1. Overview
Starting Mar 2, 2026 Luminultra’s QG21S, QG21W, QG21I, QGOM-XLPD, and BQUA 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.
In short:
- You’ll see new Bugcount names and labels on kits.
- For QG21S, QG21W, QG21I, and QGOM-XLPD kits, you will continue to 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 QG21S, QG21W, QG21I, QGOM-XLPD, and BQUA 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:
- Updated product naming: QG21S, QG21W, QG21I, QGOM-XLPD, and BQUA kits will adopt the same Bugcount naming structure used across our entire product family.
- Modernize the test experience: For most kits, 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.
- Streamlined product selection: We are reducing the number of kit variants within each test kit group. Some kit iterations will be discontinued as part of this change; however, all testing capabilities will remain available. Please see recommended alternatives below.
