Overview
Hygiena PRO-Clean is a rapid protein residue test. Swab the surface, release the reagent, and read the colour — no meter and no interpretation required.
This listing is the bulk pack: 2,000 tests. A 100-pack is also available.
How to read it
If protein residue is present, the reagent turns purple. The more contamination there is, the faster the colour develops and the darker it becomes.
Results in 10 minutes.
Why protein is the residue worth testing for
Protein is harder to remove from a surface than sugars or general soil, which makes it a demanding indicator: if the protein is gone, the easier residues almost certainly are too.
For sugar residue, use SpotCheck Plus, which detects glucose and lactose.
Buying the bulk pack
Two thousand tests is a programme, not a trial. Before committing to this quantity it is worth being clear about two things.
Shelf life. These are reagent devices with a real expiry, and refrigerated storage is what preserves it. Buy a quantity you will use within the shelf life, and make sure you have the cold storage to hold it — see the storage guide below.
Consistency of use. The value of a large programme is the trend, and a trend only exists if the sampling is consistent. If several people will be testing, agree the swabbed area, the timing and what an acceptable result looks like before you start, and keep a reference.
Where a colour test fits
- Colour tests (PRO-Clean, SpotCheck Plus) — specific to a residue type, pass or fail by eye, no instrument, minimal training.
- ATP tests (UltraSnap, SuperSnap) — general organic residue, numeric result you can trend, requires a luminometer.
Using it well
Swab a defined area, consistently.
Read at 10 minutes, not when you get back to it.
Sample before sanitising where your procedure allows.
Keep a visual reference of what acceptable looks like so the standard does not drift between shifts.
Integration with EnSURE Touch
Where the site runs an EnSURE Touch, results can be recorded alongside ATP data so the monitoring programme sits in one dataset.
Storage and shelf life
ATP and enzyme test devices are reagent products with a real shelf life, and that shelf life depends on how they are stored. Refrigerated storage is what preserves it.

Shipping: the price of this item includes thermal packaging and an ice pack, so the devices arrive in condition. Put them into refrigerated storage when they land rather than leaving the carton on a bench.
Frequently asked questions
How many tests in this pack?
2,000. A 100-pack is also available.
Does it need a meter?
No.
How long does it take?
10 minutes.
Does it identify allergens?
No. It detects protein generally.
How should I store 2,000 tests?
Refrigerated — see the storage and shelf life guide above. Make sure you have the cold storage before ordering this quantity.
