HYGIENE MONITORING IN THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE SECTOR
Hygiene regulations in the food and beverage industry are particularly strict and are designed to prevent microbiological contamination during production processes. For fast and sensitive hygiene testing, the ATP test can be used by using Kikkomans highly innovative Lumitester Smart device.
An ATP test is used to determine the cleanliness of surfaces and provides valuable information about the state of hygiene. The cleaning validation is part of the hygiene monitoring in companies of the food and beverage industry within the framework of a HACCP concept.
The two tests, LuciPac A3 for surfaces and LuciPac A3 Water for liquids, determine the total content of ATP+ADP+AMP and represent a new patented concept in the field of food hygiene.
HYGIENE MONITORING IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR
Hygiene plays a major role throughout the healthcare sector. Although hygiene standards in the healthcare systems are very high, around 600,000 people still become infected with germs in the hospital every year, in the UK alone.
These germs trigger nosocomial infections, the consequences of which kill around 98.000 patients every year. It has already been proven in many studies that an improved cleaning program can curb MRSA infections, which are caused by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Our rapid tests can be applied in any healthcare facility because the patented A3 technology can check surfaces for the presence of organic residues, by detection of ATP+ADP+AMP. The extensively validated Lumitester Smart technology along with the LuciPac A3 rapid test is suitable for all areas of healthcare, which specifically means hospitals, nursing homes, doctors’ offices, and rehabilitation facilities. Sufficient preventive measures are the only way to reduce the risk of infections and unnecessary illnesses.
LUCIPAC A3 NEW Patented Technology
What exactly is measured with ATP and with A3 (ATP+ADP+AMP)?
The technique, based on adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence, measures the contamination level of surfaces and water samples. The amount of light emitted is proportional to the amount of ATP present. With A3 technology, these measurements become even more sensitive and the smallest residues or microorganisms can be detected because A3 also measures the breakdown products of ATP, i.e., adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
LUCIPAC A3 Pre-Moistened NEW
The Lucipac A3 Pre-moistened swab is available for the swabbing of dry critical test points, espicailly useful in the retail and hospitality industries when spot checking cleanliness of the consumer environment. The pre-moistened swab provides convenience and ease of use for the user.
LUCIPAC A3 Dry Swab – Improved Sample Collection
LUCIPAC A3 is supplied as a dry swab for wet production areas which has been proven to provide improved sensitivity when swabbing a wet area as an increased sample size is collected when swabbing. LuciPac A3 Dry Swab
LUCIPAC A3 WATER
Along with Lumitester Smart, you can check the cleanliness of water with LuciPac A3 Water, an innovative ATP test. The patented A3 technology tests samples for ATP+ADP+AMP, making it far superior to conventional ATP tests.
The quantitative and qualitative test method identifies pathogenic bacteria that may be a sign of inadequate water treatment or inadequate microbiological control of cooling circuits or other industrial processes. LuciPac A3 Water Bundle Offer
