Description:
3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water - Free ATP test is a single-use device that contains sample
collection rings for the collection of an aqueous sample [figure 1]. The sample collection
rings are coated with a wetting agent to aid in the collection of a liquid sample without the
release of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) from intact cells. Upon activation of the test,
reagent in the cuvette of the device reacts with ATP collected on the sample collection rings
to produce light. The intensity of the light is proportional to the amount of non-microbial
ATP. Measurement of the light requires the use of a 3M™ Clean-Trace™ 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:
To rapidly assess the amount of non-microbial ATP in an aqueous sample. ATP is an
indicator of organic residues and microorganisms. Together with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™
Water - Total ATP test, the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water - Free ATP test can determine the
amount of microbial ATP in samples from CIP systems, Cooling Towers, or other industrial
water systems.
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 sample collection rings or sample stick; do not contaminate the solution to be tested.
Do not use devices past expiration date.
The Clean-Trace Water - Free ATP test detects ATP and so will not detect residues of
products or other analytes with low or zero ATP present
Although the Clean-Trace Water - Free ATP test is very sensitive, a solution cannot be
considered sterile on the basis of a Clean-Trace Water - Free ATP test result.
Do not use the test in direct sunlight.
Remove the sample stick from the sample as soon as the rings have filled with liquid.
Do not insert the sample stick too deep into the sample (only immerse the rings).
