Product overview

ATP Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) (ab83355) use a robust, simple method; the ATP assay protocol relies on the phosphorylation of glycerol to generate a product that is easily quantified by colorimetric (ODmax = 570 nm) or fluorometric (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) methods.

This kit can detect as low as 1 µM of ATP in various samples.

ATP assay protocol summary:
- add samples (deproteinized) and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 30 min at room temp
- analyze with microplate reader

Chinese protocol available. See protocols section below.

If you require a more sensitive product, we recommend Luminescent ATP Detection Assay Kit (ab113849), which can detect as low as 1 pM of ATP.
Notes

This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K354 ATP Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K354-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab83355.

Ab83355 was used to determin ATP levels in rat pancreas islets as an ischemic marker to predict transplantation outcomes. We extracted ATP from fresh pancreas that have undergo different time of cold ischemia : 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10h and in situ. ATP were extracted in Perchloric acid (PCA-2M) and grind using a Polytron. PCA were removed using potassium hydroxide (KOH – 2M) and pH was adjust around 7-8. Samples were conserved at -80°C before utilization.

We tested the kit ab83355 to quantify the total ATP in 80 hours post fertilization zebrafish larvae. ATP was quantified by fluorometric method (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) using a TECAN Infinite 200 PRO.
Ten l0 hours post fertilization (hpf) larvae were prepared following the protocol given by Abcam. Two technical replicates were run in parallel with a background control (mix without ATP converter).

According to our results, the background noise generate by glycerol phosphate does not allow the quantification of ATP in the larvae. Additionally, the kit seems to be not sensitive enough to detected ATP in 80 hpf zebrafish larvae. In fact, all measured values are below the last point of the calibration curve.

We tried different experimental set ups:
Fig. 1: Deproteinization using PCA (45 minutes) as described by the Abcam protocol. Each bar represents a biological replicate. 50 μl of sample was tested.
Fig. 2: Different deproteinization times (5 and 1 minute) and no deproteinization step. 25 μl of sample was tested.
Fig.3: Different dilutions (10 larvae in 100 μl buffer and 50 μl buffer) and clean-up without using acids (chloroform clean-up). 40 and 30 μl of sample were tested, respectively. Experiments were performed in duplicates.

Despite we tried different dilutions, deproteinization and clean-up steps, the general low concentration of ATP and the strong background noise does not allow the quantification of ATP in the larvae. Consequently, we do not recommend to use this kit for zebrafish larvae.
However, we would happy to try a more sensitive methods such as the Luminescent ATP Detection Assay Kit (ab113849).
