Pens and Hygiene Swabs for surface monitoring HY-LiTE® [Pack of 100]

Description

Typical composition
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is detected specifically by reaction with a luciferin/luciferase reagent in buffered solution.

Features and benefits
• Reliable and convenient surface testing
• Can also be used for CIP liquid testing
• Separate swab
• No residues left on the tested surface
• Dilution factor and unique buffer eliminates interference
• Test procedure takes less than 1 minute
• Patented uptake of sample volume
• Long shelf-life

Experimental procedure
Surfaces in food production like cutting boards or slicing machines, which bear risk of endangering a complete lot of food product, should be controlled by HY-LiTE® routinely. Rinse water samples from cleaning in place (CIP) procedures in tanks or filling heads should also be checked regularly.
Swab the surface of a defined area (10 x 10 cm).

Transfer the sample into the rinse solution.

Dip the white stick of the pen into the liquid sample and press the stick into the Pen cuvette.

Press and twist (screw) the upper part of the Pen until it contacts the lower part. Shake the Pen, then put into luminometer for measurement. Close lid and read the result on the display.

Specification

Application: Primarily examination of cleaning/ sanitation of surfaces in food & drink production

Format: Ready prepared cuvette test format for use with HY-LiTE® 2 luminometer

Swab:  Standard sterile and ATP free swab for use in microbiology
