ATP Testing

Relkogroup offer ATP Testing as a service. Floods are one of the most devastating forces of nature. Walls of swirling water wash mud, sewage, and debris into homes and businesses. Yet even when the waters recede the flood damage continues in the form of microbial contamination of the wetted surfaces.

Traditional methods used to validate the effectiveness of flood-related clean up require laboratory services that cost hundreds of pounds and can only usually be carried out several days after the cleaning is completed to obtain the most accurate results. If, after finally getting the results , additional cleaning is needed the entire process starts over again leading to significant time delays. These delays translate into expensive work stoppages for affected businesses or hotel stays for home owners.

The most commonly adopted method for real-time monitoring of cleaning process performance, ATP testing is used throughout the world for its sensitivity, speed and convenience. Based on the measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is present in all animal, vegetable, bacteria, yeast and mould cells and detection of ATP indicates the presence of contamination by any one of these sources. 3M ATP tests provide clear results in seconds.
