societe Cellular ATP - cATP™

Cellular ATP is the measurement of only intra-cellular ATP. The series of figures below explains how the intra-cellular ATP component contained within the sample is determined:

In the Total Control test kit line, cATPT is calculated as the difference of tATPT and dATPT. That is:

cATP = tATP - dATP

In the Quench-Gone test kit line, cATP is measured directly by physically separating dATP from tATP contained in the sample (via filtration).

cATP provides a direct indication of living biomass energy level, or in other words, living biomass concentration. This parameter is extremely important for water applications, where the goal is to limit the amount of living biomass, and also in wastewater treatment applications, where the goal is to maintain a stable population of living biomass.
