Meet the new guardian of the line! When it comes to hygiene monitoring, you've got a lot on the line and accurate information is critical. But not all systems are the same. Keep things moving with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Hygiene Monitoring and Management System, now re-engineered and more reliable. It helps you quickly prepare for and pass your audits. It's designed to give you peace of mind with improved accuracy and breakthrough technology. It's go time. The system comes complete with luminometer and software and is used with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface ATP UXL100, 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water Plus - Total ATP AQT200 and 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Water - Free ATP AQF100 to determine the level of contamination in a sample.
Powerful. Flexible. Indispensable. The redesigned 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer features improved ease of use, faster time to result, and simple one-handed operation. Its ergonomic design makes testing simple, minimizing training time and costs. And with a higher degree of repeatability and lower variability, you will get accurate results you can count on.
Food allergens are typically naturally-occurring proteins in foods or derivatives of them that cause abnormal immune responses. Food allergen can cause life-threatening reactions to certain consumers. Hence, it is important to test for presence of food allergens.
According to SFA, the following foods and ingredients are known to cause hypersensitivity and must be declared in the food labels:
| Group | Ingredients | |
|---|---|---|
| Cereals containing gluten | Wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, their hybridized strains and their products | |
| Crustacean and crustacean products | Crayfish, prawns, shrimps, lobsters, crabs and their products | |
| Eggs and egg products | Eggs from laying hen, duck, turkey, quail, goose, gull, guinea fowl and their products | |
| Fish and fish products | Molluscs such as oysters, clams, scallops and their products | |
| Peanuts, soybeans and their products | Peanuts, which may be declared using "groundnuts" or similar terms, and soybeans, which may be declared using terms such as "soya" or "soy" | |
| Milk and milk products (including lactose) |
Milk from cows, buffaloes, goats and their products | |
| Tree nuts and nut products | Almond, hazelnut, walnut, cashew nut, pecan nut, Brazil nut, pistachio nut, macadamia nut and their products | |
| Sulphites in concentrates of 10mg/kg or more | Sulphites directly added and/or carried over from food ingredients at a total concentration of 10mg/kg or more (calculated in terms of total sulphur dioxide) | |

Residues remaining on surfaces indicate poor cleaning and could contain potentially allergenic proteins, which could lead to product contamination.
3M Clean-Trace Surface Protein (Allergen) Test Swab ALLTEC60 is a simple method of checking for removal of protein residues after cleaning. As the majority of allergens are proteins, if a surface is found to be protein-free, it is also free of protein-based allergens.
Detects as little as 3 µg of protein on surfaces and in hard to reach areas.
Validated for a range of allergenic proteins, including egg, milk, gluten, soy, peanut, almond and buckwheat.
