Protect your product at every stage
Luminultra provides microbial certainty in every test. We give food and beverage producers the tools needed to maintain product quality and validate hygiene with precision so you can stay ahead of any potential problems.
01 A more complete picture of cleanliness
Luminultra gives food and beverage producers rapid, detailed insight into surface cleanliness. Our high-sensitivity testing helps QA teams confirm sanitation and prevent contamination.
Problem
Missed contamination signals
ATP alone can’t provide the whole picture. As ATP breaks down, important molecules like ADP and AMP - critical markers of cleanliness and early indicators of potential contamination - are left behind. Conventional ATP swabs overlook these markers, which can give QA teams a false sense of security
Solution
A more accurate view of hygiene, fast
A3 by Kikkoman detects ATP, ADP and AMP with one swab and one recombinant RLU result - capturing microbial residues traditional tools miss. With 10-second results, no external calibration and in-field simplicity, QA teams get a more accurate view of hygiene, fast. Identify issues before they become large upsets with a fast, easy test that gives you the complete picture
Where this matters
- Sanitation validation on surfaces and lines
- Pre-op and post-cleaning checks
- Packaging line hygiene assurance
- Hand hygiene efficacy
- Hotspot detection in environmental zones

02 Simplify pathogen detection
Problem
Traditional plating is slow and expensive
Traditional agar plating can be slow, messy and expensive. Available prepared media plates often require a spreader step, are prone to leaks, and demand proprietary readers, creating bottlenecks and driving up waste and cost.
Solution
Simplify with Easy Plate™
Easy Plate™ by Kikkoman simplifies microbial enumeration with pre-poured chromogenic media. No spreader required, up to 49% faster plating, and bright colony colors make counting easy. Paired with our complimentary Colony Counting software and compatible with a standard scanner - process up to 80 plates at once, at just a fraction of the cost.
Where this matters
- Routine in-house food testing
- Shelf-life assessments
- QA environmental programs
- Meat, dairy and RTE microbial enumeration
03 Accredited food microbiology testing
For over 20 years, Luminultra has supported the food and beverage industry with fast, accredited microbiology testing from our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited food microbiology lab in Fredericton, NB. Our expert team delivers reliable results for product, water and environmental samples, with services ranging from routine compliance testing to shelf-life studies and contamination troubleshooting. Local. Accredited. Responsive. Everything you need to protect your perishable product, and your brand.
Problem
National labs can be slow, expensive and disconnected from your timelines.
When you’re managing perishable goods, export and complex cold chains, waiting on lab results isn’t an option.
Solution
Luminultra’s accredited food lab for fast, reliable results
Luminultra’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab in Canada delivers fast, expert testing backed by 20+ years of food microbiology experience. We support processors with shelf-life testing, routine compliance, and contamination troubleshooting - with responsive communication and reliable insight. We provide
testing for pathogens, indicator organisms, and spoilage microbes such as E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria. Contact us for our complete catalogue.
Where this matters
- Pathogen monitoring and program verification
- Shelf-life studies and microbial challenge testing
- CFIA, FDA, export and retailer compliance
- Swab and water sample environmental testing
- Rapid response during contamination investigations
04 Resolve spoilage challenges
Luminultra helps food producers maintain consistent quality with better insight that enables stronger protocols, improved confidence and reduced risk of spoilage organisms.
Problem
Spoilage and secondary fermentation issues
Some facilities may still face spoilage and secondary fermentation issues even after standard cleaning and “passing” legacy ATP tests. This can result in bloated packaging, reduced shelf life and costly product loss.
Solution
Clearer visibility into contamination risks
Unlike ATP-only tools, A3 measures ATP, ADP, and AMP — providing a fuller picture of surface cleanliness. This added sensitivity helps reveal residues that conventional swabs can miss, giving QA and sanitation teams clearer visibility into potential contamination risks.
Where this matters
- Troubleshooting spoilage or bloating
- Packaging hygiene checks
- CIP validation and optimization
05 Manage internal training
Problem
Internal training programs are challenging to keep relevant
nconsistent training and staff turnover weaken sanitation and testing programs. Generic refresher content can lack real-world relevance, and internal development can be time-consuming and expensive.
Solution
Get training help from Luminultra
Luminultra offers practical, tailored training programs and workshops virtually or onsite. Backed by accredited lab microbiologists, experienced processing professionals and food safety experts, we focus on real-world operations: from microbial risk reduction to effective swabbing techniques and group training on new technologies.
