Product Overview
The Clean-Trace® Luminometer LM1 is the handheld reader at the centre of Neogen's Clean-Trace® Hygiene Monitoring and Management System, alongside Clean-Trace® Tests and the Clean-Trace® Hygiene Management Software. The system detects adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on surfaces or in water samples as a measure of contamination, supporting hygiene verification and audit readiness in food and beverage manufacturing environments. ATP is present across animal and vegetable material, including food debris and living or dead microorganisms, making it a practical general indicator of residual soil or biological contamination.
Detection is based on ATP bioluminescence: the Clean-Trace® Tests use a luciferin/luciferase enzyme reaction to produce light in proportion to the ATP present in the sample. The LM1 measures the intensity of this light and displays the result in Relative Light Units (RLU) on its 5.5 × 7.5 cm touch screen. Each site establishes its own RLU pass, caution, and fail thresholds through a validation study on its own surfaces or water samples, so results are interpreted against site-specific criteria rather than a fixed universal scale.
Results transfer to the Clean-Trace® Hygiene Monitoring and Management Software over USB or wireless connection, where they can be tracked over time across sites, lines, and shifts. The software interface is available in 23 languages, supporting multilingual production teams. A fail result allows the test point to be re-cleaned and retested before production begins, and the accumulated results feed into the broader decision on whether to release a line for food or beverage production.
The LM1 is supplied as the luminometer and software package only. It is used together with Clean-Trace® Surface ATP UXL100 swabs, Clean-Trace® Water Plus – Total ATP AQT200, or Clean-Trace® Water – Free ATP AQF100 test devices, each sold separately, depending on the sample type being tested.

Intended Use
The LM1 is a battery-operated luminometer used for the objective, sensitive determination of Clean-Trace® ATP test results. Its power supply is used to charge the internal battery. The Clean-Trace® Hygiene Management Software handles the transfer, organisation, and storage of the data the tests generate.
The LM1, its power supply, and the Clean-Trace® Hygiene Management Software are intended for use only with Neogen-evaluated products and applications. The luminometer is not intended for use in potentially flammable or explosive environments. A sensitive result does not mean a surface or solution is sterile, and the system is not intended for diagnostic use in humans or animals. Lasec® recommends that the Clean-Trace® system be operated by technicians trained on Clean-Trace® ATP test methods, and that users confirm the applicable workplace regulations for their site. Using the product outside its specified conditions may impair the protection it provides.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Clean-Trace® ATP Hygiene Monitoring Luminometer, Model LM1
Q: What is the Clean-Trace® ATP Hygiene Monitoring Luminometer LM1?
A: The Clean-Trace® LM1 is a handheld ATP luminometer used within the Clean-Trace® Hygiene Monitoring and Management System. It measures ATP from compatible surface or water tests and reports quantitative results in Relative Light Units (RLU).
Q: What does the Clean-Trace® LM1 measure?
A: The LM1 measures adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP can be present in food debris and other animal or vegetable material, as well as living or dead microorganisms, making it a general indicator of residual biological contamination.
Q: How does the Clean-Trace® LM1 detect ATP?
A: Compatible Clean-Trace® tests use a luciferin/luciferase bioluminescence reaction. The reaction produces light in proportion to the ATP present, and the LM1 measures the intensity of that light.
Q: What units does the LM1 use to report results?
A: Results are reported quantitatively in Relative Light Units (RLU).
Q: Does the LM1 have fixed pass and fail limits?
A: No. Pass, caution and fail thresholds are site-specific and should be established through an on-site validation study using the facility’s own surfaces or water samples rather than relying on a universal RLU threshold.
Q: What happens when a test point receives a fail result?
A: A failed test point can be re-cleaned and retested before production begins. Results can also contribute to the broader decision on whether a production line is ready for food or beverage production.
Q: What type of display does the Clean-Trace® LM1 have?
A: The LM1 features a 5.5 × 7.5 cm touch screen for viewing results and navigating the instrument.
Q: Is the Clean-Trace® LM1 portable?
