Working in tandem with our Lucipac swabs, the Lumitester A3 Smart System detects all organic residue and microorganisms on surfaces and in liquids, determining levels of cleanliness within seconds.
A3 Technology detects not only ATP, but also the lower-energy molecules ADP and AMP. Consequently, the device offers you far greater visibility and sensitivity when it comes to cleaning effectiveness.

A3 Technology detects not only ATP, but also the lower-energy molecules ADP and AMP. Consequently, the device offers you far greater visibility and sensitivity when it comes to cleaning effectiveness.
As with conventional ATP tests, the system can NOT be used for the direct detection of allergens. However, due to its ability to detect all organic residue, the A3 system could support your allergen management program. Click here to learn more about this possibility.

Finally, take a closer look at the role of A3 technology in different industries:
The A3 Lumitester Smart is a quick and simple device for hygiene control and rapid detection of food and residues on surfaces. With Bluetooth connection, the unit sends results wirelessly to your mobile or tablet, or alternatively via a cable to your PC. There is also a cloud app for storing and presenting the data.
The ATP test is one of the most commonly used hygiene tests, but in reality ATP is very unstable molecule, often downgrading into ADP and AMP. This results in unreliable measurements by conventional ATP-only tests. Using A3 technology, the Lumitester Smart detects ATP + ADP + AMP, offering unmatched sensitivity and finding the residues that were previously overlooked.
- Lightweight and easy-to-use.
- Highly sensitive, precise measurement of ATP, ADP and AMP, giving far superior sensitivity than conventional ATP meters.
- Auto-calibration.
- Set your own limits for pass/fail results.
- Bluetooth connection to app for storage of measurement results in the Cloud, allowing you to access the results from anywhere.
- Data visualisation in the app makes the measurement results easy to see and analyse in detail.
- Free Technical Support Available.
- 12 month warranty.
- Next day delivery for all swabs meaning there is no need to keep stock of swabs on site.
Swab Storage Conditions:
The
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 the 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.
The LuciPac A3 Surface system has been evaluated by the AOAC® Performance
Tested Methods℠ Program and was found to perform to the manufacturer’s
specifications. The two laboratories that independently carried out this
testing were: NSF International and Q Laboratories. Click

Standard ATP Comparison
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule found in all living cells. Food factories will often test for ATP when they are trying to determine the overall hygiene levels of a surface, as a positive ATP test shows organic residue is still present. However, it is a common misconception that a negative ATP test proves the opposite. In fact, even with a negative result, adenosine molecules could still be present in the form of ADP and AMP. Click here to find out more.
Unlike traditional ATP tests, the A3 meter can detect all forms of organic residue: ATP, ADP and AMP. This allows it to offer much more accurate results that ATP tests, especially after common processes such as cleaning, heating, processing, and fermentation have taken place. Click here to find out more.
The A3 meter introduces recycling enzymes that allow for conversion between all three adenosine molecules. The introduction of the PK Enzyme allows for the conversion of ADP to ATP and the introduction of the PPDK Enzyme allows for the conversion of AMP to ATP. This enables the A3 meter to carry out a simultaneous measurement of ATP, ADP, and AMP. Click here to find out more.
As with traditional ATP tests, the A3 system does not directly test for allergens. However, unlike conventional ATP tests, it is able to detect all organic residue. This means that it can help to monitor the risks of allergen contamination. By first carrying out a quick and cost-effective A3 test, your team can decide if a surface is ready to be tested by a more time-consuming and costly allergen test - saving money and driving standards of efficiency.
