    AccuPoint 2 Sanitation Monitoring System with RFID Option

    Intended UseNeogens AccuPoint 2 ATP Sanitation Monitoring System is a lightweight, handheld system that validates the effectiveness of a sanitation program by detecting food residues and microorganisms present on surfaces and in liquids. The system utilizes easy-to-use AccuPoint samplers, which automatically mix prepared reagents to quickly generate results.

    The TestThe AccuPoint 2 system utilizes ATP bioluminescence to determine the cleanliness of test samples. ATP is a chemical compound found in all living cells, including bacteria, food debris, yeast and mold. Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that produces light. ATP bioluminescence occurs when ATP from a sample comes into contact with luciferase, an enzyme found in fireflies, and luciferin, a substrate. The amount of light emitted in this reaction is proportional to the amount of ATP detected in a sample.

    Sanitation monitoring is now easier and more streamlined with the AccuPoint 2 Sanitation Monitoring System, which features radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The new system, coupled with the updated Data Manager software, saves facilities precious resources that otherwise would be devoted to developing complex and time-consuming test plans.

    With the AccuPoint 2 and the included Data Manager software, the user can easily create a sanitation plan and sync it to the reader. Once synced, all it takes is a simple swipe over the RFID tag, which is housed in a brightly colored six inch by six inch sign placed near the beginning of a production line. All a supervisor has to do is identify test sites just once as either being mandatory (tested every day), or as being of lower risk (tested randomly). With this information, a test plan can be automatically populated on a daily basis completely eliminating the supervisors need to perform this task each day.

    Simply stated, the use of RFID technology is a better way to collect ATP test results.

    Three samplers engineered for precise sampling in each unique applicationflat surfaces, water samples and tight spaces such as small orifices and channels

    After a sample is taken, the sampler is pressed into its cartridge, breaking its seal and initiating the mixing of reagents. The cartridge contains a buffering solution, which flushes the ATP onto a pad containing the reagents. The reaction takes place within the cartridge and a detector measures the amount of light produced. The reading is displayed on the LCD display in RLU. According to preset limits, an icon is displayed indicating a pass, marginal or fail result. These limits are defined by the operator or by using the system presets.

    Consistently AccurateThe samplers vertical sampling technique increases downward pressure on the surface. This helps penetrate surface crevasses, and break-up existing biofilms to uncover previously protected organisms. The sponge will reabsorb the liquid, with any present organic matter or bacteria, for consistently accurate results.

    ResultsAfter the countdown, the data reading is displayed. Easy to interpret icons indicate a pass, marginal or fail result. Results can be recorded, and uploaded to a PC for easy data analysis.

    AccuPoint comes with Data Manager software that allows customers to: upload results to a PC, set pass/caution/fail levels, create and print trend analysis graphs, export data to spreadsheets, and keep a record of sanitation effectiveness to verify sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs). Results can be presented in a clear chart format showing the actual measurement in color coded green (pass), yellow (caution) and red (fail) for extra clarity. Accumulated results can be graphed using pie charts, over a variety of criteria, for clear pictures of sanitation testing results and trends.

    The Procedure

    3. Shake cartridge twice.

    4. Press the eject button and insert the sampler into the instrument. Close unit door and read results.

    1. Sample surface or water.

    Use the Access sampler for tight spaces.

    2. Return the sampler to its cartridge and insert all of the way.
