1、Designation:D768711Standard Test Method forMeasurement of Cellular Adenosine Triphosphate in Fuel,Fuel/Water Mixtures,and Fuel-Associated Water withSample Concentration by Filtration1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7687;the number immediately following the designation indicates
2、the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers a protocol for capturing,ex-tra
3、cting and quantifying the cellular adenosine triphosphate(cellular-ATP)content associated with microorganisms foundin fuels,fuel/water mixtures and fuel-associated water.1.2 The ATP is measured using a bioluminescence enzymeassay,whereby light is generated in amounts proportional tothe concentration
4、 of cellular-ATP in the samples.The light 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 alabora
5、tory or portable method.1.4 This test method is limited to fuels with a nominalviscosity#75cSt 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 log10pg ATP/mL)for 20 mL samples of fuelor fuel/water mixtures,
6、and 20 pg ATP/mL(1.301 log10pgATP/mL)to 400 000 pg ATP/mL(5.602 log10pg ATP/mL)for 5 mL samples of fuel-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 ATP/mL standard when using
7、the reagentsspecified in Section 7 and the luminometer specified in 6.4 and correctedwith a reagent-method blank as determined in Appendix X5.1.6 Providing interferences can be overcome,biolumines-cence is a reliable and proven method for qualifying andquantifying ATP.This test method does not diffe

9、esafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D396 Specification for Fuel Oil
