Lucipac A3 – Finding what ATP misses

How do we know what we eat is safe? How do food producers test for harmful bacteria and contamination of their products, and is what they’re doing now enough? Current ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) testing methods are effective, but lack the refined accuracy and broad applicability of A3 (adenylate) tests.  ATP tests allow food producers to assess the effectiveness of their hygiene practices through measuring the relative light units the substance produces upon reaction. However, false negatives and testing errors can occur due to the flawed nature of these tests and less than optimal testing conditions. This is where A3 testing and the Lucipac comes in.

While the ATP molecule is volatile and can decompose, A3 is fairly stable, and tests not only ATP, but AMP (adenosine monophosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) thus A3 tests will be more accurate and reliable than their ATP counterpart. The Lucipac A3 Sanitation System is an ultra sensitive rapid hygiene test system that detects all organic based contamination within 10 seconds through its chemical analysis process. Just one swab and results are almost instantaneously provided to you with the most advanced sensitivity and detection power available.

The advantages of the Lucipac A3 system includes:

• Consistent results and higher sensitivity, detects not only ATP, but also ADP and AMP
• Faster, simple, safe, precise and easier to use than conventional tests – 10 seconds
• Advanced chemistry produces superior detection to uncover all levels of contaminants, thus resulting in enhanced accuracy
• Rapid on-site verification of sanitation processes, hence can be used as on-site improvement tool
• Easy to standardize as everyone can determine with the same criteria
• The numeric value display makes determining pass or fail results simple
• The paired app allows for easy management of results data
• Cloud storage allows for data access anywhere, anytime

For companies who produce food, having more accurate tests is not only a cost saver in the long run, (helping to avoid major product recalls) but also gives owners peace of mind, knowing that the food being put out is safe. Remember, A3 finds what ATP misses.
