The Hygiena SystemSURE Plus SS3 is a portable ATP luminometer used to verify cleaning effectiveness on surfaces and in water samples. It provides results in approximately 15 seconds when used with compatible Hygiena ATP test devices, helping sanitation and QA/QC teams identify areas requiring additional cleaning.
Designed for routine hygiene monitoring, SystemSURE Plus features programmable pass, caution and fail limits, storage for 2,000 results, a backlit display and support for Hygiena SureTrend desktop software.
It is a practical choice for Canadian food processors, breweries, beverage manufacturers, dairy plants, sanitation contractors and other facilities that need consistent ATP cleaning verification without the added features of a touchscreen or cloud-based instrument.
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is found in living cells and biological material. After a surface or water sample is collected, the test device produces a light-generating reaction related to the ATP present.
The SystemSURE Plus luminometer measures this light and reports the result in RLU.
SystemSURE Plus can help teams move from subjective visual inspection to a more consistent and documented cleaning verification process.
SystemSURE Plus requires compatible Hygiena test devices. The instrument and consumable tests are separate components of the testing system.
| Product | What It Tests | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| UltraSnap US2020 | Surface ATP | Equipment, food-contact surfaces, tools and production areas |
| AquaSnap Total AQ-100X | Total ATP in water | CIP rinse water, process water and liquid cleaning verification |
| AquaSnap Free AQ-100FX | Free dissolved ATP in water | Water testing where the free ATP fraction is required |
Each of these test products is available in 100-test packages. The correct format depends on whether your facility needs surface testing, water testing or both.
For water monitoring, AquaSnap Total measures free and microbial ATP together. AquaSnap Free measures ATP dissolved in the sample. The two formats can be used together when an estimate of the microbial ATP portion is needed.

Hygiena offers both SystemSURE Plus and EnSURE Touch for ATP cleaning verification. Both are capable of rapid ATP testing, but they are designed for different levels of data management and operational requirements.
| Feature | SystemSURE Plus | EnSURE Touch |
|---|---|---|
| ATP Measurement | 15 seconds | 10 seconds |
| Display | Backlit LCD and keypad | 5-inch touchscreen |
| Power | Two AA batteries | Rechargeable battery |
| Data Management | SureTrend desktop software | SureTrend Cloud integration |
| Connectivity | Serial connection with appropriate computer adapter | Wi-Fi and USB |
| Best Fit | Routine ATP verification using a conventional handheld instrument | More extensive monitoring with touchscreen operation and cloud reporting |
Choose SystemSURE Plus if your facility primarily needs routine surface or water ATP testing, straightforward controls and conventional result storage.
Consider EnSURE Touch if your facility needs a touchscreen interface, Wi-Fi connectivity, centralized cloud reporting or a broader Hygiena testing program.
For new facilities, we recommend considering expected test volume, reporting requirements, computer compatibility and ongoing swab costs before selecting an instrument.

SystemSURE Plus can store test results in the instrument and supports transferring data to Hygiena SureTrend desktop software for reviewing and documenting sanitation performance.
The instrument uses a serial interface. Computer connection may require the appropriate cable, USB adapter and drivers. Facilities using newer Windows computers or managed corporate IT systems should confirm software compatibility before ordering.
SystemSURE Plus performs an internal calibration self-check during startup. The optional Hygiena PCD4000 Calibration Control Kit provides an additional method of verifying instrument performance.
Hygiena also offers the CK25 ATP Positive Control Kit for checking ATP test device performance.
Before purchasing a luminometer, it helps to identify how your facility will use it. A few practical considerations can make ongoing testing easier and prevent unnecessary consumable purchases.
For repeat testing programs, Cambridge can help estimate ongoing UltraSnap or AquaSnap requirements and discuss purchasing options for Canadian facilities.
Cambridge Environmental Products Inc. is a Canadian-owned laboratory equipment and scientific supply distributor serving Canadian customers since 1993.
We work with food and beverage processors, breweries, dairy facilities, industrial QA/QC teams, research laboratories and sanitation professionals across Canada.
Our role is not simply to supply an instrument. We want to help you choose a system that fits your facility, understand the ongoing test requirements and avoid compatibility or purchasing surprises.
If you are introducing ATP testing or replacing an existing system, our team can help you compare SystemSURE Plus, EnSURE Touch and the compatible Hygiena test devices.
SystemSURE Plus is a handheld ATP luminometer used to verify cleaning effectiveness on surfaces and in compatible water samples. It supports routine hygiene monitoring and sanitation verification programs.
The instrument provides ATP readings in approximately 15 seconds after a prepared Hygiena test device is inserted and the measurement is started.
SystemSURE Plus uses a conventional LCD and keypad and supports desktop data transfer. EnSURE Touch offers a touchscreen, rechargeable battery, Wi-Fi connectivity and SureTrend Cloud integration. Both support ATP hygiene monitoring, but EnSURE Touch offers more extensive data management options.
SystemSURE Plus is compatible with Hygiena UltraSnap surface ATP tests and AquaSnap Total and AquaSnap Free water ATP tests. Compatibility with other Hygiena test devices should be confirmed for the specific application.
Do not assume that UltraSnap or AquaSnap consumables are included with the instrument. They are normally ordered separately unless the quoted package specifically includes them.
Yes. Breweries, dairy plants and beverage manufacturers can use SystemSURE Plus with appropriate Hygiena test devices to check cleaned equipment, production surfaces and selected water or rinse-water samples.
ATP testing detects an indicator of biological residue and cleaning effectiveness. It does not directly count bacteria or identify specific pathogens. Required microbiological testing must be performed separately.
The instrument performs an internal calibration self-check at startup. Hygiena offers the optional PCD4000 Calibration Control Kit for additional verification. Follow the manufacturer's guidance and your facility's quality procedures.
Yes. The system supports result transfer to compatible SureTrend desktop software. Computer connection and software compatibility should be confirmed, particularly for newer operating systems.
Yes. Cambridge Environmental can help Canadian facilities compare instrument options, select compatible swabs and estimate ongoing testing requirements based on the number of locations and expected testing frequency.
