The application will indicate whether the measurement is valid. If it is, you will receive a first conclusion on the ATP measurement.
Click on Next to enter the values of the physicochemical parameters.
Entering physicochemical parameters
Enter the values of the different parameters that you have measured.
It is not necessary to measure all parameters to obtain an indication. The more parameters you enter, the more relevant the final indication will be.
Save the measurement.
Why is the measure invalid?
The measurement is invalid when the value of “R2 – R1” is less than 200 RLU.
This alert indicates that the addition of the Standard was not done correctly. Most often, this is due to improper mixing of the Standard with the sample. Tap the lumitube on a flat surface, homogenize, and restart the measurement.
If the problem persists, several factors may be involved:
- The reagents and/or sample are too cold. The analysis should be performed at a temperature above 18°C. Warm up the reagents and repeat the measurement.
- The enzyme in the lumitube is not active enough (expired, degraded). To check the status of the reagents, perform a check of the luminometer and the reagents.
- The sample has an inhibitory effect. Repeat the measurement by rinsing the membrane with sterile water or a specific solution after filtration of the sample (contact GL BIOCONTROL for more information).
How do I view the history of measurements?
The Measurements History tab allows you to view all measurements carried out by you and your agency.
For better readability, you can sort the measurements by sampling point, by luminometer, or by network or municipality to which they belong.
You can export the selected data in CSV format by clicking on “Export CSV”.
