LuciPac A3: Detecting ATP with Guaranteed Accuracy
Food contamination is often linked to the presence of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that is found in many food materials including plant and animal tissues and within microorganisms such as yeast, mould, and bacteria. Hence, many food manufacturers and suppliers conduct ATP detection tests regularly. This is one of the most commonly used methods to verify the cleanliness of your facilities and your products. However, the limited accuracy and sensitivity of conventional ATP tests are being brought to light by a study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
A research conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed that ATP actually breaks down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and then it further degrades into AMP (adenosine monophosphate). The problem with how conventional test kits function is that they exclusively detect ATP molecules in your test sample, leading to potentially dangerous false negatives.
The only solution to address the issue of inaccurate test kits and mitigate the risk of false negatives is to utilize the LuciPac A3 Surface. This test kit is specifically designed not only to detect ATP molecules but also ADP and AMP residues, hence its designation as A3 (ATP, ADP, & AMP). The LuciPac A3 Surface provides increased sensitivity and delivers more precise results than traditional ATP tests. Additionally, it is designed for user-friendly simplicity, yielding results in just 10 seconds.

To prevent dirt from spreading within production and logistics halls, it is collected in a collecting tray under the cleaning mats.
Choosing the right tub height depends on three crucial factors:
Requirements
Before making a decision, it must be clear what the site looks like, whether cleaning should take place inside, outside or both, and how wide the passageways are.
Vehicles and frequency
Which vehicles cross the clean-walking zone? Do shoe treads also need to be cleaned? How many crossings are made per day? If the frequency is higher, we recommend using a deeper tray because more dirt can be collected.
Maintenance intervals
The deeper the tray, the more dirt can fit in it and the longer the cleaning interval. This saves you work because the drip trays need to be cleaned less often.
Customizable Sampling Plans
Users, sampling plans, and test points can all be configured through the Lumitester Smart app, including pictures of each specific test point
