Designed to enhance your hygiene monitoring procedures, positive controls for 3M Clean-Trace™ ATP Hygiene Systems provide assurance that your 3M hygiene monitoring reagents and instruments are being stored and used correctly to ensure reliable results. Positive controls allow you to demonstrate due diligence and assures the operator is using the correct method.

Benefits

• Provides the user with an ideal and convenient method of assuring that all components used during testing are operating correctly.
• Assures operator is using the correct method.
• Demonstrates due diligence.
• 10 per box

The test kit contains 10 ready to use reagent vials. Each vial contains 3.0 ng or 5 x10-12 moles of ATP and 1 mg of protein (Bovine Serum Albumin). A pre-moistened swab device is used to swab the ATP/Protein pellet and interior of the 3M Clean-Trace™ Surface Positive Control vial. Clean-Trace™ Surface devices are then activated and measured as per the device instructions.

The signal obtained should be above a specified level, which indicates that both the reagents and (in the case of the ATP tests) instrument are operating correctly.

The unique format of this product provides the user with an ideal and convenient method of assuring that all components used during testing are operating correctly and that the operator is using the correct method. Positive controls are used in conjunction with the 3M Clean-Trace™ Hygiene Monitoring System, to assess that both reagents and instruments (if required) are operating satisfactorily and have been stored and used correctly.

 What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?

ATP is present in all micro-organisms, plant and animal cells and is the molecule that provides energy for cellular metabolism. ATP provides a marker or indicator of contamination from a biological source.

By using the 3M Clean-Trace™ ATP System manufacturing industries worldwide are achieving the highest levels of product quality, safety and environmental hygiene. This system allows you to assess the hygienic status of production facilities in real-time and provides you with an innovative solution to answer your hygiene monitoring needs. Effective environmental hygiene management helps reduce levels of contamination in finished products, leading to improved quality, fewer batch rejections and lower risk of a product recall.
