In-situ-fluorescence-probes: a useful tool for non-invasive bioprocess monitoring.
Optical sensors appear to be very promising for different applications in modern biotechnology. They offer the possibility to interface all the well known optical analysis techniques to bioprocesses via fiber optical cables. Thus, high sophisticated and sensitive optical analysis techniques can be coupled to a bioprocess via these light signal transporting fibers. A wide variety of sensor types for application in biotechnology has been described. Normally these sensors are non-invasive and the response times are nearly instantaneous. In particular, the use of glass fiber technology makes these sensors small, robust and reduces their costs.
