Using ATP to Create Protocols

Name: Using ATP to Create Protocols
Price: 20 AUD
Availability: InStock

A CARSI-issued credential — not an IICRC certification. CARSI is an IICRC CEC Accredited provider, so this course counts toward maintaining a certification you already hold. IICRC certification itself is obtained through an IICRC-approved school and examination. Every CARSI credential gets a public verification page an employer or insurer can check without contacting us.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) bioluminescence testing is the industry standard method for verifying surface hygiene after cleaning and disinfection. This course teaches restoration and hygiene professionals how to use ATP meters correctly, how to interpret results, how to establish site-specific benchmarks, and how to build ATP-based cleaning verification protocols that satisfy insurance, regulatory, and client audit requirements.

ATP is a molecule found in all living cells. ATP meters measure the light produced when ATP reacts with the luciferin-luciferase enzyme system — the result is expressed in Relative Light Units (RLU).

RLU (Relative Light Units): the unit of measurement produced by an ATP meter — higher RLU = more organic matter and microbial activity present

Bioluminescence: the light-producing reaction that drives ATP testing — instantaneous, requiring no laboratory wait time

ATP meters: handheld devices with single-use swab-vials — common brands include Hygiena SystemSURE Plus, 3M Clean-Trace, Neogen AccuPoint

Swab technique: surface contact area is standardised at 10 cm x 10 cm for consistent, comparable results across sites and over time

Pass and fail thresholds: set by the operator based on surface type, risk category, and client or regulatory requirement — not universal

Total ATP: includes both microbial ATP and non-microbial organic residue — useful for general surface cleanliness verification

Field Action: Before using an ATP meter on a new job type, establish your baseline by testing clean reference surfaces before any contamination event. This gives you a site-specific pass threshold based on actual conditions rather than generic manufacturer values.
