CleanTrustTM ATP water testing devices are self-contained ATP tests designed for use with YZ3500 luminometers. These tests monitor ATP levels in water as a quality indicator, commonly employed inclean-in-place (ClP) systems and rinse water samples. Additionally, they are utilized in healthcare forwater treatment applications and for monitoring biomass in cooling towers.
CleanTrustTM TOTAL measures both ATP contained within living cells and particulate matter (microbialATP) as well as ATP dissolved in water (non-microbial or dead microbial ATP).
CleanTrustTM FREE measures only dissolved ATP outside of living cells (non-microbial ATP).
Used together, CleanTrusTM TOTAl and CleanTrustTM FREE can be an effective quality monitoring system.The difference between Total and Free swab results represents ATP from living organisms (also referred to as biomass).

Storage & Shelf Life: 2-8°C , store away from light, valid for 12 months
Operation Procedure:
1) Forcefully flick the swab in a downward motion to shake the liquid extractant from the sample collection dipper to the bottom of the tube. Note: this is important for accurate extraction of ATP and helps with sample collection consistency. If ATP WaterFree Swab is used, this step can be skipped.
2) Holding the tube firmly, twist and pull the top of the collection dipper out of the tube.
3) Submerge the collection dipper in the water sample and shake until the bubbles disappear.
4) Lifting vertically, remove the collection dipper from the sample and reinsert into the tube.
5) Gently shake the swab for 1 – 2 seconds to mix the water sample with the extractant at the bottom of the tube.
6) To activate the swab, hold the tube firmly and use your thumb and forefinger to break the Snap-Valve by bending the bulb forward and backward. Squeeze the bulb twice to expel all the liquid into the tube.
7) Shake for 3 – 5 seconds to mix the sample. Once activated, the sample must be read in the luminometer within 15 seconds.
8) Holding the luminometer upright, insert the entire ATP Water Swab into the luminometer.Refer to the instrument manual for operating instructions.
