Quantify microbial activity in under 5 minutes
Microbial issues don’t wait. Bugcount® 2nd Generation ATP® delivers rapid, actionable insights on total microbial load.
Bugcount® is the gold standard ATP testing platform for industrial environments. It brings together precision instrumentation, application-specific test kits, automation and connected data tools into one unified system designed for how modern operations run.
From handheld field verification to continuous inline monitoring, Bugcount® delivers rapid, defensible insight into total microbial load so teams can detect risk early, respond quickly and operate with confidence.
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 is Bugcount® smarter?
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 five 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® solutions
Bugcount® is a complete microbial monitoring platform built for real-world performance.
At its core is the Bugcount® analyzer, supported by application-specific test kits and optional automation through Bugcount® Guardian. Together, these tools create a scalable system for rapid microbial verification across field and inline environments.
