What is ATP

• ATP is the energy source of all living cells
• We turn over about our own body weight in ATP every day

All ATP is the same but can come from various sources

• ATP from dead cells (free ATP)
• ATP in animal and plant cells (somatic ATP)
• ATP in micro organisms (microbial ATP)

With Promicol’s specific reagents, instrument and software, it is possible to selectively measure the various ATP sources in a wide range of food, beverages and cosmetic products

Using bioluminescence to detect ATP

• Turning ATP into light by using the firefly enzyme
• The produced light can be measured in the Promilite instrument
