ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the common energy carrier for all living systems and is essential for cell metabolism and RNA synthesis. It is constantly converted between ATP and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) form and hence the ATP:ADP is an important indicator for energy balance of the cells. Using microfluidic cell culture with an ATP fluorescence biosensor, we measured the long-term ATP...
