SystemSURE Plus ATP Hygiene Monitoring System
SystemSURE Plus is the next generation of the world’s best-selling SystemSURE
II ATP hygiene monitoring system. This new system uses state-of-the art electronics with improved functionality, but still
maintains its small hand-held design and affordability.
How does the SystemSURE Plus work?
In conjunction
with the Ultrasnap and Aquasnap testing devices, SystemSURE Plus measures adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy
molecule found in all animal, plant, bacteria, yeast and mold cells. Residues, particularly food or organic residue, contain
large amounts of ATP. When left on a surface, residues can harbor and grow bacteria, cause cross-contamination, develop biofilm
and many other problems that can compromise product quality. Microbial contamination contains ATP, but in small amounts. After
cleaning, all sources of ATP should be significantly reduced. When ATP is brought into contact with Hygiena’s unique, liquid-stable
luciferase/luciferin reagent in the Ultrasnap or Aquasnap testing device, light is emitted in direct proportion to the amount
of ATP present. The system measures the amount of light generated and provides information on the level of contamination in
just seconds. The higher the reading, the more contamination present.
Assessing the cleanliness of a surface immediately
after cleaning ensures contamination has been removed. Depending on the industry, this system will help product quality, extend
product shelf life, prevent cross-contamination, enable immediate corrective action and/or avoid recalls. ATP hygiene monitoring
provides accurate and traceable verification of the hygienic status of a surface or water, which is a key component of a good
hygiene program. ATP testing is a universally recognized tool used by large Blue Chip companies along with medium and small-sized
businesses for measuring the hygienic status of surfaces and water in order to ensure product consistency and safety.
