But as obvious as the advantages of using an ATP detection system seem to be, I routinely spend a lot of time with food safety professionals to help them understand what ATP detection systems cannot do well.â What ATP Sanitation Monitoring Systems Detect. ATP is the energy source in all living cells. Since virtually all of the food and beverages produced were once living, they contain ATP. Microbiological organisms, like bacteria, yeast and mold, also contain ATP.
Assays based on Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is often very cheap, rapid and very easy to perform but compared to the Mycometer they are much less reliable. The ATP molecule is present in all living organisms which is not the case for the enzyme (N-acetylhexos-aminidase (NAHA)) that is measured in the Mycometer test. The thick walled fungal cells has to be opened in order to be able to measure ATP while no extraction is necessary to measure NAHA.
