ATP is a molecule commonly found in all living cells, it is the direct metabolism energy substance for living organism, which has special important meaning for the existence living organism and the life process. The ATP molecules will be quickly disintegrated after the death of organisms. ATP bioluminescence takes advantages of the catalytic activity of naturally-occurring firefly luciferase, which will oxidize the luciferin to oxyluciferin while consumingthe ATP molecules. With extra substrate, the fluorescence produces through this reaction will be linear proportional to the amount of ATP molecules. Thereby the amount of living cells could be quantified by measuring the fluorescence produced through ATP bioluminescence. ATP Quickswab is a product that base on the ATP bioluminescence principle, which can evaluate the microorganism contamination degree of the test samples.
