or rat her RLU does not equal
CFU. True m icrobial cont am inat ion can only be det erm ined by a
st andard plat e count m et hod that can t ake up t o 48 hours for result s.
The lum inom et er is capable of providing result s in 15 seconds offering
a rapid, real- t im e approach t o hygiene/ sanit at ion m onit oring. The
lum inom et er is not m eant to replace m icrobial t est ing. I t can be an
effect ive t ool when incorporat ed int o a Hazard Analysis Crit ical Cont rol
Point ( HACCP) , Good Manufact uring Pract ices ( GMP) , or sanit at ion
