Handheld ATP fluorescence rapid detectorIt is a portable microbial detection device based on ATP bioluminescence technology, widely used in food processing, medical and health, environmental monitoring and other fields. The core principle is to use luciferase to catalyze the reaction between ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and luciferin to generate photons, and quickly evaluate the level of microbial contamination in the sample by detecting the intensity of the light signal. ATP, as the energy carrier of all living cells, is positively correlated with the number of microorganisms, so the detection results can directly reflect the surface cleanliness or microbial residue.
This device adopts an integrated reagent swab design, which integrates sampling, lysis, and detection, making it easy to operate and avoiding cross contamination. The detection sensitivity is as high as 10-10 to 10-18 moles of ATP, and the RLU (relative light unit) value can be read within 10-15 seconds. The correlation with traditional bacterial culture methods is 92% -98%, but the detection efficiency is improved by hundreds of times.
Handheld ATP fluorescence rapid detectorIt has a wide range of applications, covering multiple scenarios that require rapid assessment of hygiene conditions or microbial contamination, as follows:
1. Food industry
Hygiene monitoring in the production process: Testing the cleaning effectiveness of food processing equipment (such as mixers, conveyors, and workstations), tools (cutting tools, containers), and production environments (floors, walls, air filters) to promptly detect residual microbial contamination and avoid cross contamination.
Raw material and finished product quality screening: Quickly detect the microbial content on the surface of ingredients (meat, fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, etc.) to evaluate freshness; Conduct random inspections on finished products (such as beverages, dairy products, and pastries) to preliminarily determine whether they meet hygiene standards.
Hygiene testing in the catering industry: used for verifying the cleanliness of tableware (bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons), dining tables, and kitchen utensils in restaurants and canteens to ensure that catering hygiene meets standards.
2. Medical and health field
Monitoring of environmental disinfection in medical institutions: detecting the cleaning and disinfection effects of medical equipment (such as surgical instruments, infusion sets, stethoscopes), equipment surfaces (beds, bedside tables, monitors), and medical staff hands in operating rooms, wards, and diagnosis rooms to prevent nosocomial infections.
Public health emergency testing: In sudden public health emergencies (such as outbreaks of infectious diseases), quickly screen for possible contaminated areas (such as surfaces of objects that patients have come into contact with, public facilities), and assess transmission risks.
3. Public places and facilities
Public area hygiene assessment: Testing the hygiene conditions of hotel rooms (bed sheets, towels, bathtubs, toilets), shopping malls (elevator buttons, handrails, shopping carts), and transportation vehicles (subway, bus, airplane seats, handrails, air conditioning vents) to ensure public health.
Drinking water and pool water testing: Quickly screen for microbial contamination in drinking water (tap water, bottled water) and pool water, and assist in determining whether the water quality is qualified (combined with other professional testing methods).
4. Pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry
Production environment and equipment cleanliness verification: During the production process of drugs and cosmetics, microbial residues on the clean area surface of the production workshop, production equipment, and packaging materials are detected to ensure that the products comply with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements.
Raw material hygiene testing: Quickly screen the raw materials (such as plant extracts, chemical reagents, packaging containers) of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to avoid product quality being affected by raw material contamination.
5. Environmental Protection and Water Quality Monitoring
Sewage and wastewater detection: Quickly assess the degree of microbial contamination in industrial and domestic wastewater, provide reference for the preliminary judgment of sewage treatment effectiveness, and assist environmental protection departments in their regulatory work.
Environmental water sample screening: Preliminary testing of natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater to determine the presence of microbial contamination, providing direction for further water quality analysis.
6. Other fields
Animal husbandry and agriculture: detecting the microbial content in the pens, feeding tools, and animal surfaces of the breeding farm, and evaluating the hygiene of the breeding environment; Monitor the hygiene of agricultural product processing sites, such as grain warehouses and oil mills.
Research experiment: As a rapid screening tool in microbiology, environmental science and other experiments, it assists researchers in evaluating the microbial load of samples and improving experimental efficiency.
