Technology

PROMICOL is producer of a large array of (patented) products for rapid testing of microbial load.

The ATP rapid test is based on the ATP bioluminescence method. The reagents from PROMICOL microbial ATP detection kits remove all sources of ATP except of microbial ATP which is afterwards specifically measured by bioluminescence reaction. In case no microbial ATP is present in the sample the reaction cannot occur and the sample is identified as sterile. The light produced is measured and expressed in Relative Light Units (RLU).

ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) is an energy molecule found in all plants, animals and microbial cells. It fuels metabolic processes such as cellular reproduction, muscle contraction and plant photosynthesis.
All organic matter contains ATP.
