Prerequisites for the on-line control of microbial processes by flow injection analysis.
Problems associated with the use of biosensors in process control, e.g. difficulties of sterilization and sensor fouling, are shortly displayed, and possibilities to overcome them are outlined. The advantages of flow injection analysis (FIA) are demonstrated and examples for efficient sampling systems connected with this method are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to problem-orientated sample pretreatments, preventing fast inactivation of immobilized enzymes in the analysis system. Examples of problem-orientated sample pretreatment units are given. A proposal for a computer-controlled self-calibrating FIA system is given.
