Seeing what other tests can’t: How EPCOR used ATP monitoring to strengthen drinking water operations
For drinking water utilities, keeping biologically stable water all the way to the customer’s tap is a daily challenge. Even with strong treatment processes, changes in temperature, flow, or stagnation can trigger microbial regrowth inside the distribution system. Traditionally, operators have relied on heterotrophic plate counts (HPCs) and disinfectant residuals to flag issues, but these […]

BugCount® Fuel Test Kit – 2nd Generation ATP®
2nd Generation ATP
BugCount® Fuel Test Kit – 2nd Generation ATP®
BugCount® Fuel is an industry-specific test kit designed for under-wing fuel testing. BugCount® Fuel seamlessly blends the speed of traditional ATP tests with enhanced accuracy and sensitivity.
BugCount® Fuel is available for use in single-use packaging for under-wing applications, or as a bulk option for large-scale lab use.
The BugCount® Fuel test kit is based on the measurement of ATP using LuminUltra’s market-leading 2nd Generation ATP® Technology to obtain a rapid and interference-free determination of total microbiological concentration. This kit is designed for the quantification of total bioburden in fuel and fuel-associated waters.
BugCount® Fuel is ASTM D7687 compliant and ATP photometry is a listed method for testing fuel and fuel-associated waters in the latest 6th Edition of the IATA Guidance Material on Microbial Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks Appendix A.
- No lab, specialized personnel, equipment or skills are required to run the test
- Easy-to-follow instructions to measure living biomass via Cellular ATP
- Results available in just 5 minutes
- Low Detection Limit of nominally 0.25pg/mL (250 microbial equivalents per mL), although simple test modifications can allow even greater sensitivity
- All interferences such as organics, colour, residual chemical, and other characteristics inherent to sample matrices are mitigated
- All required reagents, including: UltraLute, UltraLyse, LumiClean, freeze-dried Luminase, UltraCheck
- Required consumables including tubes, syringes, filters, pipettes
Sample types
- Fuel applications
- Fuel-associated waters
Commonly used applications and industries
- Aviation
