A3 Technology detects not only ATP, but also the lower-energy molecules ADP and AMP. Consequently, it offers you far greater visibility and sensitivity than conventional ATP tests.
ATP testing is a traditional method for ascertaining how well a surface has been cleaned and whether or not any organic residue remains. However, ATP is an unstable molecule that often degrades to ADP and AMP. When this happens, it becomes undetectable to a traditional ATP test.
In contrast, the A3 Lumitester Smart System is able to detect all forms of organic residue: ATP, ADP, and AMP. It offers unmatched sensitivity, allowing your team to detect residues that were previously overlooked.
Thanks to the system's Bluetooth compatibility, you can wirelessly transfer the results of your A3 test to your device (e.g. mobile, tablet, computer). There is also the option to use a cable. Alternatively, you can store and present your data via the cloud-based app.
The Lumitester A3 Smart System was awarded the Invention Implementation Achievement Award at the 2024 National Commendation of Invention hosted by the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation.

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.
Certification
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 the NSF International and Q Laboratories.

The A3 System and Allergen Management
As with conventional ATP tests, the A3 System can NOT be used for the direct detection of allergens. However, due to its ability to detect all forms of organic residue, the A3 system could support your allergen management program. The reason for this is fairly simple: Proper Cleaning = Reduced Risk of Allergen Cross-Contact.
