BELLEVUE, Wash., September 7, 2004 - BioControl Systems, Inc. announces an innovation in sanitation monitoring- a cost-effective and precise method for measuring sanitizer and cleanser solution concentrations. An industry first, the LIGHTNING MVP Conductivity Probe is a reusable probe that allows food processors to measure sanitizer concentration and conductivity with the same instrument they use to measure ATP, pH and temperature. This addition to the LIGHTNING MVP system will allow food manufacturing plants to save money and reduce risk by tightly controlling their sanitizer concentrations. Providing a precise measurement for managing sanitizer concentration presents a significant economic benefit to end-users. Overmixing sanitizers and cleansers by even a few percentages can quickly amount to tens of thousands of dollars a year in wasted chemicals. Conversely, undermixing can endanger plant safety when the use solution does not effectively sanitize a surface. Current methods of measuring sanitizer concentration, such as chemical strips and titration kits, offer results as a range and are subjective, based on an employee-interpreted color change. This method produces an accuracy rate of only +- 25%. The LIGHTNING MVP provides a single, accurate number with variation of +-5%„ -reported in parts-per-million (ppm)„ - which is automatically logged, creating a strong, unalterable audit trail.
"ATP measurement as an indicator of plant sanitation has been widely used throughout the food industry. We've always had the vision that the LIGHTNING MVP would provide value far beyond sanitation monitoring." states Philip Feldsine, President and CEO of BioControl. "By adding concentration/ppm and conductivity to its measurement capabilities, we offer an instrument that monitors both sanitation and HACCP programs - reducing both cost and risk for our customers."
