Hygiene Monitoring

  • Meet the guardian of the line See beyond the surface with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Hygiene Monitoring and Management System. When it comes to food safety, you’ve got a lot on the line. Using hygiene monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of your cleaning procedures is a critical aspect of an environmental monitoring program, which can help ensure the sanitary condition of your food and beverage manufacturing environment. Keep things moving with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Hygiene Monitoring and Management System, now re-engineered for improved stability and consistency. It’s a complete system that helps you optimize productivity, quickly prepare for audits and adhere to HACCP and FSMA rules. The system comes complete with 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer and software and is used with the following test swabs to determine the level of contamination in a sample: 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface ATP UXL100 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water Plus - Total ATP AQT200 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water - Free ATP AQF100
  • Surface ATP Test Swab 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface ATP UXL100 is a single-use test device that contains a swab for the collection of a sample from a surface. The swab is pre-moistened to aid in sample collection and processing. Upon activation of the test, the chemical reacts with the sample collected on the swab to produce light. The amount of the light produced is proportional to the degree of potential contamination. Measurement of the light requires the use of a 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer and the results are displayed in Relative Light Units (RLU). The higher the RLU number, the more contaminated the sample. Not intended for consumer use. Monitoring the effectiveness of cleaning helps reduce the risk of a food safety incident. With 3M Clean-Trace Surface ATP UXL100, monitoring for contamination is simple with real-time results. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. This product can be used with minimal training and is easily integrated into company HACCP programs to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Additionally, it’s easy to use and provides consistent, reliable results.
  • Detects as little as 50µg of protein on surfaces and in solution 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein Plus Test Swab PRO100 is a simple, quick, and reliable method of checking for the removal of protein residues after cleaning and quickly identifies contamination. This sensitive tool detects as little as 50µg of protein on surfaces. A quick, easy visual reading of a color change indicates the presence of detectable levels of protein and the fast results allow immediate corrective action. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein Plus Test Swab PRO100 can be integrated into any Hygiene Management Program where risk areas can be effectively monitored for cleaning effectiveness. As an additional benefit, it can help to reduce the risk of biological contamination, where food residues on surfaces could potentially provide nutrients for spoilage or pathogenic bacteria to thrive. This easy-to-use device requires minimal training. Not intended for consumer use. Monitoring the effectiveness of cleaning in critical areas helps to reduce the risk of a food safety incident. With the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein Plus Test Swab PRO100, monitoring for contamination on surfaces and in hard to reach areas is simple with results in 10 minutes. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. A visual reading of a color change indicates the level of cleanliness by detecting as little as 50µg of protein. No instrumentation is required to interpret the sample results. This product can be used with minimal training and is easily integrated into company HACCP programs to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Additionally, its ease of use, reliable detection and fast, visible results can help in teaching staff the importance of cleaning.

    Water Free -  ATP Test Swab 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water-Free ATP AQF100 is a single-use test device that contains sample collection rings for the collection of an aqueous sample. The sample collection rings aid in the collection of a liquid sample for measuring free adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in solution. Upon activation of the test device, reagent in the cuvette of the test device reacts with ATP collected on the sample collection rings to produce light. The intensity of the light is proportional to the amount of ATP. Measurement of the light requires the use of a 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer and the results are displayed in Relative Light Units (RLU). Not intended for consumer use. The difference between 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water-Free ATP test results and 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water Plus - Total ATP test results done on the same sample indicate the amount of intact microbial cells in the sample. With 3M Clean-Trace Water-Free ATP AQF100, monitoring for contamination is simple with real-time results. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. This product can be used with minimal training to monitor for cleaning effectiveness.

    Water Plus ATP Test Swab 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water Plus - Total ATP AQT200 is designed to rapidly assess equipment sanitation processes and the efficiency of Clean in Place (CIP) procedures. It accurately detects organic contamination from microbial or product residues using ATP detection technology. The test gives an objective indication of cleanliness in water samples in seconds, and is designed for use with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer. The device tip contains sample collection rings that are coated with a unique agent to aid in the efficient collection and processing of a sample. Once the test is activated, the results are measured in the 3M Clean-Trace NG Luminometer and provided in Relative Light Units (RLU). By working in real time, food and beverage producers can test rinse waters after each CIP cycle and re-clean immediately if ‘fail’ results are obtained. Not intended for consumer use. Monitoring the effectiveness of cleaning helps reduce the risk of a food safety incident. With 3M Clean-Trace Water Plus - Total ATP AQT200, monitoring for contamination in water samples is simple with real-time results. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. This product can be used with minimal training and is easily integrated into company HACCP programs to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Additionally, it’s easy to use and provides reliable detection.
