QG21I™ - Quench-Gone21™ Industrial QUANTIFICATION OF TOTAL LIVING MICROORGANISMS BY QUANTITATIVE ATP-METRY IN WATER SAMPLES LOADED IN SUSPENDED SOLIDS APPLICATIONS ? Process water ? Cataphoresis baths ? Slurries ? White waters from pulp and paper industry ? Biocides efficiency assessment ? Washing process waters A UNIQUE PERFORMANCE The QG21I kit - 2nd generation ATP-metry – is the only one allowing interference-free quantification of all living microorganisms in complex samples heavily loaded in suspended solids, such as industrial process water. TECHNOLOGY Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier for all living cells. Its concentration is measured by the QG21I kit via a reaction of bioluminescence. ATP in contact with a complex of luciferin/luciferase reacts to produce light measured by a luminometer. Results delivered in RLU are converted in pg ATP/mL or in Equivalent Microorganisms/mL using a standard ATP solution, UltraCheck™ 1, in order to provide reliable quantitative results over time. The QG21I kit measures the total ATP and the extracellular ATP contained in a complex sample of water: ? Total ATP (tATP™) is the sum of intracellular and extracellular ATP. ? Extracellular ATP or dissolved ATP (dATP™) is the ATP present outside living cells and rejected by dead microorganisms. From these two 1 minute analyses, the two following parameters can be calculated: ? Intracellular ATP (cATP™) which is the ATP contained within living microorganisms, directly linked to their concentration: cATP = tATP – dATP ? Biomass stress index (BSI™) which represents the microorganisms stress or mortality: BSI (%) = dATP/tATP. RECOMMENDATIONS The video demonstrations, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and more information about applications of the QG21I test kit are available on the internet website www.aqua-tools.com. KEY BENEFITS Monitoring microbial contamination in industrial water loaded in suspended solids enables to: ? control and handle microbial contamination in real-time from raw material to finished product, ? early detect and prevent related damages such as degradation of finished products, ? verify, optimize, validate and monitor cleaning, rinsing and disinfection procedures effectiveness, ? carry out in real time quality controls, ? localize critical zones for bacteria proliferation and identify the origins of microbial contamination, ? reduce the number of time consuming culture analyses.
