METHOD IN SURFACE
HYGIENE MONITORING
Start the reaction by adding the desired amount of dilute ATP standard solution
and read the luminescence.
Calculate the amount of ATP in the experimental samples from the standard
curve.
CONCLUSION
• Tool to monitor the efficacy of cleaning and disinfecting practices in both
food , healthcare, textile industries etc.
• Considerable limitations of this method - low sensitivity of commercially
available luminometers used for detection of microbes, poor reproducibility
of results, particularly between surfaces with various properties and purposes,
as well as unfavourable influence of environmental factors on the
measurement outcomes.
