Changes to LuminUltra QGOM, QGA, and DSA Test Kits and Reagents  — Effective January 1, 2026

  • Updated

1. Overview

Starting January 1, 2026, LuminUltra’s QGOM, QGA, and DSA ATP test kits will transition to the Bugcount product family. This update aligns our Water and Energy ATP testing products under a single, modern naming system and documentation format.

This change primarily affects kit names, packaging, and documentation — not performance, reagents, or analyzer compatibility. Your testing process and results remain the same.

The only physical change to note is that the 20mL syringe previously included with QGOM kits will be removed (the test method has been optimized to use only the 50mL syringe). All other components and reagents remain the same.

In short:

  • You’ll see new Bugcount names and labels on kits and reagents.
  • You’ll access digital test instructions at docs.luminultra.com/atp that use the new naming conventions.
  • Your testing process, equipment, and results remain unchanged.
  • You can continue using existing QGOM, QGA, and DSA kits until your inventory is depleted — they remain fully compatible with Bugcount materials.

2. Why This Change Is Happening

This transition is part of our ongoing effort to simplify and unify LuminUltra’s product lineup across all ATP testing applications.

Key goals of the update:

  • Streamline product naming: QGOM, QGA, and DSA kits will adopt the same Bugcount naming structure used across our entire product family.
  • Modernize the test experience: Printed instruction sheets will be replaced by online guides and QR code links for faster access and ongoing updates. All kit instructions are available at docs.luminultra.com/atp.
  • Enhance consistency: All Bugcount kits and reagents now follow unified naming, labeling, and documentation standards used globally.
  • Remove unnecessary components: The 20mL syringe in QGOM kits is being discontinued to align with current best practices and to simplify packaging.

3. What’s Changing at a Glance

A two-column table summarizing all changes to QGOM, QGA, and DSA kits: brand alignment moves them under the Bugcount family; new names convert QGOM to Bugcount Fluids, QGA to Bugcount Water, and DSA to Bugcount Solids; packaging updates introduce new branding and labels; digital instructions are now accessed by QR codes linking to docs.luminultra.com/atp; QGOM kits remove the 20 mL syringe to simplify the procedure; and overall performance and reagent formulations remain unchanged.

4. Detailed Changes

Use the tables below to match your current QGOM, QGA, or DSA product to its updated Bugcount name and code when placing future orders or referencing technical documentation.

DSA

A four-row table shows the transition from old DSA Deposit and Surface Analysis test kits to new Bugcount Solids kits: old code 50 30 10018 for DSA Complete 100 tests becomes new code 50 30 10018 Bugcount Solids Small Tube 100 tests; old code 50 30 10095 for DSA Complete 25 tests becomes new code 50 30 10095 Bugcount Solids Small Tube 25 tests; a new item with no old code becomes new code 50 30 10058 Bugcount Solids Large Tube 50 tests; and old code 50 30 10012 for DSA Reagents Only 100 tests is discontinued with the recommended alternative of 50 30 10018.

*Note: The Bugcount Solids kit has two variants: 

  • Small Tube: Uses a 5mL tube for small samples (more commonly used in Water applications) 
  • Large Tube: Uses a 10mL tube for larger samples (more commonly used in Oil & Gas applications)

QGA
