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.
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.
The Lumitester A3 SMART was awarded the Invention Implementation Achievement Award at the 2024 National Commendation of Invention hosted by the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation.

White Paper
A: ATP molecules are not stable and downgrade very quickly when exposed to external factors like use of chemicals or high temperatures. A3 swabs use Luciferce with higher turnaround and recycling process that can detect ATP as well as downgraded forms of ATP â ADP and AMP. Thanks to this process results from A3 swabs are more stable and repetitive.
Q: What is the difference between ATP and A3?
A: Our swabs can be stored in room temperature (25.0°C) for up to 4 weeks.
For long term storage we recommend storing the swabs in refrigerator at 2-8°C.
Q: How does A3 Monitoring work?
A: Ambient temperature of 20-22°C provides optimal performance for A3 swabs.
The swab devices should be allowed to reach room temperature prior to testing if they are from refrigerated stock.
Do not let the swabs sit out in temperatures exceeding 35°C. High temperatures may cause product performance to drop.
Q:How does A3 system perform in production using dry products Bakeries or cereal production?
A: In production facilities like bakeries or cereal factories, most of the products are exposed to high heat. High temperatures can instantly degrade ATP to ADP and AMP. As a result, standard ATP testing may not be adequate in this application, and there is a high likelihood of recording false-negative results. This issue also applies to breweries.
