3M Clean-Trace UXL100 - Product Instructions

(English)
1
Description:
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface ATP test is a single-use test device that contains a swab for
the collection of a sample from a surface. The swab is pre-moistened with a cationic agent to
aid in the collection of soil and the release of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) from intact cells.
Upon activation of the test, reagent in the cuvette of the test device reacts with ATP collected
on the swab to produce light. The intensity of the light is proportional to the amount of ATP and
therefore the degree of 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
test kit contains 100 ready to use test devices packaged as units of 10 per individual foil pouch.
Applications:
ATP is an indicator of organic residues and microorganisms. Detection of ATP is used to rapidly
assess the standards of hygiene and sanitation procedures for surfaces and equipment.
WARNINGS
Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information and local regulations for disposal.
CAUTIONS
ATP is a common substance. It is present on skin, hair and on many surfaces. Do not touch the
swab or the surface to be tested.
Do not use test devices past expiry date.
The 3M Clean-Trace Surface ATP test detects ATP and so will not detect residues of products with
low or zero ATP present.
Although the 3M Clean-Trace Surface ATP test is very sensitive, a surface cannot be considered
sterile on the basis of a 3M Clean-Trace Surface ATP test result.
Do not use the 3M Clean-Trace Surface ATP test in direct sunlight.
