How do we measure contaminants and infections?

Of course you want demonstrable results. That is why we use 3M's Clean-Trace System to measure the effect of the Allpure treatments. Clean-Trace measures adenosine triphosphate with which organic contamination - or its lack - can be demonstrated flawlessly.

What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?

ATP is the universal "fuel" for the energy metabolism of every living cell. It is present on almost all surfaces to be measured. ATP by itself is not harmful but can be an indicator of harmful organisms such as bacteria, pathogens or fungi. The less ATP is present on a surface, the cleaner and safer it is.

Reliable method

The ATP process is a very reliable method of measuring organic contamination. It is used extensively in the food and beverage industry, water treatment plants, laboratories, etc. Quality officials from all over the world use ATP measurements.

How is ATP measured?

We measure the ATP level by combining a light meter with the enzyme luciferase. As mentioned, Stay Virus Free uses the lichtmeters en testmaterialen van 3M. The light meter measures the RLU value (the "relative light units") of a sample that we take with swabs. The higher the RLU, the more ATP is found, the greater the contamination. The measurement result is known within half a minute with this technique.

Measure and know

Our measurements are stored in an automated system. Trend analysis immediately shows how often treatment is necessary. This way, every client receives a tailor-made treatment process. We share the "before" and "after" results by email.
