Application

HY-LiTE^® Liquid Test Pens for Free ATP are used for monitoring CIP (Cleaning in Place) rinse waters, biomass monitoring in biocide water treatment, or other liquid samples by measuring with the HY-LiTE^® 2/2A luminometer.

General description

The HY-LiTE^® Liquid Test Pens for Free ATP are ready prepared Pens to measure the Free ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) in liquid samples using the HY-LiTE^® 2/2A luminometer. ATP is detected by reaction with a luciferin/luciferase reagent in buffered solution.Compared to the HY-LiTE^® Liquid Test Pen for Total ATP (1.30102), the white sampling stick of the Liquid Pen for Free ATP does not contain a lysis reagent. Therefore, bacterial cells are not lysed and only the free ATP in the liquid solution is measured. A comparative measurement using both HY-LiTE^® liquid pens (1.30102 Total ATP and 1.30194 Free ATP) can be performed in order to provide information on the proportion of cellularly bound ATP.
