ATP Fluorescence Detector

Product Introduction

The HM-ATP ATP Fluorescence Detector from HM Instruments is a portable hygiene monitoring instrument designed for rapid verification of surface cleanliness and water quality across food processing, healthcare, and water treatment facilities. Based on the firefly luciferase-luciferin bioluminescence reaction, the instrument detects adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—a molecule present in all living cells—to provide a quantitative measure of organic residue in just 15 seconds. Unlike traditional microbial culture methods requiring 18–48 hours for results, the HM-ATP enables real-time decision-making that prevents contamination events before they affect product quality or patient safety. Powered by a 32-bit high-speed data processing chip and featuring a 3.5-inch high-precision graphical touchscreen, the instrument delivers detection sensitivity reaching 1×10⁻¹⁸ mol ATP with user-configurable pass/fail thresholds and automatic 30-second startup self-calibration. The HM-ATP is the entry-level model in the ATP detector lineup, offering essential hygiene monitoring capability at an accessible price point.

Functional Performance / Features

1. Ultra-Fast 15-Second Detection: Delivers RLU readings in 15 seconds, enabling real-time hygiene decisions on production lines and in healthcare facilities—compared to 18–48 hours for traditional lab cultures.

2. Exceptional Detection Sensitivity: Achieves 1×10⁻¹⁵ to 1×10⁻¹⁸ mol ATP detection sensitivity with 90–110% ATP recovery rate and ±5% or ±5 RLUs detection interference.

3. Automatic 30-Second Self-Calibration: Built-in self-calibration light source checks sensor performance at every startup, maintaining accuracy without external calibration standards.

4. User-Configurable Pass/Fail Thresholds: Set custom upper and lower RLU limits for different surface types; the instrument provides automatic on-screen pass/fail judgments.

5. 32-Bit High-Speed Processor: Reliable data processing chip ensures consistent measurement performance across extended testing sessions.

6. 3.5-Inch High-Precision Graphical Touchscreen: Clear interface displaying detection results, history, and settings with intuitive touchscreen operation.

7. Dual Swab Compatibility: Supports both solid surface swabs for equipment and environmental monitoring, and water quality swabs for liquid sample testing.

8. Stable Liquid Luciferase Reagent: Pre-moistened integrated collection swabs with liquid-stable enzyme chemistry ensure consistent, reproducible results.

9. PC Data Connectivity: miniUSB interface for data transfer to PC, with included U盘 software driver and data analysis software.

10. Extended Battery Life: 3,000 mAh lithium battery provides full-shift field operation, with up to 6 months standby at 20°C.
