Optical sensor systms for bioprocess monitoring

摘要

Optical sensor systems are of increasing interest in bioprocess monitoring, because they are very sensitive, specific and non- invasive. Recent developments in optical-density probes, in situ microscopy, optical biosensors, optical-fiber sensors and infrared and fluorescence sensors demonstrate the growing importance of optical sensor systems. The possibility of continuous optical: bioprocess monitoring in situ, which offers an insight into a bioprocess without disturbing it, is coming closer to reality.
