“…A range of light‐measuring instrumentation, including home‐built sensitive light‐measuring devices had been available for some time [for example, see ]; however, in the 1970s, dedicated luminometers became commercially available, driven in large part by microbiological applications made possible by the firefly–ATP bioluminescence reaction. Work by engineers and chemists at the Packard Instrument Chemical Division (Groningen, The Netherlands), working on liquid scintillation counting (LSC) chemistry saw the opportunity to apply existing light measurement technology for radioactivity to measuring bioluminescence and other forms of luminescence using LSC .…”

This article, written by two entrepreneurs in luminescence, traces their involvement in the major part of the interconnected innovation and development of luminometers, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence and other technologies from the mid-1970s to 2011 that ushered in much of the field of luminometry as we know it today. Key developments leading to current commercial applications of ATP bioluminescence, luminescence immunoassay, cellular luminescence, reporter gene and other applications are described from the first tube luminometers derived from early luminescence studies using liquid scintillation counting technology to measuring bioluminescence from crude ATP and firefly tail extracts.
