With the BioFix® Lumi ATP tests and the Luminometer BioFix® Lumi-10 MACHEREY-NAGEL offers a complete system for professional hygienic control of surfaces and liquid samples. Because of their high sensitivity and extreme easy handling, they are particularly suitable for hygiene monitoring within the scope of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and IFS (International Food Standard) concepts. Furthermore cleaning processes can be controlled and optimised via the determination of adenosine triphosphate. Milk, meat, fish, sausage, preserves, frozen foods, beverages etc: the production of food makes high demands on hygienic conditions. Each contamination leads to a loss of quality of the product or to a loss of time within the production. With the rapid determination of ATP, hygienic impurities on surfaces can easily be detected. Impurities in boiler and cooling water circulations and other liquid samples can be monitored with BioFix® Lumi-10 ATP for liquid samples.
