Computer aided analysis for biosensing and screening.
Biosensors with animal and microbial cells immobilized close to the tip of a membrane electrode have been developed for chemical and drug testing. Our experimental results show that biosensors can be used for drug screening and to provide useful information about various cell-chemical interactions. A computer aided analysis (CAA) software package is being developed here using the biosensor for various screening purposes. This software package enables us to use a computer to analyze the biosensor dynamic responses. Computer simulation and parameter estimation techniques are used to select the best model and to describe the biochemical and pharmacologic effects of various chemicals and drugs on different cell lines.
