Portable Hygiene Laboratory
Productnr.: PHL-192
Portable Hygiene Laboratory is an all-inclusive kit enabling the user to measure the hygiene of a surface or a liquid, in under a minute.
This kit is intended for determination of ATP on surfaces or in liquids. All living cells contain ATP. When cells die of natural causes, ATP is normally degraded. Cleaning and disinfecting a surface, which has been in contact with biological matter, may leave small amounts of residues containing ATP. Such residues will provide an excellent growth medium for airborne or other microorganisms. Even if the surface is sterile after cleaning and disinfecting, it may contain large numbers of microorganisms within a few hours. Determination of ATP on a surface will tell how much biological contamination was left after cleaning and disinfecting. The kit can also be used for determination of ATP in liquids.
Assay principle
Before the assay, ATP must be released from the biological material. This is achieved with Extractant B/S, which extracts ATP from most cell types of animal as well as bacterial origin. Extractant B/S is applied onto the surface with a dropper bottle and is evenly distributed over the surface with a swab. The active ingredients penetrate all materials on the surface including biofilms. The swab will absorb ATP from the surface.The ATP content of the swab is determined by rotating the swab in a microtube containing an ATP reagent. This reagent contains luciferase and luciferin and the reaction results in the emission of light.
Equipment
The Portable Hygiene Laboratory is intended to be used with the BT-112D (BioTech) luminomter. An outer tube (diameter 12 mm) is used to position the microtube (diameter 8.5 mm) in the correct position. Any luminometer that takes the microtubes or the outer tube can, however, be used. Microtubes (outer diameter 8.5 mm) and swabs are included in the kit.
PHL-192
Portable Hygiene Laboratory: kit, 192 tests. Contains 266-113 ATP Hygiene Reagents (similar to 266-221 ATP Hygiene Kit HS) but also swabs, small cuvettes (microtubes), tips and even a pipette. The only item not included is a luminometer. The swabs are flat making swabbing much easier and more reliable. Intended for testing of medical devices, food contact surfaces and general cleaning control.
