ATP is a constituent of all living cells includingbacteria and fungi. Consequently, the presence of ATP is a reliable indicator of microbial contamination in fuel s

39、ystems. ATP isnot associated with matter of non-biological origin.5.2 This test method differs from Test Method D4012 as follows:5.2.1 By providing for the rapid determination of ATP present in a fuel (petroleum) sample, a fuel and water mixture sample,fuel-associated bottom water sample, and extrac

40、ellular ATP freely available in the fuel or aqueous sample matrix;5.2.2 By providing for a method to capture, extract, and quantify ATP using self-contained test device and luminometer;5.2.3 By providing a method of quantifying ATP present in fuel or water matrices in generally less than 10 min; and

41、5.2.4 By providing for the rapid separation of the ATP from chemical interferences that have previously prevented the use ofATP determinations in complex fluids containing hydrocarbons and other organic molecules.5.3 This test method does not require the use of hazardous materials and does not gener

42、ate biohazard waste.D7463 1635.4 This test method can be used to estimate viable microbial biomass, to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial pesticides, andto monitor microbial contamination in fuel storage and distribution systems.6. Interferences6.1 Sample containers and sampling devices shall be

43、 clean and free of both ATP and microbial contamination.6.2 Ensure that the sampling stick on the ATP Test Pen does not come into contact with any contaminating surfaces. Contactwith a surface or substance can cause contamination with high levels of ATP, giving erroneous results.6.3 Luciferase is an

44、 enzyme, which can be inhibited or denatured by high temperatures, the presence of heavy metals, and highsalt concentrations in the sample. These conditions are unlikely to occur except in samples containing large volumes ofbottom-water samples from storage tanks and similar systems.6.3.1 For sample

45、s in which inhibition is suspected or likely to occur, testing of a dilution of the sample is described in AppendixX4.7. Apparatus7.1 An example of the luminometer2 is shown as a diagram in Fig. 1.7.2 WarningThe apparatus is not explosion-proof. The instrument should not be operated in explosive atm
