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 […]

Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA) Test Kit
2nd Generation ATP
Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA) Test Kit
The Luminultra Water (QGA) test kit rapidly measures ATP in low-solids, low-biomass applications. Ideal for water treatment or distribution systems, it offers real-time microbial growth detection, aiding in early prevention.
The Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA) test kit is based on the measurement of ATP using Luminultra’s 2nd Generation ATP® Technology. It involves a filtering step designed for low-solids, low-biomass concentration applications. The speed and portability of this test kit enables tests from many points in a water treatment or distribution system to be performed in a short amount of time.
Detecting microbial growth level in under 5 minutes via the ATP in all living cells can mean the difference between early prevention and putting consumers or infrastructure at risk. Use these results to isolate problem areas, determine the root cause, and mitigate the issue – all during the same shift.
- ASTM D4012 compliant
- Measure only living biomass via Cellular ATP
- Results available in < 5 minutes
- Low Detection Limit of nominally 0.1pg/mL (100 Microbial Equivalents per mL), although simple test modifications can allow even greater sensitivity
- All interferences such as turbidity, salinity, colour, residual chemical, and other characteristics inherent to sample matrices are mitigated
- All required reagents, including: UltraLute, UltraLyse, LumiClean, freeze-dried Luminase, UltraCheck
- Required plastic consumables including tubes, syringes, filters, pipet tips
Sample types
Low-solids water samples
- Drinking water
- Cooling water
- Sea water
- Purified water
- Fresh water (both ground and surface water)
- Food and beverage related purified waters
Commonly used applications & industries
- Water treatment and distribution
- Product quality (paints and coatings),
- Aviation (potable water)
