Rapid microbial screening systems use ATP bioluminescence and sensitive light instruments called luminometers to reveal the presence of ATP-containing microbes in product samples. If present, the result will be an emission of light in proportion to the amount of ATP present in the sample. Because ATP is only present in living organisms Celsis Advance. All pharmaceuticals, home care, cleaning, personal care and cosmetics, plus some beverages and syrups are appropriate for the Advance system.

The Automated Thermal Block is a Peltier-driven heating and cooling device pre-programmed to perform the lysis steps of the BAX® System protocols. It eliminates the need to transfer samples between separate heating and cooling blocks. After the lysis process is complete, the device holds samples at 4 °C until removal.
