The microphysiometer biosensor

Biosensors provide analytical information about biochemical and biological systems. One such device is a light-addressable potentiometric sensor at the heart of an instrument called a microphysiometer. The instrument detects a signal that is closely related to the cellular metabolic rate. The use of this device is discussed.
