QuenchGone21 Specialty provides the means to accurately monitor and control total microbial population and stress level in high solids slurries and process fluids.

QG21S test kits are available in two formats. Choose the best format to suit your needs from the following descriptions:

• QG21S Standard (QG21S-50) provides materials to perform 50 analyses each of Total ATP (or tATP: living plus dead biomass) and Dissolved ATP (or dATP: dead biomass only). This provides the most accurate indication of living microorganisms only via Cellular ATP and allows computation of the Biomass Stress Index to assess microbial population health.
• QG21S tATP Only (QG21St-100) provides materials to perform only 100 analyses of tATP. Use this kit when no differentiation between living and dead microbes is required.

How to Get Started

LuminUltra's test kits contain all of the consumable materials required to run their specified number of tests (Defined by the last 2 or 3 digits of the product code). To use these test kits, LuminUltra recommends one of the following equipment bundles:

• Field Kit & Luminometer (EQP-PAC): Field Case, Micropipettors, Kikkoman Lumitester.
• Bench Materials & Luminometer (EQP-BTM): Micropipettors, Kikkoman Lumitester, Test Tube Racks.
• Kikkoman Lumitester TM C-110 (EQP-LUK): Kikkoman Lumitester luminometer & accessories.

NOTE: LuminUltra’s test kits can be used with the majority of photomultiplier tube–based luminometers. Contact LuminUltra to confirm compatibility of your luminometer.

LuminUltra is sensitive to the needs of each individual customer.  Our expert staff can consult with you to determine the best means by which the data collected from our test kits can be integrated into your existing data management practices.  We have multiple software platforms and can even assist you to integrate ATP data directly into existing control systems, process historians, and data archives.

Getting started with QG21S is easier with direct training.  LuminUltra can supply you with on-site auditing and training services, web-based training, and one-on-one consultation to get your process improvement program off the ground.  Contact us today to learn more!
