Here’s how it works
The CleanRead™ Contamination Monitoring System detects Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy molecule found in all animal, plant, bacterial, yeast, and mold cells. Microbial contamination contains ATP, but in smaller amounts. After cleaning, all sources of ATP should be significantly reduced.
When ATP is picked up by the tip of the Surface ATP Detection Swab and brought into contact with the unique, liquid stable luciferase/luciferin reagent in the Surface ATP Detection Swab, light is emitted in direct proportion to the amount of ATP present. The Surface ATP Detection Swab is then placed in the CleanRead™ Handheld unit where it measures the amount of Relative Light Units (RLU) generated and displays the level of contamination present in just 15 seconds. CleanRead™ Handheld unit will detect 1/100,000th dilution of blood, i.e. 0.2mg protein per swab. The handheld unit can then be synced to a PC where the reading is downloaded to an easy-to-use database management software for tracking the results. The software program can be used to run comparison charts and produce color trend analysis graphs and reports.
