Who We Are
At Luminultra, we don’t just test for microbes, we bring clarity to uncertainty. Our tools and services empower industries to get the insights they need to act with speed, precision and confidence.
As a global leader in applied molecular diagnostics, we support organizations across the water, energy and food sectors - where microbial risks can threaten safety, compliance and operational performance. Through our suite of innovative testing solutions and expert services, we equip frontline teams with the insights they need to make high-stakes decisions quickly and accurately. Behind every test result is a deeper purpose: to help industries and communities thrive. From detecting early-stage contamination in food production, to ensuring asset integrity in complex industrial systems, to identifying pathogens in water networks, our work is about keeping essential operations moving with less risk and greater resilience.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Luminultra has grown into a globally recognized company with a team located across Canada, the U.S., the UK and France. We’re united by a shared vision: a resilient world where industries and communities thrive with clarity and control over microbial risks.
