ATP Hygiene/Swabs Validating and verifying effectiveness of cleaning and sanitation programs is critial to ethanol plants, grain processors and handlers of stored grain. Charm Sciences offers multiple luminescence swab tests to detect ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in seconds for both surface and water hygiene verification. A complimentary non-instrument based, color-based swab, the VERIcleen, is also available for sanitation monitoring programs.

PocketSwab Plus ATP Swab The PocketSwab Plus is a room-temperature stable, self-contained, single service rapid ATP hygiene test that enables total surface hygiene verification in 5 seconds.
POCKETSWAB PLUS AT A GLANCE • Surface hygiene verification • 1-year shelf-life at room temperature • Total sanitation indicator: Microbial, product residue, personal hygiene, SSOP deviation • No reagent preparation • Re-sealable foil bag for easy storage • Recyclable components for low environmental impact
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·<!--[endif]-->Rapid One Step Assay (ROSA®)
WaterGiene WaterGiene is a super-enhanced test to detect total ATP in water, which is a critical indicator of total biologic activity resulting from microorganisms, as well as plant, animal or food material. WaterGiene is the most sensitive ATP water quality test due to enhanced reagent chemistry and superior bioluminescence detection on the Charm novaLUM instrument. WATERGIENE AT A GLANCE WaterGiene is useful for detecting: • ATP in Rinse Water • ATP in Clean-in-Place (CIP) Systems • ATP in Water Storage Tanks • ATP on Cooling Towers (Water Economizers) • ATP in Warmers •ATP in Potable Water • ATP in Post-Wastewater Treatment

FieldSwab Charm FieldSwab is a room-temperature stable hygiene swab that rapidly detects ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as a measure of surface cleanliness. FieldSwab is uniquely engineered to allow food safety programs to be implemented outdoors in “field” type applications or environments.
FIELDSWAB AT A GLANCE • Enhanced sensitivity to ATP • Uniquely engineered to allow analysis outdoors in “field” • 1-year shelf-life at room temperature • No reagent preparation • Foam tip pre-moistened with biofilm breaking agent •Patented thread design for ease and repeatability • Recyclable components for low environmental impact

Charm Sciences offers a non-instrument based alternative for contact surface hygiene verification and hand washing compliance. Consisting of a single test strip that is read visually, the VERIcleen test produces a simple interpretation of surface cleanliness. Organic residues can be nutrients for bacterial contamination, and they impede disinfectant and sanitizer effectiveness. VERIcleen strips validate the quality of cleaning of both product contact surfaces and employee hands by detecting organic material in less than 1 minute. VERICLEEN AT A GLANCE • Detects organic/food residues on surfaces and hands • Multiple analytes detected in a single test, e.g., lactose • Simple: Wet surface, wipe, and watch • Cost-effective: No instrument required • Fast: 5 to 60 seconds • Accurate and repeatable • Ideal for food service/retail establishments
