Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA) Test Kits
Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA) is based on the measurement of ATP and is designed for low-solids, low-biomass concentration applications. ATP is reacted with luciferase and quantified with a PhotonMaster™ luminometer and LumiCalc™ software for detection of elevated microbial growth levels. Useful in a drinking water distribution system. Test results can be generated in less than 5 minutes. The kit is for sample preparation and does not include luminometer.
