To meet the needs of automatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection with high sensitivity and wide response range, an ATP detection system was designed based on bioluminescence. By recording the light intensity at the beginning of the bioluminescence reaction using the automatic injection technology, the system can detect samples automatically with high sensitivity. The photo-electronic detection unit was optimized to decrease the influence of stray light and electromag- netism and increase the efficiency of luminescence detection. The circuit and data processing algorithm was optimized to broaden the detection range. The ATP samples with the concentration of 10^-15-10^-6 M were measured and the correla- tion coefficient between the ATP concentration and the light intensity was 0.974. The detection range was over 9 magni- tudes. Compared with the commercial products, the system in this paper has the virtues of automatization, high sensitivity and wide detection range. Therefore, the ATP system has a great potential in ATP measurement and the corresponding fields such as bacteria, toxicity and hygienic conditions, and so on.
