ATP Calculator Worksheet

  • Updated

The ATP Calculator Worksheet simplifies the calculation of Microbial Equivalents (ME) based on your sample data. This tool ensures consistency and precision in your microbial load reporting.

Key Features of the ATP Calculator Worksheet

  1. Input Fields: Easily enter your Relative Light Unit (RLU) values, including:
    • Sample RLU
    • Background RLU
    • Standard RLU
  2. Pre-Configured Formulas: The worksheet automatically calculates:
    • ATP Concentration
    • Microbial Equivalents per mL (ME/mL) for liquids
    • Microbial Equivalents per gram (ME/g) for solids
    • Microbial Equivalents per area (ME/cm2 or in2) for surfaces
  3. Adjustable Parameters: Modify variables such as sample size or reagent volumes to fit your specific testing conditions.

How to Use the ATP Calculator Worksheet

  1. Record RLU Values: Measure your sample RLU, background RLU, and standard RLU during testing.
    • Sample RLU (raw measurement of your test sample)
    • Background RLU (control to account for environmental light or noise)
    • Standard RLU (known ATP concentration for calibration)
  2. Enter Data: Input these values into the corresponding fields on the worksheet.
  3. View Results: The worksheet calculates ATP concentration and microbial equivalents instantly.
  4. Save Data: Save your results for record-keeping, reporting, or further analysis. Exporting or printing options are also available.

Why Use the ATP Calculator Worksheet?

  • Standardized Reporting: Ensures consistent microbial load quantification across tests and teams.
  • Error Reduction: Pre-configured formulas eliminate the risk of manual calculation errors.
  • Time-Saving: Streamlines data processing, providing instant results compared to manual calculations.
