What is ATP Testing?

 

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the chemical substance that powers reactions within cells. ATP is present in all life forms except viruses and prions. Viruses require living cells to survive, however, so their presence can be indirectly detected through ATP testing.

 

ATP Detection kits are simple to use, hand-held devices that you can use on any surface in your facility without much setup. They are ideal for quickly testing and confirming cleanliness of a surface.

 

ATP Testing has been popular in medical facilities that can't afford to wait for other testing methods. The speed of the results makes it an invaluable tool for any application where time is of the essence. By testing quickly, and reliably, you can save money by treating contamination problems earlier than with alternative testing approaches.
