Welcome to the world of ATP analysis!ATP analysis has worked well in the food industry for over 20 years.
Isn't it time we used it? Why Use ATP?
Quick! Only takes 30 seconds. ATP lets you determine when and what chemical dosages are effective.
Methods such as dipslides are reactive or after-the-fact. ATP tells you what happened, what will
happen, and how fast it will happen. ATP does not replace dipslides. Despite the fact that the dipslide method only measures about 0.15 - 10% of all bacterial forming units (cfu/mL), it continues to work It has served the industry well. Please realize that a dipslide reading is an index based on a direct count of microbial colonies and that the traditional clean value of 1,000 cfu/mL is a far cry from a sterile system. The magic number of 1,000 cfu/mL is a good "rule of thumb". Similarly, ATP values of 1,000 are considered clean. The ATP method is just another index but it is a newer and more modern method. The ATP method measures a chemical found in all living cells. It is not a microbial count method. However, estimates of ATP can be used to detect individual cell counts rather than colonies of cells such as in the dipslide method. ATP values of 1,000 are considered clean. This chemical measure has been found to correlate with the general tendency of water based systems to develop organic deposits, organic films, etc. ATP does not replace dipslides although some users tend to favor ATP over dipslides. In our view, ATP compliments dipslides. ATP is a new tool for industrial water treatment. ATP is an old tool used in the food industry for over 20 years to meet sanitation requirements.
