Quantify microbial activity in under 5 minutes
Microbial issues don’t wait. Bugcount® 2nd Generation ATP® delivers rapid, actionable insights on total microbial load.
Unlike other ATP tests that miss critical data, or traditional culture methods that take days to weeks, Bugcount® 2nd Generation ATP® gives you a complete, accurate picture in just minutes.
It combines speed, simplicity and precision in one test. Built for real-world industrial conditions, this testing method gives you the insight to catch microbial issues early, respond quickly and keep your systems running.
Luminultra raised the bar with 2nd Generation ATP®
Luminultra developed 2nd Generation ATP® when it became clear that traditional ATP tests couldn’t meet today’s challenges.
With decades of microbiology experience and a deep understanding of real-world complexity, we build testing solutions that work where others fall short. Our team supports customers with practical tools, reliable service and science-backed confidence to take action quickly and stay ahead of microbial risk.
Why 2nd Generation ATP is the smarter way to test
First-generation ATP tools and culture tests leave too much to chance. Bugcount® 2nd Generation ATP® solves the key problems that make older methods unreliable in industrial settings.
Faster decisions
You get defensible results in less than 5 minutes. That means no waiting days for cultures to grow and no delay in taking action when contamination is detected.
More complete data
The test is designed to extract all ATP from the sample, so you get a full picture of total microbial activity. You can detect low levels, reliably track trends over time and make confident calls.
Simple to run
The workflow is streamlined and repeatable. With just a few steps and no special training, your team can run reliable tests anywhere in the system.
Built for real-world conditions
Bugcount® kits are tailored to different sample types like fuel and industrial water. That means fewer false readings and more results you can trust in the field.
Bugcount® 2nd Generation ATP® solutions
Bugcount® gives you fast, defensible microbial results in the field or inline. The Photonmaster handheld analyzer is the foundation of the system, paired with application-specific kits like Fuel for aviation testing. For facilities that need continuous monitoring, the Guardian brings the same method into an automated, inline format.
