Product Characteristics

The LuciPac A3 Surface Pre-Moistened is a portable system that is robust, sensitive and fast. It is robust because its unique feature of not only measuring ATP but also its degradation products, namely ADP and AMP. This is important as ATP is often rapidly degraded to the beforementioned degradation products through enzymatic processes (in the biological residue) and/or heat. Only measuring ATP can result in severely underestimate the level of biological residue and thus proceeding operation as a result of a false negative. Unlike the original LuciPac A3 Surface, this version does not require the operator to wet the cotton swab before use. This version has a 12 months shelf life whereas the original version has 15 months.
