Charm Tests for the Honey Industry
Charm provides many types of rapid diagnostic tests that can help the Honey industry improve food safety and quality. For the apiculture industry, antibiotics are a vital component of treatment and elimination of disease in both brood and adult bees. To help ensure a residue-free finished product, Charm has developed multiple rapid antibiotic tests for honey that reduce the required testing time to less than an hour!  In addition, Charm’s ATP based sanitation program helps honey processors ensure food safety and reduce contamination risks by providing instant assessment of the hygienic status of surfaces within honey production facilities.

• PocketSwab
• FieldSwab
• WaterGiene

Charm II Charm II is a multipurpose Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) and Luminometer System that can test a wide range of residues in meat tissues, dairy, animal urine, farmed fish, farmed shrimp, eggs, feed and honey. The variety of tests along with system reliability has made Charm II the “Gold Standard” worldwide in residue avoidance programs. Charm II is unmatched in its diagnostic menu for antibiotics/antimicrobial drugs.

PocketSwab Plus The PocketSwab Plus is a room-temperature stable, self-contained, single service rapid ATP hygiene test that enables total surface hygiene verification in less than 25 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

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

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
