By providing easily and rapidly measured bioburden test results, the Quench-Gone Organic-Modified (QGO-M) and Deposit and Surface Analysis (DSA) tests for Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) in metalworking fluid (MWF) and MWF system surfaces can reduce annual fluid management costs by 5 to 10%.

We first reported the introduction of this technology in a live interview with Dr. Fred Passman during MWF Symposium III. It's interesting to watch the MWF TV interview of Leslie Thomas, discussing the industries gold standard test method, and then watch as Dr. Passman introduce the new technology.
