How does it work?

The technology uses liquid stable chemistry and a luminometer with robust internal sensors. In plain English, first we take a collection of samples from within your environment: door handles, computer mice, phones, chair arms, light switches, desk surfaces, pedestal drawers, breakout surfaces- in fact we can swab just about anywhere. We use a thorough swabbing technique to ensure even coverage of the swab, secondly we activate the reactor liquid then thirdly we measure the ATP present. Using bioluminescence technology, our ATP metres can measure extremely low levels of ATP collected from within your environment giving an excellent indication of surface cleanliness.

So, what is ATP testing?

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) testing basically measures the levels of ATP present on a surface. Within 15 seconds, the results are delivered in a measurement in RLU’s (reflective light units). The greater the ATP, the greater the RLU, and therefore the dirtier the surface. Our tried and tested Hygiena testing device contains a natural enzyme found in fireflies called Luciferase and produces a bioluminescence (a reaction which produces a bright light) when it comes into contact with ATP.

What exactly is ATP?

In scientific terms, ATP is present in all organic material and is the universal unit of energy used in all living cells. ATP fuels metabolic processes such as cellular reproduction, muscle contraction, photosynthesis, respiration in fungi and fermentation. So, if a surface is dirty but the dirt or bacteria is not visible, the ATP will be present, even when we can’t see it.

Where can ATP testing be done?

We carry out the testing on site, with immediate results. Many businesses are already using ATP testing to encourage staff back to working on premises and to reassure customers that their health and safety is of ongoing paramount importance. Nurseries, playgroups, gyms, offices, factories, hospitals, care homes, airports, train stations, taxi companies, pubs, cafes, restaurants, hair salons, nail bars, physio and massage rooms, Pilates and Yoga studios, hotels, serviced accommodation, retail outlets, estate agents and landlords are all seeing the benefits of regular ATP testing. For continued reassurance that your environment is cleaner than the eye can see, when clean just isn’t clean enough, trust Bandon to take the lead: we offer experienced, established, excellence in all of our services.
