Sanitation Monitoring & Infection Control
The presence of bacteria on surfaces is a problem in many areas. Everywhere from the many food industries, to hotels and cruise ships, to various hospital settings concerning infection control. ATP is often used to check surfaces. However, ATP detects the presence of all organic matter and not just bacteria. EnZtek tests will detect only the presence of bacteria.
The level of detection is also important. The EnZquik Colormetric Screening Tests can detect 1,000 cfu or greater of bacteria per sample, and the EnZquik Fluorescent Assays can detect at levels less than 1,000 cfu. Better detection level than ATP: If bacteria is present on a surface, ATP requires 100,000 cfu or more bacteria to be present in an environmental sample to be positive. In a pure culture it takes 10,000 cfu of bacteria for a positive ATP test.
EnZtek is proud to offer it’s test for MRSA Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is a serious problem, and is not just a serious hospital acquired infection, but can also be found in locker rooms, schools and nursing homes.
