PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Using ATP Detection for Hygiene Monitoring and Management
The 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring and Management System consists of the following: 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer, 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Tests, and 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Management Software. This system is used to
detect ATP on surfaces or in water samples to measure levels of contamination for the purpose of hygiene monitoring
and management.
The detection technology used is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence. ATP is present in all animal and
vegetable material, including most food debris, living and dead bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. The 3M
Clean‑Trace Tests use Luciferin/Luciferase enzyme to produce light that is proportional to the amount of ATP present. The
3M Clean‑Trace Luminometer measures the intensity of the light emitted from a sample, and it displays the test result in
Relative Light Units (RLU). Users do a validation study on their surface or water samples to determine the RLU test result
pass, caution and fail thresholds.
The rapid test results provided by the 3M Clean‑Trace Luminometer allow users to take immediate remedial action in
response to a fail test result. The Test Point with a fail test result can be re-cleaned and retested before production,
ensuring that hygiene management goals are achieved. The results provide data that can be used in part to make the
decision to begin food or beverage production.
Read the Instructions for Use documents for 3M Clean‑Trace Tests before using them along with a 3M Clean‑Trace
Luminometer.
