Enzyme reagent Celsis®

for microbiologysample preparationliquid

In order to maximize the benefits of a rapid microbiological test method, it must be compatible with the types of products being manufactured, as well as the way the samples are tested. Through multiple ATP-bioluminescence reagent options, providing an industry-leading product compatibility range, Celsis® ATP-bioluminescence assay kits help QC micro labs test multiple product types using a single detection instrument – driving better efficiency and faster results. Robust ATP-Bioluminescence Reagents Delivering Rapid Results What is the ATP-Bioluminescence assay? Commonly known as the luciferin-luciferase reaction or luciferase assay, this reaction occurs when the luciferase enzyme converts luciferin into oxyluciferin to produce light in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Only when ATP is present will this reaction occur. Since ATP is present in all living cells, including prokaryotes, it can be used as a microbial testing marker for contamination if a sample should not under normal conditions contain ATP. Celsis® ATP-Bioluminescence Reagent Reaction The fundamentals of Celsis ATP-bioluminescence reagents are simple, yet powerful. Celsis rapid microbial detection reagent technology is based upon a naturally occurring, ATP-bioluminescence reaction, which also provides the characteristic glow of fireflies. Traditional methods of microbial testing rely heavily on lengthy incubation periods to achieve visible growth, for colonies to grow large enough for confident enumeration in microbial limits, or for unambiguous turbidity in sterility testing. Celsis ATP-bioluminescence-based rapid detection reduces these incubation periods by 50%.
