AKuScreen™
AKuScreen™ offers the latest technological advances in bioluminescence Exclusively available through Celsis, AKuScreen utilizes the enzyme Adenylate Kinase (AK) to effectively generate and amplify ATP in the sample. Because the reaction essentially manufactures ATP, detection occurs sooner then traditional ATP Bioluminescence with broad spectrum bacteria detection in as few as 18 hours and mold detection in 24 hours.
