ATP and Viruses

[Anonymous]

Good morning,

I wanted to share a paper that was brought to our attention overnight that
may be of interest;

Use of ATP Readings to Predict a Successful Hygiene Intervention in the
Workplace to Reduce the Spread of Viruses on Formites.

The authors concluded;

“ATP measurements correlated significantly with reduced viral recovery and
showed statistically significant differences in measurements taken before
and after an intervention. This suggests that although ATP readings do not
specifically predict the occurrence or degree of reduction in microbial
contamination, the method can be useful for monitoring the success of health
interventions in the workplace in terms of the reduction in the spread of a
virus.”

It is also important when evaluating ATP testing tools, to take into account
the quality of the ATP system and more importantly, the accuracy of the ATP
test itself.

Kind Regards
