Job description

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.
