A UNIQUE PERFORMANCEThe QG21S kit – 2nd generation ATP-metry – is the only one allowing interference-free quantification of all living microorganisms in samples as complex as chemical products heavily loaded in total suspended solids (TSS). It directly measures the concentration and health of microorganisms in paints, adhesives, coatings, additives and industrial mixtures. TECHNOLOGYAdenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier for all living cells. Its concentration is measured by the QG21S 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 QG21S kit measures the following parameters in complex chemical samples:> Total ATP (tATP™) which is the sum of intracellular and extracellular ATP.> Extracellular ATP or dissolved ATP (dATP™) which is ATP present outside living cells and rejected by dead microorganisms.From these measurements, the following monitoring parameters are calculated: > Intracellular ATP (cATP™) which is 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.QG21S test kits are available in two formats:> QG21S Standard (QG21S) provides materials to perform 50 analyses each of tATP and dATP. This provides the most accurate indication of living microorganisms via cATP and allows computation of the BSI to assess microbial population health.> QG21S tATP only (QG21St™) provides materials to perform 100 analyses of tATP. Use this kit when no differentiation between living and dead microbes is required.RECOMMENDATIONSThe video demonstrations, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and more information about applications of the QG21S test kit are available on the internet website www.aqua-tools.com.KEY BENEFITSProducts such as paints, coatings, adhesives, industrial mixtures and additives, are all prone to significant biodegradation issues if microbial growth is not under control. The consequences of contaminated product can be severe (i.e. product recalls, lost time due to product re-working requirements, brand image damages, etc.).The QG21S kit allows monitoring microbial contamination in samples from chemical products industry:> Control and handle microbial contamination in real-time from raw material to finished products> Early detect and prevent related damages such as degradation of finished products> Assess in real-time the effectiveness of Biocide action> Reduce the number of time consuming culture analysesSTRONG POINTS> Quantification of all living microorganisms> Highly reproducible results> Quick measurement (results in 5 minutes)> Fieldwork possible for more reactivity > Detection limit: 20 pg ATP/mL> Low priced analysis> Results in pg ATP/mL or in Equivalent Microorganisms/mL QG21 KIT COMPONENTSComponents for 50 tests Store at Shelf-lifeLuminase™ XL Test reagent 4°C > 4 monthsUltraCheck 11ng ATP/mL Standard 20°C 12 monthsQG21S Extraction TubesUltraLyse™ 3021 20°C 12 monthsQG21S Dilution TubesUltraLute™/Resin 20°C 12 monthsQG21S LumiSolve™ TubesLumiSolve 20°C 12 monthsQG21S Pre-Dilution TubesUltraLute 20°C 12 monthsRECOMMENDED MATERIAL Ref. catalogue DescriptionAqua-tools luminometerLuminometer Rack for luminometer tubesCalculation softwareStarter kit 2011 QG210.1 - 1 mL micropipettor0.5 - 5 mL micropipettor1 mL tips5 mL tipsLuminometer tubes 2.5 ml tubes© Luminultraestampes.com | septembre 2011
