PRINCIPLE WHAT IS BIOLUMINESCENCE? Non-thermal light produced by living organisms as a result of metabolic processes at cellular level. (Greek) Bios = “Living” (Latin) Lumen = “Light” (The company name ‘Bio-Glo’ is derived from this concept)
PRINCIPLE WHAT IS ATP? Abbreviation for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate A chemical substance that acts as an energy source for all living organisms on the planet. The presence of ATP can be considered proof of the presence of a living organism, or of a substance produced by a living organism.
