QGO-M XLPD™ Quench-Gone™ Organic-M XL Pre-Dilution QUANTIFICATION OF LIVING MICROORGANISMS IN HIGHLY VISCOUS ORGANIC SAMPLES AND/OR CONTAINING INHIBITORS BY QUANTITATIVE ATP-METRY APPLICATIONS ? Latex ? Admixtures ? Emulsions ? Polymers ? Personal care products A UNIQUE PERFORMANCE The QGO-M XLPD kit – 2nd generation ATP-metry – is the only one providing an interference free and highly sensitive measurement of all living microorganisms in organic samples containing inhibitors and/or being difficult to filter. TECHNOLOGY Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier for all living cells. Thus, measuring the concentration of ATP in living cells enables to quantify the microbial contamination in a sample. The QGO-M XLPD kit – 2nd generation ATP-metry – allows measuring only intracellular ATP for quantifying living microorganisms in emulsions in 5 minutes. Living microorganisms are retained on a filter and organic compounds are washed off. Microorganisms are then lysed to release their ATP. ATP in contact with luciferin and luciferase reacts to produce photons measured by a luminometer. Results are expressed in RLU and then converted either in pg ATP/mL or Equivalent Microorganisms/mL using an external standard calibrated ATP solution, Ultracheck™ 1, to provide reliable quantitative results over time. KEY BENEFITS Microbial growth in highly viscous organic samples can present a major problem. If left unchecked, microbial contamination in raw materials and intermediate products can compromise manufacturing process performance and equipment integrity. These same sources can also impact final product quality, which if not properly maintained can spoil products while sitting on the shelf. The best solution is early, accurate detection for proactive rather than reactive treatment The QGO-M XLPD kit allows monitoring microbial contamination in organic based latex/polymer emulsions, admixtures, personal care products: ? 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 corrective action RECOMMENDATIONS The video demonstrations, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and more information about applications of the QGO-M XLPD test kit are available on the internet website www.aqua-tools.com.
