Why Attend?
Cleanliness is not just a necessity but a benchmark for quality. Understanding how and when to measure the cleanliness of surfaces using an ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) meter and how to measure Indoor Air Quality is crucial. Our workshop is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills to use ATP meters and Indoor Air Quality monitors effectively, ensuring the highest standards of your cleaning protocols for a healthier and safer environment.
What Will You Learn?
- The science behind ATP surface testing and monitoring Indoor Air Quality: Understand the fundamentals of ATP and its role in measuring cleanliness and Indoor Air Quality.
- Hands-On-Training; Get practical experience in using ATP meters on various surfaces. And what do Indoor Air Quality monitors measure and what do those numbers mean?
- Interpreting Results: Learn how to read and interpret data for effective decision-making.
- Improving Cleaning Protocols: Utilize ATP testing and Indoor Air Quality Monitors to enhance your existing cleaning procedures.
- Real-World Examples and Best Practices: Learn from real-world case studies.
- Troubleshooting Tips: Gain insights into common challenges and solutions in using ATP testing and measuring Indoor Air Quality with a monitor.

ATP tests for hygiene monitoring are used in food processing because they are fast, easy to use, and cost-effective. Recent research has characterized the limitations of conventional ATP tests—limitations that can lead to false negative hygiene assessments. The issue relates to the tendency of ATP to degrade in many soils and under common plant environmental conditions. If this depletion occurs, ATP-based assessments become increasingly less sensitive and may yield indications that the surface in question is clean when, in fact, significant levels of soil may still remain. Conditions resulting in ATP depletion are most common in typical manufacturing venues and can result in a false negative in areas sensitive to food hygiene maintenance. This webinar will present recent research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison demonstrating this ATP-depletion phenomenon and how processors can guard against such false negative assessments.
Learning objectives:
- Why ATP tests may show false negative assessments
- Which food, and which food processors, are most at risk for these false negative assessments
- How this issue with ATP may be impacting your sanitation program
