Several methods exist these days for 
evaluating cleanliness, however, ATP 
bioluminescence is the one that stands 
out. In this method, quantitative data 
collection combines with scientific 
measurement and still ends up 
delivering speedy results. There is 
nothing more important than 
maintaining cleanliness for industry 
professionals. These include food 
production teams, hospitality staff, 
manufacturing professionals, and 
healthcare staff, there is nothing more 
important than maintaining cleanliness
         ATP hygiene monitoring technology enables users to 
efficiently monitor and determine the effectiveness of 
cleaning protocols that the naked eye is not able to see. ATP 
monitoring is perfect for indicating an early risk for 
inadequate removal of organic residue during the cleaning 
process. As the best method of testing hygiene, it is most 
helpful in the form of a verification method for cleaning 
protocols in various industries. These include healthcare, 
food and beverage production, hospitality, manufacturing, 
and transportation. Wherever cleanliness is of utmost 
importance, ATP hygiene monitoring is an effective tool. 
These include monitoring quality standards and reporting, 
identifying areas for improvement, training and 
encouragement, and evidence of due diligence. ATP is a 
great indicator of the organic contamination present on a 
surface. It enables a person to review the performance of a 
cleaning process that is not visible.
What is ATP Hygiene Monitoring? How Does it Work?
          There are several hazards that are not visible to the human eye even after implementing 
extensive disinfection and cleaning processes. These remain on the surfaces even though 
we believe they are free from contamination. ATP hygiene monitoring plays an important 
role in checking the cleanliness of a surface. It also helps to see if it is cleaned thoroughly 
and effectively using ATP.
          ATP hygiene verification systems utilize bioluminescence technology for identifying and 
measuring adenosine triphosphate, which is commonly known as ATP. If we talk about ATP, 
it is an energy molecule present in all animal, plant, and microbial cells and also fuels 
metabolic processes. All the different types of organic matter consisting of ATP, including 
bacteria, food, mould, and other microorganisms.
            ATP testing devices consist of a natural enzyme that is present in fireflies. The enzyme is 
called luciferase and produces a light-producing (bioluminescence) reaction on coming in 
contact with ATP. With the bioluminescence technology, ATP luminometers can measure the 
extremely low levels of ATP that are collected with testing devices.
Is ATP Hygiene 
Monitoring Able to 
Detect Viruses?
ATP meters are not able to detect viruses. 
The process of ATP cleaning verification 
doesn’t guarantee the removal of viruses 
present on the surfaces. It is essential to 
use  The ATP Cleaning Verification in 
conjunction with NHS and Public Health 
recommendations and guidelines.
Benefits of ATP 
Hygiene Monitoring
ATP hygiene monitoring is quite helpful for tracking the effectiveness of cleaning 
protocols and for verifying that high-touch areas in a specific facility are clean and 
in top condition. Therefore, don’t use testing products and ATP hygiene monitoring 
in the replacement of materials that are helpful for detecting bacteria or viruses 
that carry contaminants.
An ATP Hygiene Monitoring System brings ATP into contact with a unique liquid-stable 
reagent in the test swab device. On activation of a test swab, a bioluminescent 
reaction occurs that generates light output. Luminometers help in measuring and 
quantifying the light with an RLU* output. The light emits in direct proportion to the 
total amount of ATP that is present in the sample due to which it provides 
information on the contamination level in seconds.
*RLU means Relative Light Unit and is a unit of measurement for use in luminometers 
and bioluminescence for measuring and quantifying light with an RLU output. 
When the RLU number is higher, the level of ATP in the sample is also higher.
