Application

The Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescent somatic cell assay kit has been used to determine accurately the level of ATP present in neutrophils isolated from the blood of over 100 human test patients.

General description

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescent somatic cell assay kit may be employed for the bioluminescent determination of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) released from a suspension of viable somatic cells. Estimates of cell concentrations may be calculated if it is assumed that the ATP content per viable cell remains constant. The number of viable somatic cells are selectively counted because, as a cell dies, its ATP is rapidly degraded.
