Promega-Water-Glo-System-Combines-ATP-Detection-Bioluminescence-Technologies-Quick-Highly-Sensitive-Water-Quality-Testing


promegaPromega Corporation's new Promega Water-Glo™ System, launched this week, offers a highly sensitive and flexible measurement tool for monitoring microbial contamination in freshwater, process water, seawater or wastewater samples using bioluminescent technology to measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Even the slightest change in ATP levels acts as an early warning system to quickly assess the presence of live microbes and possible dangerous pathogens in water.

Water-Glo™ reagents were used in recent research by scientists at the world renowned IHE Delft Institute for Water Education based in Delft, the Netherlands demonstrating the first “direct method” of measuring ATP in seawater. The paper“ATP measurement in seawater reverse osmosis systems: Eliminating seawater matrix effects using a filtration-based method”is published in the March 2019 issue of the international journalDesalination.

ATP detection provides technicians a number of advantages compared to other methods for detecting microbes in water such as heterotrophic plate count (HPC), flow cytometry and indirect methods such as turbidity or pressure drop. 

 

Benefits include:

 

Promega, a leading manufacturer of reagents, leveraged the company’s expertise in bioluminescence technology developed over the last 25 years to develop the Water-Glo™ System, one of the most sensitive tools in ATP detection in the environmental and water testing industry.

Water-Glo™ Chemistry is also available as part of a fully automated system. The AppliTek EZ-ATP® Analyzer with the Water-Glo™ Chemistry provides a total solution for online microbial analysis of water samples.
