Enzyme thermistors for process monitoring and control

In today’s biotechnology there is an increasing demand for appropriate analytical systems for process control. At present the most widely used control systems are based on measurements of pH, pO2, and pCO2. Such systems do not allow the direct measurement of substrates and products. To overcome this drawback sensors such as enzyme thermistors and enzyme electrodes have been designed and their development into industrial useful sensors for monitoring and controlling is the subject of active research.
