Quench–Gone technology from LuminUltra™ is based on the measurement of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a direct and interference–free indicator of total living biomass. ATP is measured using the firefly luciferase assay, where a sample containing ATP is introduced to a solution containing the enzyme Luciferase, which naturally occurs in the tails of fire flies, to produce light. The light is detected in a Luminometer.

QGB test kits use filtration to concentrate microbial cells in a sample. QGB also removes plant cell and extracellular ATP, and in doing so, isolates microbial ATP to provide a true measure of contamination. QGB is optimized to detect between 1 and 1x10⁶pg ATP/mL using standard equipment and procedures, depending on the type or volume of sample analyzed.

QGB provides real–time measurement of total microbiological contamination. When used as part of a beverage manufacturing process, it can help guide preservation initiatives, prevent product deterioration, troubleshoot contamination incidents, and minimize health risk.
