Bacteria are covered by a thin, hard outer layer called the S-layer that protects the bacteria from the environment.
The S-layers in bacteria cells are composed of an array of two-dimensional proteins with a crystalline structure.
Bactiscan detects these protein shells with the help of high calibration LED wavelengths that work at the edges of the UV spectrum.
By utilizing four separate UV wavelengths, once merged, will bounce off the protein crystal and emit an unmistakable green glow, often described as a green hue.
Bactiscan’s™ unique wave altering UV system enables users to immediately identify and isolate biofilms, mold, and bacteria such as listeria, E. coli, salmonella Montevideo and pseudomonas Aeruginosa.
Cleanspect Environmental Hygiene Monitoring is a rapid examination technique used by various industries, including food and beverage processors and healthcare, to ensure surfaces and equipment are clean.
Using advanced UV-based imaging technology, Cleanspect detects bacteria, biofilms, mold, and organic residues on surfaces, indicating improper cleaning and potential contamination. This helps identify issues like food residue, allergens, or bacterial growth.
The system is used to minimize contamination through effective cleaning, sanitation, and disinfection processes, preventing healthcare-associated infections, ensuring product integrity, extending shelf life, preventing food-borne illnesses, and protecting brand reputation.
Cleanspect™ is used to ensure cleanliness and prevent contamination on surfaces that come into contact with food products, complying with HACCP and other regulatory requirements, thus improving overall food safety.
Yes, Cleanspect™ is used in hospitals to measure cleanliness and reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by ensuring that medical instruments and surfaces are free from microbial contaminants.
Absolutely. Cleanspect™ helps maintain sterile conditions in pharmaceutical manufacturing by detecting and preventing contamination on equipment and surfaces.
A biofilm is a complex aggregation of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or algae, embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). This matrix is primarily composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Biofilms can form on various surfaces, including living tissues, medical devices, industrial equipment, and natural environments. Cleanspect rapidly detects surface biofilms.
Unlike ATP testing, you can scan a surface before or after cleaning and sanitization. Also, unlike ATP, using sanitizers will not affect the accuracy of the Cleanspect device.
Cleaning involves removing organic material and reducing the likelihood of contamination or microbial growth.
Microbiological hazards can be reduced by disinfection to a minimum, but not necessarily eliminated completely.
Sterilization destroys and inactivates all microbial hazards.
In contrast to other monitoring technologies, Cleanspect quickly scans all surfaces, including food-contact zones (direct and indirect). Any contaminants present on direct contact surfaces can contaminate the final product. The indirect contact points are those where dust, liquid, or splashed product has the potential to drip, drain, or transfer to the end product. Filler heads, O-rings, nozzles, and surfaces with irregular shapes, corners, grooves, and cracks can be among the hardest to clean.
Surfaces do not have to be dry to perform a Cleanspect scan. However, for consistency, consider scanning surfaces in the same conditions (either always wet or always dry).
Cleanspect™ enables you to illuminate the entire surface and get an immediate result, so within seconds you can detect contamination that would take hours with other technologies. It is superior to other methods for large surface contamination detection devices because it provides immediate results to make the remediation job effective.
Cleanspect™ indicates the presence of microorganisms at low and high levels of contamination, allowing easy identification of areas in which cleaning had not been effective. It provides immediate detection and documentation of contaminants on surfaces that may cause disease spread.
Unlike ATP monitoring, Cleanspect offers flexibility in tailoring and integrating into your cleaning and sanitization protocols. Cleanspect can easily assess cleaning efficacy both before and after the cleaning process.
ATP swab manufacturers recommend not using swabs on dirty or soiled surfaces as they often produce a “Fail” result, except for pre-clean and post-clean tests that are performed by sanitation companies and chemical suppliers. They state that these tests should not be confused with regular ATP monitoring programs, which should only be conducted after cleaning.
Furthermore, ATP manufacturers suggest monitoring only a statistically representative sample of locations rather than every single one. This approach can be problematic and increase the risk of significant contamination, highlighting a major difference between Cleanspect and ATP monitoring.
In contrast, Cleanspect can be used, before, during, or after cleaning and sanitation.
Cleanspect offers a highly sensitive method for detecting surface contamination, making it ideal for sterile services. By using Cleanspect scanning before terminal sterilization, you can ensure that the external surfaces of endoscopes and surgical instruments are thoroughly cleaned and ready for sterilization. To verify the cleanliness of endoscopes, Cleanspect can be used alongside ATP testing. Unlike ATP test devices, which cannot swab the entire surface of endoscopes or surgical instruments, Cleanspect can quickly and accurately scan these surfaces. Additionally, the EndoSwab sample collection device can be used to gather samples from the main endoscope channel to confirm that the internal channel has been effectively cleaned.
Using UV, Ozone, or HPV to kill bacteria is usually effective on surfaces. However, thorough cleaning is recommended before applying these technologies to ensure successful sterilization. Therefore, it is important to verify cleaning thoroughness before sterilization.
Using Cleanspect testing before terminal sterilization ensures that the room has been thoroughly cleaned and is ready for UV, Ozone, or HPV sterilization. Additionally, Cleanspect testing should be conducted after terminal sterilization to confirm that cleaning was thoroughly performed. This is because UV light sterilization tools sometimes do not produce the appropriate UV levels, potentially leaving residual microbes on treated surfaces.
By using Cleanspect, you can determine whether the UV sterilization tools are consistently and effectively destroying viruses and bacteria by detecting any microbial residues on surfaces after terminal sterilization.
