Process-monitoring via in situ microscopy
Cell density is one of the most important monitoring parameters in biotechnology. Until today, this parameter is mostly monitored off line or at best at line; sampling is necessary in both cases. Furthermore, such methods do not allow for continuous measurements. more
Process-Monitoring via mass spectrometry (Cooperation with ZAFH ABIMAS, Mannheim Univ. of Applied Sciences)
A disadvantage of today’s standard animal cell monitoring methods is the fact that “cell stress” is predominantly detected by looking at cell membrane integrity. This is correct in the case of quick and complete stress/death processes (e.g. necrosis). more
Glucose monitoring
Next to oxygen, the availability of glucose is one of the crucial prerequisites for cellular and tissue growth and metabolism. more
