The Kikkoman LuciPac A3 Surface (Pre-Moistened) is an all-in-one ATP+ADP+AMP hygiene test. It combines a pre-moistened swab and the test reagent in a single device, ready to use without wetting the swab with tap water. Swab the surface, insert the LuciPac into your Kikkoman A3 Lumitester and press START. Results are ready in 10 seconds.
Standard ATP tests measure ATP alone. The A3 reagent also detects ADP and AMP, the breakdown products of ATP, so it picks up a wider range of organic residues with high sensitivity. It is used to verify cleaning in food production facilities and medical treatment facilities.
How to use
- Let the swabs reach room temperature (20–30°C) and pull the swab stick out of the body.
- Swab the test surface with constant pressure. On a flat surface, swab 10 times horizontally and 10 times vertically while rotating the swab.
- Return the swab stick to the body and push it all the way in.
- Shake for at least 10 seconds to mix the substrate and enzyme solutions.
- Insert the LuciPac into the Lumitester and press START.
You set your own Pass, Caution and Fail benchmark values (in RLU) to match the cleanliness standard of your facility.
