Abstract:
A study was performed to optimise a rapid method to determine the microbial content on surfaces by means of flow and batch microplate ATP bioluminescent assay. Sampling, ATP extraction and testing of these specimens were considered. The data obtained gave a general picture of the state of hygiene and cleanliness of the surfaces examined, mainly classrooms.
