MVP ICON^® Liquid Sampling Device

The MVP ICON Liquid Sampling Device is a self-contained device for the analysis of liquid samples (i.e. rinse water) using the MVP ICON system. The MVP ICON system detects food and microbiological residue by measuring Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using luciferase bioluminescence. ATP is found in most food residues and all bacteria, yeast and mold cells. The sample device features one-step, one-hand activation, freeing the other hand to perform other operations. All test reagents are contained within the sampling device.

ATP Bioluminescence

ATP Testing, Food Processing, HACCP Monitoring, Sanitation

The detection of ATP through bioluminescence is a well-established and widely used indicator of hygiene and cleaning efficacy in food processing. ATP detection with the MVP ICON provides results in 10 seconds allowing for immediate "go/no-go" decisions to be made prior to the start of processing and allows for correction actions, when necessary, to be taken immediately. ATP is a molecule that is found in all living cells, including: bacteria, yeast, mold and all organic matter.

Ease of Use
The MVP ICON ATP Liquid Sampling Device allows users to quickly collect and measure ATP content of liquid samples, such as CIP rinse water, directly from their source without pipetting or use of a sampling container.

Increased Accuracy and Repeatability
Upon activation, the proprietary test reagent flows through the hollow sampling device shaft to evenly wash ATP off sampling tip into bottom of the collection tube, ensuring a high degree of accuracy. The light output of the reagent solution is measured, not the solid device surface, ensuring a high degree of repeatability.

Convenient Storage
Store sampling devices at room temperature – no refrigeration needed; saving precious refrigeration space for other necessities.

Sampling devices should be stored at a temperature between 2 ºC - 30 ºC (36 °F - 86 ºF). Protect from direct sunlight. Unused devices must be resealed in the foil bags.
