1、Designation: D7463 14Standard Test Method forAdenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Content of Microorganismsin Fuel, Fuel/Water Mixtures and Fuel Associated Water1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7463; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption

2、 or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method provides a protocol for capturing,extracting and quantifyi

3、ng the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)content associated with:1.1.1 Microorganisms found in conventional liquid fuelswith kinematic viscosities (at 40C) of 8mm2s1asdescribed in Table X6.1,1.1.2 Microorganisms found in fuel-associated bottomwater, and1.1.3 Extracellular (non-cellular) ATP present in the

4、 samplematrix.1.2 The ATP is measured using a patented bioluminescenceenzyme assay, whereby light is generated in amounts propor-tional to the concentration of ATP in the sample. The light isproduced and measured quantitatively using dedicatedATPtestpens2and a dedicated luminometer2and reported in (

5、instru-ment specific) Relative Light Units.1.3 This test method is equally suitable for use in thelaboratory or field.1.4 Although bioluminescence is a reliable and provenmethod for qualifying and quantifying ATP, this method doesnot differentiate between ATP from different sources, forexample, from

6、 different types of microorganism such asbacteria or fungi.1.5 For water or capture solution samples, the concentrationrange of ATP detectable by this test method is11011Mto3108M which is equivalent to11014moles/mL to 3 1011moles/mL for water samples or capture solution. Assum-ing testing on fuel ph

7、ase is performed on a 500 mL volume offuel the equivalent concentrations is fuel would be:61011Mto21014M.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns

8、, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use5.1 This test method measures the concentration of ATPpresent in the sample. ATP is

28、a constituent of all living cellsincluding bacteria and fungi. Consequently, the presence ofATP is a reliable indicator of microbial contamination in fuelsystems. ATP is not associated with matter of non-biologicalorigin.5.2 This test method differs from Test Method D4012 asfollows:5.2.1 By providin

30、ained test device and luminom-eter;5.2.3 By providing a method of quantifying ATP present infuel or water matrices in generally less than 10 min; and5.2.4 By providing for the rapid separation of the ATP fromchemical interferences that have previously prevented the useof ATP determinations in comple

31、x fluids containing hydrocar-bons and other organic molecules.5.3 This test method does not require the use of hazardousmaterials and does not generate biohazard waste.5.4 This test method can be used to estimate viable micro-bial biomass, to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobialpesticides, and to

32、monitor microbial contamination in fuelstorage and distribution systems.6. Interferences6.1 Sample containers and sampling devices shall be cleanand free of both ATP and microbial contamination.D7463 1426.2 Ensure that the sampling stick on theATPTest Pen doesnot come into contact with any contamina

33、ting surfaces. Con-tact with a surface or substance can cause contamination withhigh levels of ATP, giving erroneous results.6.3 Luciferase is an enzyme, which can be inhibited ordenatured by high temperatures, the presence of heavy metalsand high salt concentrations in the sample. These conditionsa

34、re unlikely to occur except in samples containing largevolumes of bottom-water samples from storage tanks andsimilar systems.6.3.1 For samples in which inhibition is suspected or likelyto occur, testing of a dilution of the sample is described inAppendix X4.7. Apparatus7.1 An example of the luminome

35、ter2is shown as a diagramin Fig. 1.7.2 WarningThe apparatus is not explosion proof. Theinstrument should not be operated in explosive atmospheres orin locations where there may be explosive fumes, as it cannotbe grounded.7.3 Sample bottle, round wide-mouth, nominal capacity 500mL, HDPE (High Density

36、 Poly Ethylene) or equivalent. Thereshall be sufficient excess volume in the sample bottle so thatthere is at least 10 % head space in addition to the 500 mLsample volume to facilitate the shearing and mixing of thecapture solution.7.3.1 Sample bottles may be reused provided they arecleaned and drie

37、d correctly. Refer to test suppliers informationregarding recommended cleaning procedure.7.4 Pipettors, fixed volume or adjustable capable of provid-ing discreet volumes of bottom water to determine the presenceof matrix interference as described in Appendix X4. Examplepipettor volumes include 10 L,

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units9.1 Samples shall be drawn in accordance with PracticeD4057 as amplified by Hill.69.2 To reduce the risk of accidental contamination, samplesintended for microbiological testing shall not

40、 be used for othertests until after they are no longer needed for microbiologicaltesting.9.3 It may be possible to accidentally cross contaminate thesample under field conditions. To reduce risk of potentialcross-contamination, rinse the sample device(s) and samplecontainer(s) with a 70 % alcohol (i

41、sopropyl alcohol or ethanol)and water solution and let air dry. All devices (except factorynew, clean bottles) should be disinfected is this manner tominimize the likelihood of cross-contamination. Use care tonot touch the interior of the freshly decontaminated sampledevices or sample bottles. Remov

42、e the container lid immedi-ately before dispensing the sample into the container andreplace the lid on the container as soon as possible.9.4 Microbial contaminant populations are dynamic. Mi-crobes within the sample can proliferate or die during theinterval between collection and testing. Consequent

43、ly, samplesshall be processed within 24 h after collection.9.5 If samples are to be tested later than 4 h after collection,store the samples either on ice, or refrigerated at 0 to 5C untiltested.Avoid freezing samples.Allow samples to equilibrate toroom temperature before testing.10.
