Hygiene Monitoring

ATP swab: HACCP

  • MVP ICON® is a pioneering system that measures and records Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) as well as other key HACCP parameters AND provides new management tools to ensure your program’s success. Designed with quality management in mind, the MVP ICON Dashboard software provides a real-time snapshot of key program metrics that are essential to managing your HACCP program.
     
  •  The detection of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) through bioluminescence is a well-established and widely used indicator of surface hygiene and cleaning efficacy in food processing. Visual inspection is not an adequate critical control for surface hygiene and the lengthy time-to-result of microbiological test methods (from 2 - 7 days) make them ineffective for hygiene monitoring. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) detection with the MVP ICON provides results in 10 seconds allowing for immediate "go/no-go" decisions to be made prior to the start of processing and allows for correction actions, when necessary, to be taken immediately. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is found in all living cells, including: bacteria, yeast, mold and all organic matter. After cleaning and/or sanitizing, food processing equipment and the plant environment is tested for Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). If cleaning/sanitizing has been effective, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) levels should be low.
