Lucipac® A3 Surface (Pre-moistened)
Kikkoman Biochemifa · A3 hygiene monitoring
LuciPac® A3 Surface (Pre-moistened) measures surface cleanliness in 10 seconds. Kikkoman's patented A3 technology detects ATP, ADP and AMP with firefly luciferase, picking up residues other ATP tests miss, and the swab is pre-moistened so it's ready to use.

Benefits
- Detects what others miss: Measures ATP, ADP and AMP to find organic residues and microbial contamination, supporting HACCP, FSMA and BRC.
- Ready to use: Pre-moistened swab, so no wetting with tap water.
- Higher readings: In comparative testing, LuciPac® A3 gave 10× higher RLU readings than competitors.
- Safe on food-contact surfaces: Non-chemical-releasing swabs leave no residue.
- AOAC certified: Reliable, trusted results.
