Presentation Transcript

  1. Bioluminescence Checks for microbial and residual contamination Results in less than 1 minute Simple to use, no technical expertise required Allows you to check cleaning practices before production, avoiding costly contamination problems Provides speedy results required by HACCP Plate Counts Checks only for the specific bacteria that can grow in the selected medium. Results in 24 to 48 hours Requires technical lab support Often requires you to throw away product after contamination results come back Do not provide the speed and simplicity of feedback required by modern HACCP demands. ATP vs. Plate Counts Both have value but provide different results.

  2. Relative ATP concentrations Bacteria 1 Yeast 100 Somatic 300,000

  3. ATP Compared to Traditional Tests 5 organisms 5 CFU 5 units ATP 15 organisms 3 CFU 15 units ATP 20 organisms 1 CFU 20 units ATP

  4. Residual ATP Microbial ATP CFU to RLU Correlation CFU RLU RLU correlates well to CFU with pure culture Correlation does not occur because in real world environment there is residual ATP as well as microbial ATP.
