ABSTRACT:
Methods, devices and systems are provided for detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in samples using the luciferin-luciferase reaction. An aspect of the invention includes a low molarity and low pH composition for use in detecting the presence of ATP. The low molarity and low pH composition can be used in combination with methods for reading, calculating and interpreting luminescence generated by the ATP-luciferin-luciferase reaction. Both the low molarity, low pH composition and the methods for reading, calculating and interpreting luminescence can be used with a single service hygiene monitoring format.
