WaterGiene ATP Swab – for Water Quality
The WaterGiene® Swab by Charm® is a simple, 20-second test with enhanced sensitivity that measures total ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in water samples and on moist surfaces.
The presence of ATP is a reliable indicator of biological contamination, as it is associated with microorganisms as well as plant, animal, food, and other organic residues.
Thanks to its high sensitivity, WaterGiene® enables rapid corrective action in critical environments such as:
-
Purified water systems
-
Food processing facilities
-
Healthcare and hospital environments
WaterGiene™ – ATP Swab for Water Quality Control
Fast and accurate ATP detection in water and moist surfaces, with results in just 20 seconds.
-
High sensitivity: Detects low levels of biological contamination (microorganisms, organic residues).
-
Versatile application: Use directly in water samples by shaking or on surfaces by swabbing.
-
Recyclable components: Supports sustainability and waste reduction programs.
-
Ideal for rapid hygiene verification in food processing plants, purified water systems, hospitals, and other critical sanitary environments.
-
Enables immediate corrective action, reducing the risk of cross-contamination or cleaning failures.
-
Compatible with the novaLUM II-X luminometer and novaLINK software for data management and audit compliance.
WaterGiene Procedural Flow Chart
 |
Withdraw the swab by gently pulling and twisting the swab handle. |
 |
Saturate swab by dipping into liquid for 5 seconds. |
 |
Reinsert the swab and twist the handle down. Gently shake side to side 3 times. |
 |
Unscrew swab handle completely and shake WaterGiene test 3 times while holding handle so that liquid is forced down into the microtube. Twist handle down again. |
 |
Remove black microcap and verify the white tablet is broken up before inserting into the novaLUM II-X system. |
