Lumitester Smart is a portable luminometer for ATP test. The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) provides easy inspection for cleanliness levels by using LuciPac.
Lumitester Smart was co-developed by Kikkoman Biochemifa Company and OPTEX Co., Ltd. has won Germany's iF Design Award 2021, one of the world's three major design awards. By designing the operability of the device, the UI of the application, and the operational aspects, we are contributing to hygiene management around the world with an inspection tool that could be used by a variety of industries.
Features
- Hygiene monitoring in three easy steps
- Visualize the data with App
- Access from anywhere with cloud storage
ATP Rapid Hygiene Monitoring (ATP Test)
The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) offers a unique and powerful advantage. It is the only system that detects all three adenylates of ATP (ATP+ADP+AMP or “A3”) in one test, providing greater sensitivity.
Independent laboratory tests have shown that the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) can detect residues and microorganisms that other kits miss. It's also incredibly easy to use. Just swab as you normally would and enjoy the advanced sensitivity and detection power.
Why the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) Stands Out
Independent tests confirm that the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) detects residues at much lower levels than other tests on the market. Various food products were tested, and the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) showed higher readings (in relative light units, RLU) than its competitors. This means it can reduce the risk of false negatives.
Superior Detection and Reliability
A study by Food Safety Net Services in San Antonio, TX, found that the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) detected ATP, ADP, and AMP better than three leading competitors. They prepared solutions of ATP, ADP, and AMP, diluted them in water, and measured RLUs on each device. The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) showed superior detection of all three adenylates, unlike the other products.
Comparing Kikkoman ATP Test with Competitors
The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) is more sensitive and stable in detecting food residues than other ATP tests. During food processing, ATP in meat, seafood, eggs, and fruit breaks down into ADP and AMP. The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) can detect these residues when other products cannot.
What is the Kikkoman ATP Test?
The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate), found in various organic matter, to inspect cleanliness. It allows for quick and easy on-site evaluations of cleaning effectiveness in just 10 seconds. This test can detect ATP, ADP, and AMP, making it highly sensitive for various types of dirt.
This method is used by companies, municipalities, public health centers, and hospitals. It is also listed in food safety regulations and hygiene management guides in Japan.
Features of the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3)
- Highly Sensitive Detection of Invisible Soil
- Quick Measurement in 10 Seconds On-Site
- Easy for Anyone to Use
- Numerical Value-Based Inspection for Objective Judgment
Detecting Invisible Soil
Even after thorough cleaning, invisible soil can remain, posing risks for bacterial contamination, foodborne illnesses, and allergen contamination. The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) can detect this invisible soil, verifying cleaning effectiveness and reducing risks.
Quick On-Site Measurement
Bacteriological tests take two to three days for results, but the ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) provides results in just 10 seconds. This allows immediate re-cleaning and re-inspection if necessary, ensuring the area is safe to work in again quickly.
Easy to Use
The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) uses the Lumitester instrument and LuciPac test swab, making it simple for anyone to perform inspections quickly.
Objective Judgement
Qualitative inspection methods are subjective and can make continuous improvement difficult. The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) quantifies the total amounts of ATP, ADP, and AMP, allowing for objective hygiene management.
The ATP Test (Kikkoman A3) is a powerful tool for hygiene management, offering high sensitivity, quick results, ease of use, and objective judgment.
