Hello Giovanni, ATP is today an online measurement with sample to answer in 10 minutes. It is definitely a measure for living organisms in fact it is the parameter that indicates life. Like you indicate it is complementary and it does offer an opportunity to measure microbial condition prior to downstream effects thereof. Inhibitory conditions can be a challenge and indeed not all industrial water lends itself for enzymatic determinations.
