Gravimetric

Six stainless steel coupons were used, three being the 304 alloy and three being the 316 alloy.  The initial weights of each coupon were taken.  The coupons were then soiled with Cedar's Chocolate Hommus by wiping a thin layer, but leaving some chunky spots, and the bottom half of the substrate.  The dirty weights of each coupon were then taken.  Coupons were immersed in the heated cleaner LFE Enzymatic cleaner 2.5% (130 F) and put in the ultrasonics machine for 20 mins.  Directly after removing the coupons from the cleaner, they were then immersed in the sanitizer Lactic Acid sanitizer 0.15% at room temperature (68 F) and put in the ultrasonics machine for five minutes.  The cleaned coupons were left to air dry for 8 hours. ATP levels were measured using Hygenia ATP Swabs followed by clean weights being taken for each coupon.
