The Clean-Trace System detects adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a substance found in all living cells and present on any contaminated surface. Samples from high-touch surfaces in a hospital, such as bed rails, light switches or nurse call buttons, are collected using the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP Surface Test. If the test picks up any organic material (ATP), it will emit light in direct proportion to the contamination level which can be read and quantified by the hand-held 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer. Data collected can be uploaded to the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Online Software which provides the users advanced data analysis with tracking and full trending capabilities including automatic report generation.
