Find what others can’t
– better detection equals better “protection”
Kikkoman Biochemifa Company is closely monitoring the evolving situation of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As Coronavirus disease spreads, we have received many questions regarding Lumitester Smart & LuciPac A3. Below, you’ll find answers to common questions. We hope you find this helpful.
Lumitester Smart&LuciPac A3 hygiene monitoring system is capable of detecting and quantifying stains and residues undetectable by the human eye in hospitals, healthcare facilities, restaurant kitchens, food processing facilities, and more through a 10-second process with three simple steps “swab/measure/analyze”. This allows users to implement appropriate countermeasures quickly and on the spot for improved hygiene management, thereby preventing food poisoning and other health hazards.
Evaluation for environmental hygiene focuses on those areas frequently touched by hands, where have high possibility of cross-infection.
Hand-washing is the best defense against infection. Since a measurement result comes out on site, it supports hygiene education as an effective tool.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary molecule involved in metabolism in all living organisms. ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and AMP (adenosine monophosphate) are derived from ATP during the processing, such as heat treatment and fermentation.
This kit utilizes Kikkoman’s own biotechnology “ATP cycling method”. Ultrahigh sensitivity is attained with ATP plus ADP, AMP detection (Patent pending).
ATP Synthase
Luciferase
ATP, ADP, AMP are present in contaminants of facilities ( microorganism, excrement, body fluid, blood and food residue ). If the level of ATP, ADP, AMP is high, the cleaning is considered insufficient. If the level is low, the cleaning is considered adequate. By using Kikkoman’s Lumitester & LuciPac A3 allow to measure the absence of biological contamination (ATP, AMP and ADP) in 10 seconds.
