AccuPoint Advanced ATP Sanitation Monitoring System for food processing

Neogen has received approval from the AOAC Research Institute for its AccuPoint Advanced ATP Sanitation Monitoring System.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sanitation monitoring systems are used in the food industry to instantly assess the effectiveness of sanitation programs. The system is the first of its type to receive an AOAC approval, according to the company, and the approval follows a study by NSF International that showed AccuPoint Advanced exceeded the performance of competitive systems.

The results in the AOAC validation report (Performance Tested Method 091601) provided evidence that the system produces consistent and reliable data for evaluating sanitation program effectiveness in food processing and foodservice facilities.

The system is an enhanced version of the earlier AccuPoint test system. Improvements include: improved sampler chemistry to produce more consistent results with greater sensitivity; an enhanced instrument to produce faster results (less than 20 s); and advanced Data Manager software to streamline the testing process by creating test plans and syncing important data, while keeping a permanent record of sanitation test results.
