Quantitate Microbial Cells Using a Rapid and Sensitive
ATP-Based Luminescent Assay

The BacTiter-Glo™ Microbial Cell Viability Assay determines the number of
viable cells based on quatitation of ATP. This simple assay can provide
results in as little as five minutes, and its excellent sensitivity
allows you to detect microbial growth sooner than with conventional O.D.
measurements. You can easily adapt the assay to single-tube or multiwell
formats, and you can measure luminescence using either a luminometer
without injectors or CCD camera.
