LuminUltra has entered into a distribution agreement with Kikkoman Biochemifa to broaden the availability of Kikkoman’s microbiological monitoring technologies for food safety and hygiene across North America.

Under the terms of the partnership, LuminUltra will serve as an official distributor of Kikkoman’s food safety testing solutions. The collaboration brings together two organizations with long-standing expertise in microbial control.

As part of the agreement, LuminUltra will offer two of Kikkoman’s core technologies:

• A3 Hygiene Monitoring System: This system measures adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine monophosphate (AMP), providing a more comprehensive assessment of surface cleanliness than conventional ATP-only tests. The expanded detection profile supports informed sanitation decisions, particularly in high-risk sectors such as ready-to-eat foods (RTE), dairy, and meat processing.
• Easy Plate: A ready-to-use, self-contained, culture-based solution for detecting pathogens and indicator organisms, Easy Plate eliminates the need for media preparation and spreading steps, reducing preparation time and simplifying workflows. When paired with the Colony Counting System, laboratories can further streamline operations by automating colony enumeration.

The partnership, which formalizes a long-standing relationship between LuminUltra and Kikkoman, is intended to improve access to sensitive and reliable food safety testing tools for the North American market.
