3、g the cellular adenosine triphosphate(cellular-ATP)content associated with microorganisms foundin fuels and fuel-associated water.1.2 The ATP is measured using a bioluminescence enzymeassay,whereby light is generated in amounts proportional tothe concentration of cellular-ATP in the samples.The ligh
4、t isproduced and measured quantitatively as relative light units(RLU)which are converted by comparison with an ATPstandard,computation to pg ATP/mL and optional furthertransformation to Log10pg ATP/mL.1.3 This test method is equally suitable for use as alaboratory or portable method.1.4 This test me
5、thod is limited to fuels with a nominalviscosity 75 cSt at test temperature.1.5 This test method detectsATPconcentrations in the rangeof 5.0 pg ATP/mL(0.699 log10pg ATP/mL)to 100 000 pgATP/mL(5.000 log10pgATP/mL)for 20 mLsamples of fueland 20 pg ATP/mL(1.301 log10pg ATP/mL)to 400 000 pgATP/mL(5.602
6、log10pg ATP/mL)for 5 mL samples offuel-associated water.NOTE1These ranges were calculated with the formula for calculatingsample ATP in pg/mL provided in 12.1 based on the minimum recom-mended RLU for a 1 ng mL ATP standard when using the reagentsspecified in Section 7 and the luminometer specified
