KEY BENEFITSMicrobial contamination monitoring enables to :> Control microorganisms and microbial risks> Ensure industrial products quality > Immediately react by implementing corrective actions when microbial contamination is taking place> Optimize and verify disinfection procedures > Reduce biocides and waste water treatments costs > Reduce environmental impacts by monitoring microorganisms in effluents and reducing biocides use INvESTIgATION APPROACH1. Using the quantitative ATP-metry qGA™ kit, realise a biological audit of your network in order to identify critical zones (uncontrolled built-up biofilm, stagnation, clogging…). 2. Determine and localize immediate corrective actions and disinfection applied. Optimize the biocide quantity. 3. Regularly check microbial contamination on critical zones while processing to a complete biological audit using the qGA™ kit in order to ensure the microbial safety of your installation.TECHNOLOgYATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the main energy carrier for all living organisms. Thus, in measuring the concentration of ATP in living cells microbial contamination in water can be quantified. The qGA™ kit technology – 2nd generation ATP-metry – enables measuring only intra-cellular ATP, to quantify living microorganisms in water in 3 minutes. This value can be obtained through filtration of a sample and proceeding to lysis of the microorganisms retained on a filter to release their ATP. ATP, in contact with Luciferin and Luciferase, reacts to produce photons measured by a luminometer. An external standard calibrated Atp solution, ultracheck1, allows providing reliable quantitative results. Final results are delivered either in pg ATP/ml or Equivalent Microorganisms/ml.
