Enzyme reagent Celsis®

for microbiologysample preparationliquid

Traditional methods of microbial testing rely heavily on lengthy incubation periods to achieve visible growth, for colonies to grow large enough for confident enumeration in microbial limits, or for unambiguous turbidity in sterility testing. Celsis® ATP bioluminescence-based rapid detection can reduce these incubation periods by 50%. As an automated rapid microbial test for aseptic and sterile manufacturing processes, Celsis® ATP-bioluminescence reagents will quickly screen for the absence or presence of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, allowing the release of final products through instrument-based analysis, following a shortened incubation time.

Rapid ATP-bioluminescence for Non-Sterile Product Testing Inge Van der Schoot, Senior Scientist at Janssen, presents information for decision-makers and technical scientific personnel seeking to learn more about rapid microbiological methods using ATP-bioluminescence. The fundamentals of Celsis® reagents are simple, yet powerful. Celsis® rapid microbial detection reagent technology is based upon a naturally occurring, ATP-bioluminescence reaction, which also provides the characteristic glow of fireflies. What is the ATP-bioluminescence Assay? Commonly known as the luciferin-luciferase reaction or luciferase assay, this reaction occurs when the luciferase enzyme converts luciferin into oxyluciferin to produce light in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Only when ATP is present will this reaction occur.
