Summary of Test Method4.1 A control assay is performed using 100 L of 1.0 ngATP/mL standard.4.2 A 5.0 mL sample of MWF is placed into a syringe andthen pressure- filtered
19、 through a 0.7 m, glass-fiber, in-linedepth filter.4.3 The retentate is then washed with a reagent to removeextra-cellularATP and other contaminants that might otherwiseinterfere with the ATP assay.4.4 The filter is air-dried.4.5 A lysing reagent is used to release ATP from microbialcells that have
20、been captured on the glass-fiber filter, and thefiltrate is dispensed into an unused culture tube.4.6 The filtrate is diluted 1+9 with a buffer solution.4.7 A 100-L volume of diluted filtrate is transferred to anunused culture tube into which 100 L of Luciferin-Luciferasereagent has previously been
21、dispensed.4.8 The culture tube is placed into a luminometer and thelight intensity is read in RLU.4.9 RLU are converted to Log10pg ATP/mL of sample bycomputation.5. Significance and Use5.1 This method measures the concentration of ATP presentin the sample. ATP is a constituent of all living cells, i
22、ncludingbacteria and fungi. Consequently, the presence of ATP is anindicator of total microbial contamination in metalworkingfluids. ATP is not associated with matter of non-biologicalorigin.5.2 Method D 4012 validated ATP as a surrogate for cultur-able bacterial data (Guide E 1326).5.3 This method
23、differs from Method D 4012 in that iteliminates interferences that have historically rendered ATPtesting unusable with complex organic fluids such as MWF.5.4 The ATP test provides rapid test results that reflect thetotal bioburden in the sample. It thereby reduces the delaybetween test initiation an
24、d data capture, from the 36 h to 48 h(or longer) required for culturable colonies to become visible,to approximately five minutes.5.5 Although ATP data covary strongly with culture data inMWF4, different factors affect ATP concentration than thosethat affect culturability.5.5.1 Culturability is affe
25、cted primarily by the ability ofcaptured microbes to proliferate on the growth medium pro-vided, under specific growth conditions. It have been estimatedthat less than 1 % of the species present in an environmentalsample will form colonies under any given set of growthconditions.55.5.2 ATP concentra
26、tion is affected by: the microbial spe-cies present, the physiological states of those species, and thetotal bioburden (See Appendix X1).5.5.2.1 One example of the species effect is that the amountof ATP per cell is substantially greater for fungi than bacteria.5.5.2.2 Within a species, cells that a
27、re more metabolicallyactive will have more ATP per cell than dormant cells.5.5.2.3 The greater the total bioburden, the greater the ATPconcentration in a sample.5.5.3 The possibility exists that the rinse step (11.15) maynot eliminate all chemical substances that can interfere with thebioluminescenc
28、e reaction (11.39).5.5.3.1 The presence of any such interferences can beevaluated by performing a standard addition test series asdescribed in Appendix X3.5.5.3.2 Any impact of interfering chemicals will be reflectedas bias relative to data obtained from fluid that does not containinterfering chemic

Hazards8.1 The analyst must know and observe good laboratorysafety practice in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1450.8.2 Inhalation or dermal exposure to MWF can pose healthproblems for personnel involved with MWF sampling. Provi-sion of persona
36、l protective equipment (PPE) in the form ofrespirators, protective clothing or both may be indicated (seePractice E 1497).8.3 Review material safety data sheets for materials in use atthe facility to identify potential hazards in order to determineappropriate PPE (see 29 CFR 1910.1000).9. Sampling a
37、nd Test Specs and Units9.1 Sampling Site:9.1.1 Select sampling site that will yield a representativeMWF sample.9.1.2 For routine condition monitoring, select individualsump(s) or central systems that have actively circulating fluid.9.1.3 For diagnostic testing, select zones of pooled orstagnant MWF.
38、9.2 Sampling:9.2.1 If practical, draw sample from the mid-point of thefluid reservoir, otherwise draw sample from below surface ofthe MWF at an accessible location.9.2.1.1 Microbial contamination will vary considerablywithin the fluid system and it is important to be consistent inselecting the sampl
39、ing location; this should be appropriate forthe analysis objectives.9.2.2 Collect sample by removing lid from sample con-tainer, immersing the open container (6.9), opening-down,below the fluid surface and inverting the container to allow itto fill with the sampled fluid.9.2.3 If the fluid depth is
40、insufficient to permit 9.2.1, use asterile pipet to draw sample from the fluid and dispense it intothe sample container; collecting at least 25 mL of sample.9.3 Sample Storage/Shipment:9.3.1 Label the sample container and follow accepted chain-of-custody procedures (Guide D 4840).9.3.2 Optimally sam
41、ples should be tested on-site as soon aspossible (50 mL.X2.1.3 Report actual volume filtered, and use this volume inEq1(12.1).TABLE 1 Precision Data for Log10pg ATP/mLMaterial Average RepeatabilityStandardDeviationReproducibilityStandardDeviationRepeatabilityLimitReproducibilityLimitxSrSRrR1 3.530 0

48、TP/ML IN EMULSIFIED OIL, SEMI-SYNTHETIC AND SYNTHETIC MWFX3.1 Neat stocks of emulsifiable oil (EO), semi-syntheticMWF (SS) and synthetic MWF (S) were used to prepare ATPextracts by way of steps 11.1 through 11.29.X3.2 Prepared ATP extracts were diluted (11.31 through11.33) and doped with a 100,000 p
49、g ATP/mL stock solution togive 10 000, 1000, 100, and 10 pg ATP/mL.X3.3 These doped Diluted ATP extracts were analyzed forATP concentration by way of steps 11.34 through 11.39. Testresults are shown in Table X3.1 and Fig. X3.1.X3.4 Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was com-puted to determine whether fluid-type affected the relationshipbetween RLU and ATP concentration. The ANOVA summary(Table X3.2) demonstrates that the only significant source ofvariation was the ATP concentration. There was no significanteffect due to fluid type.TABLE X3.1 ATP Sta
