LuciPac A3 Water Swabs for Lumitester 3A Smart (box of 100)

When used with the A3 System, these highly-sensitive swabs detect all of the organic residues and microorganisms in water and other liquid samples. This means they are suited to hygiene monitoring applications such as the purity assessment of 'cleaning-in-place' water samples.

Unlike conventional ATP tests, the A3 system not only detects ATP but also ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and AMP (adenosine monophosphate). This is particularly important when dealing with heated and processed foods, as ATP degrades to ADP and AMP during these processes. Whilst a conventional ATP test will fail to detect ADP and AMP, often incorrectly showing a sample to be clean, the A3 System will detect all organic residue, providing a truly accurate result.

Storage Conditions

LuciPac A3 Swabs should be stored at 2-8°C and should never be frozen. Under these conditions, they should be suitable for use until the expiry date on the box. We endeavour to supply swabs with an expiry date of 12 months minimum. Alternatively, if you choose to store the swabs at 25°C, they will last 14 days unopened, and if you store them at 30°C, they will last five days unopened. Working closely with a team of microbiologists, Klipspringer provides ongoing support for your A3 system. This involves helping you to choose the right number of swabs for each order and giving you the option of staggering your deliveries to secure swabs with the optimum lifespan.
